Why is rush hour rush hour? Wait, that probably didn’t make sense, so let me explain it this way… My experience during rush hour is that most people drive UNDER the speed limit (sometimes as much as 10 MPH under in a 40 MPH zone… *grumbles*). But overall, it doesn’t seem like people are in a rush. Quite the opposite actually.
So, why is it rush hour? Where’d the term come from? I’d prefer to call it very annoyingly slow and frustrating hour, but I think that’s slightly too long… Maybe @$!* hour would work… naa, not that either. Do you have any ideas?
