Just now staring at the mempool, it felt like taking a number at a busy bubble tea shop during peak hours... You think placing an order means you're safe, but actually you're being pushed around in the queue. The most annoying thing during congestion: my transaction first shows as "pending," then maybe gets front-run, stuck, or even has to wait until the price changes significantly before it's your turn. Slippage hits hard, and the mood instantly turns sour.
