    Already twice this weekend I’ve had near misses where I almost committed PT rage. Why is travelling around so infuriating

      I’m not sure what your experience was, but I’m finding it frustrating in certain particular ways. I feel like it’s getting worse in that every time I take the kids out I’m unfortunate enough to encounter someone absolutely off their heads. The kids look to me for an explanation. Sometimes it’s mentally ill people having a bit of a tough time, and some understanding/sympathy is called for. Sometimes it’s a case of, “and that’s why you don’t do drugs, kids!” But sometimes people are just jerks, and it’s hard to explain.

        Unfortunately that is the experience even outside of PT these days :(

        I think the time of day / on the w/e is a huge factor. In the middle of the day I’d say it’s likely at its worst depending on route.

        Funnily enough travelling home at 2am on a night tram I’ve found to be the least eventful for me at least heh.

          Least eventful for me would have to be the earliest services I caught to get home from night shift jobs or to get to early shifts. You just made me think: geez I’ve had some shit jobs!
