I hate lines and crowds and being behind slow drivers as well as having people tailgating me. I don't wait at restaurants, if there is a line, I'm out of there. That use to make it hard to find a place for date night but now that we're older/retired and show up at restaurants at 4:30 like any other self-respecting codger it is a bit easier. I did learn one trick I still sometimes use; if someone is going too slow in front or tailgating, just pull out of the line and wait a minute or two and they'll be gone along with that frustration. I pay especial attention to the tailgaters these days though because they're the real angry ones and if I slow down or something it just pisses them off more and, nowadays, you don't know who has a gun/is crazy, etc. Drivers are too aggressive these days.
