Is there anything worse than construction traffic?

There can't be a lot.

Missed both my classes today because both routes to the campus are backed up.

This one road has been under construction for two years.

To make this day EVEN worse, I just found out that my Uncle's cancer is terminal and that he has 2-3 months left.

FML

edit: clearly having a family member pass is worse

When I went to New Zealand I had to stand outside of the Asheville airport for five hours because of some damn idiot with a bomb who got past the first security checkpoint.

They made us all stand in the sun without water and you can't leave or you don't get to come back.

sitting on an airplane out on the tarmac is clearly far more worse than construction traffic.

Sorry about your uncle though...it should give you some perspective on what's important though! Being stuck in traffic seems pretty trivial in comparison

Here in Asheville I take highway 19/23 home everyday. There has been bridge construction on various bridges on this highway for about two months now. It's about an extra 15 minutes sitting in traffic a day, but dealing with discourteous drivers is far more frustrating than the traffic itself.

And of course, my condoloences to your uncle.

You work downtown? I always liked to grab a beer after work to let 17:00 traffic die down some.

Nah, I actually work west of Asheville and take 40 to 26 to 19/23. But usually after work I just wanna go home and veg for awhile. :thumbsup:

    • If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.
    • Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
    • it's not so much this personal vendetta against the Carolina Panthers as it is more about Bryce Young never not once been in the same conversation with the top 15 or even top 20 Qbs in the NFL ..just saying
