sometimes they close the entire bus stop for a couple of months. they put a lot of traffic cones a couple of blocks surrounding the bus stop.

sometimes the bus comes late or doesn't come at all.

some bus drivers have the nerve to bark @ me.

For me it is most tedious when I have two or more flights to my destination. Things can go wrong on the transfer airport. Flight delays can cause problems and break connection with the next flight.

Too many people and I have to go to a different terminal. That happened to me. I missed the flight from Moscow to Amsterdam, so I couldn't go by train from Amsterdam to home. While I was yet in Moscow, I had to book a hotel in Amsterdam, and continue my voyage home the next day. I had luck that that hotel had rooms left.

Direct flights are never a problem. They happen smoothly.

I always felt most comfortable on the bus or train when it was practically empty. But the more people that got on, the more stressed I'd get. And I always made sure to have my music on me to help keep me grounded. In that sense I'm definitely glad I have my own car now.

I have my own car, too. Sometimes I have insane car vacations. Since August 2020 I drove a lot. A real lot! I sometimes drive more than 2300 miles in about 12 or 13 days. I will get bored in a train or in a tourist couch (during an organized trip), but not when I drive myself. I have been in various foreign capitals. After two months I will go to London and drive there... in left hand traffic (I have already been in Liverpool en Edinburgh, I am not new to left hand traffic, I have driven 650 miles in the UK before!). Tower Bridge... Abbey Road, where The Beatles have been...

Ooh that sounds fun! I love to drive so sometimes I'll just go out out for a drive with no particular destination. I haven't gone too far in my own car since gas costs so much, but I've been on some road trips. I love going cross country on road trips, it's always been fun. :D

The bus and train rides to and from work seem to take too much time money and energy

Almost falling asleep on the way to work and back

Could transfer to a store closer to my house but ASM Javier works there now

(Rolls eyes)

The store two miles from my house has a litterbox lock and day laborers

They make me wanna puke
