Me too. I always sing out loud or put bouncy music to keep me going.

Sit their and wait, unless I have some music.

If we aren't moving, then I'll check emails or something.  But if it's a slow crawl, then I'll just sing along with the music or something like that.

When stuck in traffic I learn to nice, soothing music.  This takes my mind off the traffic and puts me in a better mood.  :)

Well, aside from being frustrated, I either put the radio on, or I do sometimes check my phone for calls and texts. Nothing much one could do when stuck in traffic. Except waste gas.

I used to have a two hour commute to and from a bank that I was opening. I used that time to study flash cards for my real estate license and passed it with flying colors.  I also have listened to hundreds of self help books and educational material while driving for long stints (like to my parent's house in Arizona). Sometimes I play games like seeing how long I can coast in neutral...my record is three miles...got pretty good gas mileage that week. I do like to listen to the radio every once and awhile-generally NPR so that I can learn about new trends and what is happening in the world. Sometimes I will listen to sports or even some of the radical political stations.

Listen to whatever is on the radio and go over plans in my head.  If I have a book on hand I'll even get some reading done.  Make phone calls to people you haven't talked to in a while. I text so much I forget to call sometimes.

Myself I put the radio on and find music I like and sing(not very good) but it passes the time faster. I even tap my hands and feet until I can move. What do you do?

This sounds like me.  I have the radio on or put in a cd for the choir music we are working on.  Love music!

I pretty much do the same thing...music is always a great way to pass the time and a fantastic mood enhancer!

Definitely listen to music or news on the radio.
