Not to be a dick or anything, but... I love living 4 miles from work.
10 minute commute (15 if I don't hit the lights just right.)
It sucks when I'm trying to get somewhere on the freeway, and things like that happen though.
One time I had a flat tire on 494 durring the morning commute. It was about 7:00 or so. Traffic was moving pretty good. I drove an extra hundred feet or so to get to a place where I would be well of the road. In the time it took me to change my tire (10 - 15 minutes) traffic was almost at a stand still behind me, yet still moving pretty decent in front of me. I felt bad for holding up traffic like that, but what could I do? I had a flat tire. I was at least 5 feet from the edge of the road (right side of the road) and it was my right rear tire that was flat. ? ? ?
