I always found that guys with fancy cars, bling bling and all the chicks had smaller... er... gear shifters than the um... the joysticks of quiet, skinny computer nerds.
Edit: I have also noticed a trend where the nerds have started to bling out their towers with lights and flashy things.

I recall a time when I stopped at a red light. I was in the right lane, and I was the first car that was in line for that time the light was red. This idiot behind me was going to turn right, and I was going to go straight. The person behind me was such a maniac that he (or she) drove up the curb and through the grass to make their turn and then went speeding off, just because they couldn’t wait another minute. I just laugh at people like that. I see people, who are in the right lane, going out into the intersection to let the car behind them have enough room to make a right turn on a red light. I never do that; I stay stopped at the line, and if someone wants to turn right, then they have to wait. When I am driving, I like to go the speed limit, even if it makes people angry. I have never gotten a speeding ticket before. It’s just not worth having to pay a bunch of money for something stupid and having it get put onto a record. Also, many intersections in my area have cameras up by the lights to catch people who run red lights or speed, in which people who do that would get a ticket in the mail. I think that is a good idea.

People are in such a hurry because they are very busy. Remember, you cannot be successful and happy in life if you are not constantly "busy".

A couple of years ago, I had the phone number for my computer repair business on a sticker on my car. One day I'm driving and the phone rings. When I pick up I hear a voice that says "dude, you are going too slow!” It was the guy in the car behind me! I told him I was driving at the exact speed posted on the signs for that road and he kept telling me "You’re going too slow, trust me!" Next day I took the sticker off. Nobody called me to fix computers anyway, only idiots.

Indeed, the appearance of busy is the popular façade of importance.
This concept inversly conditions the herd to believe that success only comes from "hard work" instead of "smart work". Either that or they adopt the concept in order to praise their own insignificance, while abhorring anyone of great significance.
They will lose their jobs for not appearing to be working hard. No wonder it is of sociable importance amongst laboring slaves to appear to be in a hurry amongst themselves.
