    It is the only time when I can really pump up the jam and go nuts. You can’t do it at home because your neighbors will murder you if you are loud enough. It is also unfair to lay all the dB’s on the same people all the time. That said, I only use the kind of volume that makes it hard to see straight during the morning commute. It is annoying for the closest 400 cars, but not as annoying as if I fall asleep and plow right into you. Yes, I have already OD’d on coffee to the point of seeing god in the rear view mirror by that time, but I am still fully capable of falling spontaneously asleep, thank you very much. So think before you get too annoyed in the future. That obnoxiously loud asshole may just have saved your life by playing bagpipe music at a volume that makes the clouds shift above her car. You’re welcome.

      No, that sounds more like you have a sleep issue you are neglecting and now you’re making it everyone else’s problem…

      Grow up and fix yourself before you start being proud about being broken, ffs. If it’s remotely a problem to stay awake after sleep and caffeine, you should be talking to doctors.

        This is late stage capitalism. We all have bour long commutes and work 9 hour shifts. Half the day is dedicated to work at this point, and that is assuming you just get up and go straight to work. So if you want to watch some tv, make dinner, and spend time with your kids when you get home, you have to take that time from somewhere else, and the only place to take that is from time set aside for sleeping.

          That doesn’t mean it’s magically OK to be so irresponsible that you put others in danger.

            Correct. We need a better system that prevents these dangerous activities. You can punish the persin sharing rhw story all you want, but it wont change anything and other exhausted drivers will take their place.

              The problem wasn’t having a problem. The problem was “fixing” the problem by introducing more problems.

      You can’t do it at home because your neighbors will murder you if you are loud enough.

      Doing that in a car though just makes it everyone else’s problem, though. You’d think living in a city would have desensitized me by now, but I still get woken up some nights by people playing music in their cars loud enough to shake my window screens as they drive by.

      If you need that just to stay awake, I don’t think you should be driving to be perfectly honest.

      Get some decent headphones and stop being a selfish jerk who might hurt people. You can transcend without driving a fucking car.

      So…. To summarize:

      Because you are irresponsible, everyone around you has to suffer though whatever it is you feel they need to listen to regardless of their wishes?

      I get that you probably think you’re clever, but this came off as selfish and cringy. Unless I missed the obligatory /s.
