You Drive Me Crazy

I took god damn near every freeway in Southern California the other day trying to get from La Crescenta to Corona in rush hour traffic.  I made the mistake of constantly checking the traffic on my phone, and when the route I was on jumped from saying it would take me an hour to get there to an hour and forty minutes I would just switch routes.  I think I ended up wasting more time than I saved that way.  Here's what I went through:

I took the 2 to the 5 to the 10 to the 710 to the 60 to the 605 to the 210, then I got off the freeway and took surface streets back to the 10, then I took that to the 71, which I took to the 91, and then I got on the 15 and finally made it to my destination after two hours of driving.

10 different freeways.  11 freeway changes.  Dear lord.
