I have a pretty calm head. You have to in the Tampa Bay area. Congestion on poorly planned roads is a fact of life here. Just today I had a woman in her 20's pass by my car and barked something at me out her window. AFTER she wouldn't let me in her lane while I had my blinker on. Pffft.

Depends on the mood I'm in and whether or not I have somewhere to be. Sometimes sitting in traffic makes for a nice long jam session with your fav. CDs.

Funny you should mention that. This past weekend on a day outing from Jilin City, China to Changchun, China with my 24-year-old roomate, while witnessing her impatience at the crowds, the lines, etc., I realized that, though I was impatient, too; I never verbalized it, and that's all she did.
I thought, "Am I more patient than she?", or is it just that I have 43 years on her (I'm 67), and I must have somehow, without realizing it, learn patience somewhere along all those years. I guess, with the passing of the years, you just get resigned to the fact that you can be a impatient as you want--things are still going to move (or not) at the same rate of speed.
See? Age does have a few things going for it.
I've learned just to peoplewatch and enjoy the moment, whatever is in it. Time goes by much faster than when fuming.

It depends on where I'm going and how the trip has been. If I'm not headed to work or somewhere time sensitive, I'm usually chilled out. If I've been on the road with self-important idiots who have nearly caused several wrecks, and they seem to be in the majority, then I am not going to be happy. (Use your blinkers when changing lanes while allowing enough room for the person behind to brake if necessary, always check your blind spot, don't tailgate, and for the love of Pete, do NOT crowd the motorcyclist.)
I do a lot of driving.

Calm head. The only time I'm pissy driving is when traffic is actually moving good but some a$$hole in the farthest left lane is going slower than the rest of traffic.

I am the one with the calm head. I know others have troubles in life just like I do and am proud of the fact that I do not put stress on strangers because I am stressed out. It would be a Utopian world if we all learn to just get along...lol...never happen because after all is said and done, we are just animals.

I have to say it depends on the situation.
Calm head when I see other drivers doing things that don't affect me so much, but can get to be a fist shaker if the situation impacts me more closely.
Kind of wonder how some people even got their licenses to begin with.

I usually get really pissed off, ride their bumper and seriously push them, flick em off through a window, or drive next to them roll down the windows and yell at them, or at worst if they truly piss me off i'll pretend to ram them off the road but not really intend to do so.
Usually i'll just blow my horn at them, i actually had a truck horn installed on my pickup just for that purpose. These stupid drivers need to learn. LA aint a cool place for bad drivers. If you can't drive, then don't even come out to the streets of LA is what im' tryin to say.

I'm resigned to traffic. I give in...I can't do anything about it, why stress? I live in southern california, and it's pretty bad out here.
