EC March 14th, 2018 5:20 PM

My dad before he retired had to go an hour each way to and from work. Woke up at 2AM, left at 4AM. Got back around 5:30-6PM.

Sheep March 14th, 2018 6:05 PM

yeah 45 minutes is ok, and even one hour isn't that bad @ EC.... for someone like me who commutes two hours, cutting that in half still sounds wonderful
but i can imagine that's tedious for a parent anyway, since they need to spend time with their family/kids =(

alisaie March 14th, 2018 6:11 PM

I have to run to the bank on weekdays when I work before o head home and I hate it because it sometimes adds up to an hour of my time. It's going to be even worse when they close the bank closest to my store @[email protected] teleporters when

Sawsbuck March 14th, 2018 6:14 PM

i wanna find a job stocking shelves because it's the only job I'd be good at but I've had no luck :(

not being able to get a job due to being useless sucks

Sheep March 14th, 2018 6:36 PM

that's not true at all honestly. i felt the same about myself for the longest time, but it was mostly because i was sheltered and inexperienced... when you actually go out and work, you'll realize you're a lot more capable than you think

Sawsbuck March 14th, 2018 6:41 PM

I can't test that though because nobody will hire me

Wicked3DS March 14th, 2018 7:20 PM

My commute is usually 30 minutes, but it's a road that is quite prone to traffic and at least one day a week that gets pushed to 45 minutes to get home. There's also a roundabout that floods a lot which really messes things up.

Taemin March 14th, 2018 10:56 PM

Flooded roundabout?? That sounds like a nightmare to deal with.

There's very few roundabouts here, and I'm thankful.

But I'm a little spoiled, I take a couple of neighborhood streets to and from work, and it's about 7 minutes with normal traffic.

My car isn't that great though, if I had to drive any further than 20 minutes to a job, I'd be concerned for it's safety. lol That kinda sucks, though, because if I could travel far to work, maybe I'd find some better jobs.

Sawsbuck March 15th, 2018 2:45 AM

I haven't seen a roundabout in like 5 or 6 years lol

blue March 15th, 2018 3:36 AM

there are so many roundabounts in my area, one of which is a terrible one that i need to use to get back home. people literally just drive aimlessly onto it without looking or giving way most of the time.

Ice March 15th, 2018 4:40 AM

My hometown is slowly phasing out traffic lights and just putting in roundabouts. Makes me dizzy just thinking about it.

Mariposa March 15th, 2018 5:32 AM

I really feel like I would rather deal with Traffic Lights than a roundabout.

alisaie March 15th, 2018 6:01 AM

Turnabouts make me nervous because I'm bad at gauging distance between me and an incoming car ahah.

EC March 15th, 2018 8:01 AM

Driving sucks. Bring on self driving cars, and fast, please.

Imagine your average cross country trip. Let's just do New York to LA. Gotta book a plane, gotta book a rental car, gotta book a hotel room.
Now imagine that trip with a self driving car. You only have to stop for gas and restroom breaks. You can just sleep in your car right through Nebraska.

Sothis March 15th, 2018 8:44 AM

we have roundabouts here, my mother always almost crashes into other cars going through them

blue March 15th, 2018 8:54 AM

one of the worst things about driving is dealing with people who don't indicate when they're turning or switching lanes.

I'd rather drive

Taemin March 15th, 2018 9:21 AM

I think it's awesome when you use your turn signal, and slow down with the proper amount of time before the turn, and some asshole behind you still wants to go 60 miles an hour and doesn't slow down for you. :D So you have to speed the turn so they don't hit you as they zoom past.

EC March 15th, 2018 9:56 AM

Fuck 'em. Let them hit you. They are in the wrong, not you. Then get out with a shotgun and dare them to talk shit.

Or when you put it on and slow at your turn and people still honk at you
they do that here, it's unnerving

they do it here, too, like BRUH I'M FOLLOW THE RULES OF THE ROAD thanks

alisaie March 15th, 2018 11:47 AM

Let's not forget the people who are honking at you to turn right when you're going to be going straight like 'cuse you I'm sorry I'm in this lane but straight is where I'm going sry!!

blue March 15th, 2018 1:17 PM

some people are just far too impatient. what's worst is when you get beeped for literally taking a second to notice the light has only just changed to green.
