#1094 Game Time: Pay it Back

on Oct. 12, 2006

Yesterday I was caught in one of the worst traffic jams I'd ever seen. Basically my roommate and I had to go to Staples to print something out and then to K-Mart for some supplies (I don't normally shop at K-Mart, personally, but it was right across the parking lot, so…). Anyway, on our way their we saw a small traffic jam and said to ourselves, "Well, lucky we're not going that direction", assuming that, like most traffic jams, it would clear up by the time we were heading back. Well, lo and behold, by the time we had finished shopping the jam had actually stretched the extra half-mile all the way to K-Mart, and it went past it even. We ended up stuck in traffic for hours. We literally could have walked to the stores we visited and back in the time it took us to drive home.
