They’re as mad as hell and they’re not going to take it anymore.
No, I’m not talking about Network T.V. Although, there will be plenty of couch rage when thousands (millions?) lose their television signal when broadcast television goes all digital in two days. (Can you imagine a day without American Idol?!?)
No matter how much they rant and rave, hearing someone in the office say that their commute sucks is about as unusual as someone saying they can’t stand their boss.
I mean, short of taking up with the unwashed masses on public transportation, what CAN they do?
Well, people are getting Wired into action.
This is all because someone has created a place to ostensibly make you feel better, albeit of questionable value, in my opinion.
The people over at My Commute Sucks gives you a place to register your serious unhappiness and great displeasure.
“Millions of Americans are frustrated just like me, and our rage is boiling over into something productive.”
But being frustrated doesn’t ameliorate the situation. No, these people provide just the solution that is guaranteed to, likely, improve nothing whatsoever.
“We’re telling Congress to make smart, bold transportation investments.”
Wow, that should just about solve it.
There must be more than that, you say.
Oh, you silly person…of course there is.
There is a place to share your woes of road rage for all to see. A kind of Frustration Forum, if you will.
I’ll bet when congress gets a few dozen people complaining as to how their life generally sucks, that should just about do it.
Next, maybe we can get them to make air travel tolerable again.
Excuse me while I sit here and hold my breath until the skies are, once again, friendly.
Just after I watch American Idol.
