I wonder what people who constantly chop and change lanes in heavy traffic do with all that time they save getting to work? On our normal Beaudesert Road commute we can watch someone change lanes literally dozens of times between Chambers Flats and Annerley. And then despite not changing lanes at all we're normally within a few car lengths of them by the other end of the journey... but obviously it must pay off sometimes otherwise they wouldn't do it it, right? On those occasions when they arrive at work MINUTES ahead of schedule, they must get some truly productive shit done.
I am always puzzled by that driving behaviour. Like, I am guessing the majority of people have a set start and stop time for work. If they get to work 5 minutes early, are they going to work 5 minutes unpaid? Or does that mean they can start work 5 minutes early, and then finish work 5 minutes early?
If I am getting to work 5 minutes early, I literally sit in my car waiting for the clock to tick over realising I could have used an extra 5 minutes to sleep in. It is quite the conundrum.
Note: I have a set start time, no way in hell am I going to work for free for 5 minutes!
