Ok.. So today. A trip that normally takes me 31 minutes to make, ...
No. I said nothing. I'm not stupid or crazy. I was confused. My point wasn't that. I guess, I posted to see what people think happened. I think I got your tone, which is appreciated... But I don't need advice or condescending judgement. This is a conspiracy forum.. So being open minded is expected.. Maybe you have a role in being sarcastic, but it didn't help further the discussion

I'll bet that if you leave your house ten minutes earlier than you normally do every day, you'll never be late again.
Is that the excuse you gave your boss? Time warp? If so, I'll buy you another one:

'Time' does not exist 'out there', there is no 'out there'.
'Time' (and 'life' and 'death') exists in/as thought. It is a mirage.
But, relevant to this discussion is each person's unique relationship, from moment to moment, with the 'time' and 'space' perceived.
There is no steady stream of moments making 'time'.
A moment is 'timeless'.
No matter how many you string together, the result always = 0!
Timeless.
So, like a daydream, you have a unique relationship with what you perceive as 'time'.
Thus centuries can seem to flash by instantaneously, or millennia, or a second can seem like millennia!
I've gotten good at finding where the 'ends curl around', bypassing the long trip from one end of the 'continuum' to the other, like a wormhole.
So, if you pay attention, you'll find all sorts of interesting things about the stuff of thoughts ('time', for instance) and, ultimately, 'self'. *__-
That's it! Exactly

Had a really odd thing yesterday 25th. Time stopped totally.
Dropped my youngest to school at 8.15 drived to coffee shops with my oldest, parked and walked a block with her. Waited in line, ordered the breakfast, took our time to chit chat while eating it, went for a cigarette, came back - it was 8.35 - and not 9.35 as I expected.
There is no way in this universe I can even drive, park and walk to that restaurant in 20 minutes, let alone the time for the rest.
It was really a wow effect when we both realised what just happened.

the segments are broken down so that I can gauge my commute. I'm not in jeopardy of losing my job because I have long commute and I am necessary to the business. I just have to check in when I'm close if I'm running late. The thing was, no traffic, no issues at all yet I feel like I was driving in mud... ( that feeling sometimes you get when you feel like you can't run or swim faster even though you want to). The thing is, because I have a lead foot so to speak.. I am trying to not speed or get tickets. I drive on cruise control at the same speed every day every time. Each segment is open road, but has different speed limits. So I adjust my cruise control accordingly. If you go 5 miles at a constant speed of 55 miles per hour without braking. One day should not take you 8 minutes and the next day 12. Nothing caused me to take more time.. Even by a minute or two... The rate and distance didn't change.. So a couple of seconds.. Maybe.. Minutes.. Sorry not buying it. I'm not saying I think I was in a warp or in a matrix malfunction. I am saying it was strange. I love the feedback and discussion.. Thats what this forum should be. Also... I don't commute at normal times.. I'm in restaurant business. So it was awake already for 3 hours before I left for work

I know exactly what you are trying to get at. I drive at night for work and I am very conscience of the time. My job is very redundant so one of my entertainments is how fast or slow I'm doing the job each night.
I have a spot that usually takes me between 5 and 6 minutes an have gone the distance in two, and I have gone the distance that should have been lass than thirty seconds take me three minutes.
So yes, I do get your feeling of disorientation.
