You might’ve heard about the viral girl math or boy math trend on TikTok. For example, if I paid for a trip six months ago, then when I go on the trip, it’s free now. Girl math.
So we asked Atlantans to give us their best example of “Atlanta Math,” and here’s what you all came up with! Grab some popcorn and be prepared to laugh out loud.
Here are your answers!
- If the speed limit is 45… that means drive 17mph, unless someone tries to merge in front of you… then go 65 🤷🏾♀️
- If there’s a braves game…. Whatever you needed to do in Marietta, just do it tomorrow.
- Rush hour is anywhere between 7AM & 7PM. But take your time because nobody is in a rush to go anywhere.
- If your gps says it takes 20 minutes to get there… round that to an hour.
- You have to pay atleast $50 to park at the restaurant you’re about to spend $300+ at to eat…. To not hear a single word your date said all night and leave half deaf.
- Working from home means you save 1.5 hours of travel time at least for other things that are not work related. 🔥
- So no one in Atlanta seems to work but still rich af.
-
The Atlanta airport- Flight at 10 am? Please arrive as soon as the doors open to barely make it to your plane on time.

- Atlanta math is my GPS saying it takes 30 minutes to get to Atlanta and it takes 1hr 30 minutes
- If it’s a 4 mile trip on the connector, travel time comes out to be 99 minutes. Atlanta math….add 45 minutes onto every drive.
- It’s 4 miles away, but it’ll take you an hour to get there
- Kia + atlanta = hope no one stole your car while you were sleeping 😭
- By the time they get done widening the road (min 5 year project), it’s time to rewiden it.
- If you paid for 1 hr parking you better be back 15 min early so they don’t boot your car
Shutterstock - Atlanta math is knowing you have to get out of the HOV lane for the exit that’s coming up, but waiting until you almost pass it to cross all the lanes through traffic while everyone is doing 95-100 and just missing the guard rail.
- Knowing where to park free for 2 hours but looking to make sure it’s s still free & no one added their own cash app code
- If time = money, then the hour you saved by not sitting in Atlanta traffic basically covers the drinks you just had delivered from ATL Booze 🍷
- I’m sure it’s been said already, but whatever the speed limit? Add 20-30 mph.
- I’m in the left lane so of course you’re allowed to swing around in front of me to take that turn out of literally nowhere.
- speed limit on the beltline is 55mph
Atlanta Beltline - If the car wash comes with hookah it’s free
- the city building new streets you can never drive on
- ask for extra sauce you’ll get none
- Rent going up 300 dollars when it’s time to renew your lease. (No renovations added)
- Atlanta math is 5000 people in the airport security line but somehow it only took 20 minutes
- You don’t have a reservation and the wait for a table is “about an hour right now” but you’re seated and ordering in 15 min
- My car was broken into but they didn’t take the MacBook.
- an airport that’s been “under construction” since it was built
- You miss an exit, just accept the added 20 mins and 5 miles added to your route.
Shutterstock - The limit does exist. You can only have your brunch reservation for 2 hours.
- there’s bumper to bumper traffic in your driveway going to check the mail
- Atlanta is 30 minutes from Atlanta.
- If I’m in the left lane, I can make it across to the exit before exit 247.
- Atlanta airport…lets make u walk a 5k
- Inna + min = a while from now
- Knowing that todays total at Waffle House will not be tomorrow’s
Waffle House - Opening more brunch spots is beneficial to the city
- Driving three blocks on Moreland ave can crack three rims
