For instance, when you’re stuck in traffic going from Makati to say Quezon City, a trip that normally would take 30 minutes, when this trip takes you more than an hour that’s the time you get fidgety and restless. When finally, it is taking you two hours, you get out into the streets to find out what’s wrong and do something about the problem.
