How is "the car" Georgia's most common missed connection? Hitchhikers? I can't think of anything else.
Atlanta traffic.

Atlanta traffic.
Is that seriously it? Like people looking out the window? I spent 4 years in LA traffic and have never heard of that. It's definitely plausible though, now that I think of it.

Lived there for a decade, and recall a time that we literally turned off our cars and met random people in the jam. I think it was during the trend of people jumping off of overpasses. There's also the random attractive person that cuts you off, flips the bird, etc. you just can't get out of your mind.

And "at home" in Indiana?

#17Pennsylvania's "convenience store" label should just say Wawa. That's half the missed connections posts in Philadelphia.

#18Next, we should see a map with the worst traffic. Who funds these studies? Are they really necessary? Especially with the bias towards craigslist users?
Re: The Saddest Map In America
#19Why is this sad? Because Walmart is the most cited location? Seems great to me. People are reaching out. Would be more depressing if they just decided to not do anything about it. Plus this only has relevance to craigslist users. Seems like a fun conversation piece but certainly isn't the anything-est anything in America.
I think the sad refers to people how tried to find someone through craigslist.

#20What I don't get is the states where it's at a bar. I can understand how it's weird to talk to people in some of those other places but a bar is an explicitly social environment. If people didn't want to talk to others, they'd be drinking at home for far less money. As cliche as it is, "hey, can I buy you a drink" still works as an ice breaker.
