"If you're this comically sensitive to sound, you have zero business living in a city."
Cities aren't loud, cars are loud. Anyway, it's not the noise that bothers me, it's the driver entitlement.

Kind of.
.box { width: calc(100% - 20px); }
In this example, 100% refers to the width of the containing block of .box, which is likely its nearest block-level ancestor.
