I get a hit of dopamine when I pass cars stuck in traffic
That's all.
Today there was construction on the road and a ton of cars were stuck.
Then whenever there is an event at a nearby park I zoom on by them as all the cars get stuck.
Just realized how overly pleased I was when the person stopped all the cars, and I just was like... oh look, nothing is being done in my lane.
EDIT: Oh and I can get to my closet grocery store faster than a car by cutting through a parking lot cars can't get into simply because doing so avoids having to do a left turn onto a super busy road. Joyful, every time. More traffic at that light, the better I feel.
Glad to hear others are as petty as me!
