You don’t live in Seattle too, do you? Because this describes Mercer Street, aka the deepest circle of Hell. Cars get stuck in the intersections, the people behind you are honking because you’re refusing to be the next person stuck blocking traffic, other people are pulling into the parking lane and then trying to merge back into traffic where there’s NO ROOM already…
It has taken me two hours to drive from 5th Ave to the freeway on-ramp down Mercer. It’s 3/4 of a mile. I hit the on-ramp and burst into hysterical sobbing.
