Problem
Sameet is driving on a major interstate highway on the way to work. The commute to work is 1 hour with normal traffic flow. It is 7:25 a.m., and there is an 8:00 a.m. meeting with the upper-management team. Sameet left the house at 7:05 and was feeling slightly anxious about being late. Fifteen minutes into the commute, the radio announcer says that traffic on the route is slowed down due to an accident. Sameet's heart rate increases and he curses at the radio. His stomach starts to churn as he worries about how the superiors at work will perceive Sameet for being late. Sameet's sweaty hands grip the steering wheel tighter and he begins to blame the traffic and bad drivers for the potential to be late for work. As Sameet exits the expressway, another vehicle cuts off Sameet's car and exits as well. The driver did not use a turn signal and did not acknowledge Sameet's car exiting. Sameet begins to yell obscenities at the driver. As Sameet pulls up next to the driver's vehicle, Sameet displays an obscene gesture to the other driver. During the rest of the commute to work, Sameet is angry, blaming the other driver, and self-doubting. Sameet has a headache, is feeling very moody, and is 15 minutes late for the meeting.
