Like you needed another excuse to leave work early. WTOP is reporting that commuters can look forward to one of the “worst rush hours of the year” today.

Apparently most people leave work early to take their tyke Trick-or-Treating and expect they are the only ones to have this idea. The solution? Traffic reporter Bob Marbourg recommends leaving between one or two o’clock to outsmart the masses.

So put down those TPS reports and get packing now. You can thank us later.
