To hell with their popularity: embracing the suck doesn't mean doing everything you can to make it suck more.

After you drive economically for a while you'll discover that you still get where you're going at about the same time. It follows that "being in a hurry" is more about living the stress than actually getting somewhere more quickly. I can't help them get there sooner, all I can do be amused at their stupid and unconstructive reactions to unnecessary stress.
