A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I like to be nice and give people at least thirty seconds, but I'm never in a hurry. I heavily pad driving times. I hate, hate, hate driving in a hurry. I'm usually a half hour early to everything.
Conversely I find it super rude when people give me less than a few seconds to react to a light. There's so much rude driving in general. Be polite and courteous on the road. Didn't your mother ever teach you to be polite?
30 seconds?!? Lights cycle faster than that where I live! 🤣
Yeah that's going to go red and then back to green before you give a lil toot.
What valid reasons do you have to ever take longer than a couple of second getting off of a light? I can understand if it looks like someone isn't going to stop for cross traffic, but in my experiences, that is very seldom. Other than that, you're either an asshole or distracted.
I hope we never meet on the road. Have you considered Uber?
