You're stressed out. I'm stressed out. We're all stressed out.

It's official: New Jersey is the most stressed out state in the U.S. (at least according to a recent report by Zippia).

Garden State? More like The Agita State.

Is it our long work hours? Having to sit in traffic on Route 1 (probably)? Are there just too many people in this state and we're all driving each other insane?

Ridiculously high taxes? Nah, couldn’t be that.

It could be the stress inducing Jughandles. When I visit relatives in NJ I know I want to shoot myself if I have to make a turn.

And the traffic circles.

We go
Cape May to my parents alpaca farm every summer
It’s lovely and fun
We love Wildwood beach

Please stop moving to Virginia.
Voting for what you were fleeing is ruining my state.

Virginia has turned left since 2006.

[Lurkinanloomin]

No kidding, too many northeast liberals and illegal aliens have ruined my beautiful Virginia.

Before George W. Bush was President, Virginia was low crime, Republican and English speaking.

The Asbury circle is the Worst. You take your life in your hands maneuvering it.
There should be one rule.. drivers IN the circle should have the right of way.. but no.. every circle has its own haphazard set of rules.

Yes, you probably ARE. I commuted 50 miles from the Princeton area to Parsippany in the late 1980s and then it took 3 hours our of my day (unless it was raining, like half the year - then it took 4 hours total).

Then I asked Uncle Sam to get me OUTTAHERE!! And he obliged.

I honestly cannot imagine how long it must take TODAY, 30 years later. And you don’t even have Bob Grant to listen to on the drive back anymore (RIP).

My sympathies. Now get off your behind and GETOUTATHERE!!!

Elections have consequences.
If you elect Dems, RINOs and clowns to office, you get a circus

I grew up and learned to drive in NJ. I loved jughandles. At night you could use them to go straight on red. Same with high speed traffic circles. Take the racer's line. Enter from the right lane, zip into left lane on the circle, come out on the right. Don't slow down.

The intersections that I have driven recently, those that had circles but no longer do, are not improved at all.

The far northwest and the far southeast are very nice in NJ. They vote R also.

Guilty as charged. I finally had enough, and in 2013 at age 53 called it quits. My residence was in Mount Laurel (26 years) and congested out the ying-yang) and I had a shore house in West Wildwood. I took a 7 month sabbatical, and sold the ML house and went full time residency in West Wildwood.

The area didn't provide full employment, so I went back part time, but there is no way I would I would have lasted in the grind. Beach tomorrow yo!

No surprise with a crook and an asshole for U.S. Senators.
