Drivers Everywhere Are Admitting They Talk to Other Cars, and Honestly, Same

'Come on, buddy' is a complete sentence, and the other driver will never hear it.

A recent viral confession struck a nerve with millions of drivers: admit it, you narrate traffic out loud to people who cannot hear you, and you've been doing it for years.

The vocabulary is remarkably consistent nationwide. 'Come on, buddy.' 'Pick a lane, friend.' 'Oh, NOW you signal?' Delivered to a windshield, received by no one, deeply satisfying anyway.

Psychologists say the running commentary is actually healthy. Naming the frustration out loud releases it, keeping you calmer than silent stewing ever would. Your monologue is a pressure valve.

The best part is the universal ending: the offending car exits, your tone softens, and you wish a total stranger well. 'There you go, buddy.' Traffic forgiven. Drive on.
