    You’re already late for work.

    Rushing won’t help that. Speeding won’t help that. Aggressively accelerating and slamming on brakes won’t help that.

    By the time I’m late for work, it’s no more annoying than seeing it on any other morning where I’m still going to work, and still have to scrape at ice/frost.

    Maybe it’s just not my personal compounding annoyance, because I certainly understand multiple minor annoyances piling on making you pissed.

    Lpt: boil water at night before bed, so you can use it to melt the ice off the windshield. Just pop it in the freezer to keep it until morning.

      Some jobs arent forvivving. At the coal mije i work at, being late can mean a permanent reduction in your pay. Its the only job that pays anything close to a living wage here, so you cant just quit and find a new one. You either get there on time or explain to your husband why he cant cook the nice meals he likes to and has to buy ramen.

        That’s fair, I totally understand that some employers are assholes about someone being late even if they’ve been on time for 27 years.

        But when you’re already late… What can you do? Being there 2 minutes later won’t help when your employer is like that.
