Life is too short. I commute 1h15m each way, each day (luckily only the last 15m in traffic), and I have learned to just laugh at the folly of my fellow humans as they fight their way to the front of the pack only to find them in the next lane from me an hour later. I have to say, though, that here in CT (except for the southwest NYC-commuters) the regular commuters are pretty relaxed and accomodating, overall, esp. compared to my native NJ.
Did you all see the Mythbusters bit where they tested the hypothesis that the “Rabbits” will get there faster than everyone else? In fact, they did, but not by much and the drivers acting the part of the Rabbits said it was a highly stressful way to drive (not to mention more dangerous).
But which finger shall you wag at her. I know which one she deserves. I also know which one I used when a guy at a stop sign felt the need to look at me, make a V with his fingers and wag his tongue between them at me. Hey Keith, next time………. Yes, I may have lost some brain cells along the way too.

A guy did that to me in Austin one afternoon. His wagging finger was about a foot long. My finger wasn’t wagging, but it got my message across.

Should’ve wagged another finger at her! Why do you think she did that to your family,Keith? Where they making faces at her ugly mug or something?
