Not at all? very short fuse? moderate?
I used to get pissed quick, but I've been much better about it over the years..
Tonight I was holding the steering wheel a little tight after about half hour of going 2 miles 
how are you in traffic?

Also have Sirius XM, so just sitting there doesnt bother me that much if I'm stuck in a traffic jam. I do tend to get a little pissy when I drive though if its just one ahole holding me up.

I like driving. I find it relaxing. I don't commute every day though so I guess it could get old. Running up to a client's office is like 45 minute round trip. If I time it wrong it ends up being twice that. It doesn't really bother me much though. I just roll down the windows and turn up the radio.

Ugh I couldn't do a daily 45-50 minute commute one-way. When I bought my place, I made sure that it was a 15-minute drive to work, even with bad weather and roads. Now it's a 5 minute walk to work, which is utterly luxurious.
Anyway, to answer your question, I'd be raging by about 20 minutes in.

I would take backroads if I knew it was going to be an extra long commute, it might not be much faster, but at least its a more scenic drive than taillights and bumpers on the freeway.
I don't get pissed, there is no sense in it, there is nothing you can do to change it.

Ugh. I'm commuting two hours each way until June. I have to stay on the other side of the state for days at a time, though, so I often get a hotel and just stay out there. This week is only one day, though (tomorrow), so I'll be going there and coming back after a day on my feet. Not looking forward to it.

I drive an hour and a half to work each day over 40 miles. It takes 45 minutes to reach mile 38, and another 45 minutes to reach mile 40. On nice days I get off the highway just before the traffic and bike the rest.

Longer than 30 minutes.
Going TO work is about 25 minutes. So once I hit the 30 minute mark (traffic/an accident is holding things up) I start to get cranky.
Coming home is only about 15ish minutes, so the only thing that annoys me are douche knockers I encounter on the way.

I get freaking ticked after about 10 minutes. I had to drive down to south Denver from where I'm at every day at rush hour to go down to the police academy 5 nights a week. On a Saturday morning, it's like 30 minutes from my house. Denver rush hour, 1 1/2-2 hours. Did that for a year. SUCKED DONKEY BALLSACS.
the best was when I would drive all the way down there only for them to tell us classes were cancelled

if it is beyond control, a wreck or something i cant help, im fine. not happy but ok
if it is because of an idiot going below the speed limit, i will get pissed.
if you are on the highway, and cant manage to do even the barest minimum of the speed limit, get the frick off and get on a side road where you will be at least doing the speed limit (we hope).

My commute one way is 50 miles but it takes roughly 50 mins to an hour because there is no traffic and it's all interstate. In a month, I'll work from home so no commute at all.

3 minutes past the time i had in my brain that i would be there by. I have had to work very hard to get to that point. and i have learned to tell my wife i want to be on the road 3 hours before i actually do so i dont have to push her down in the dirt and make fun of her.

This thread begs the question: do the "women" of ACF use a funnel to get that much sand in their vagina or do they just slide around the beach like an angry Roomba? -deadcactus-

long commutes suck, they are only marginally better if you are actually driving instead of sitting in gridlock.

I can see my work from my apartment. If it takes more than 30 minutes to get to work I'll start leaving earlier... 1 hour commute or more and I'd quit or move. Eff that.

45-50 minutes for me most days
2nd shift is fine here (DC area) but they'd have to throw lots of money at me to get me to go to 1st shift where my drive home varied from 1.5-3 hours
for you locals, i drive from Centreville, VA to Germantown, MD so 66-495-270

Depends. I'm much more likely to get angry about a long commute that is caused by people being retarded when merging or rubbernecking as opposed to a long commute caused by an accident on my side of the freeway. An exception would be an accident caused by severe incompetence, like when I was stuck in traffic for four hours because someone very obviously wasn't paying attention and wrecked her car by hitting something stationary. I gave that bitches corpse the finger.

For a couple of years I had a commute that ranged from 40 min on a good day to 2 hours on a bad day...each way. That really sucked.
Now I take the subway to work. It still takes me around 40 min to get to work, but I'm on my iPhone the whole time, so I don't care so much.
Though this morning it took me two hours because there was a fire in a subway tunnel and I had to wait for an hour at JFK. I was going to take a shuttle bus, but there weren't any, and then they resumed subway service, so I just got back on the train and came in. At least it's a pleasant day, weather-wise.

I'm still about an 60 or 70 minutes most days to get to work.. Getting home usually just under an hour.
I knocked an hour minimum off both ways when I moved from NH.. but it's still not all that great of a commute. Next job is not going to be in the city.

Currently 10 minutes one way. Will go back to 25 once the house is finished in the summer. Over 30 mins would start to get annoying.

My commute to work is 2-3 minutes, depending on whether I hit the one stoplight or not.
Cannot relate.

45 minutes is my max commute time that I can stand, after that I get real edgy. Even during rush hour from where I live it never takes that long.
We have gnarly traffic going to other parts (westside) of the island though.
I knew all this before I bought a house which is why I am where I am.
Nowhere I go to on the island other than the North Shore and Makaha, takes more than 35 minutes to get to from my house on the windward side.
