“This is so boring.”
Kevin rests his forehead against the steering wheel of his Subaru, groaning in frustration. They’ve been stuck in traffic for almost an hour now, having only moved an inch over the past twenty minutes.
There are cars on either side of them with the engines turned off and whose drivers are standing on the pavement, stretching their legs and preserving what gas they have left. For as much as Kevin would like to do the same, he knows that the second he puts his car into park, traffic will start to move again, resulting in people honking their horns until he gets back in the car - and boy, if that isn’t one of his biggest pet peeves.
