    I’d assume driving would be the worst for mental health since you don’t get any exercise and can’t do anything else either. You can finish some work or read a book on the train, or get some exercise through walking or biking, but with cars none of these.

        I drove a diesel engine car for a while and felt everyone was so SLOW even on the fast lane, as if they’re sightseeing or something. Then I tried a gasoline car and I noticed that I have a better temper. Turns out the diesel engine vibration is more noticeable at low RPM and it’s getting to my nerves.

        Listen to audiobook

        Some jackass pulls in front of you and goes 10 mph under the speed limit

        Traffic is moving juuuuust inconveniently enough that you can’t get around them

        They get to an intersection with a notoriously long stoplight and slow down even more, even though it’s still green, until it turns yellow, then red.

        Spend the time stuck at the light silently scathing at them.

        Realize you haven’t been paying attention to your audiobook for the last 10 minutes.
