People who work from home: do you ever forget rush hour traffic exists?
 

Holy moly helped my sister drop her car off today at a mechanics and HOLY FUCK! i live deep south and the freeway was backed up to DT.

i sometimes forget how i love working from home.

no wonder people live DT, you would have to wake up like 3 hours early for work! fuck that!

I got stuck in it yesterday and realized my AC wasn't working. It sucked.

Before my niece was born I had. But I had gotten caught it in a few times picking her up and dropping her off for daycare. I do not miss it at all.
:2 cents:

Yea, I don't know how people deal with that shit every day.

uh lala....

:(

HELL NO, i would go bonkers!

seriously now i am starting to understand why 99% of people walk around like they have a stick in their ass.

wakeup 3 hours early. get the brats ready for school. be stuck in traffic for 2 hours. go to some shitty 9-5. get off be stuck in traffic for 2 hours. pick up brats.

repeat.

thats what you get for a college degree mother fuckers. :1orglaugh

sometimes you can't avoid it, even if you work at home. Gotta drop off kids to the kindergarden and there you go, all stuck with moms doing the same thing.

ever heard of a fuckin school bus?

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

OH YES :thumbsup

I've done 20 000km's in 3.5 years with my car... I think I am forgetting how to drive ;-)

hell half the time on the weekend i just have someone pick me up.

Yea it sucks, it's summer time here now and the tourist are starting to visit the Island. This weekend is the start of it all. All winter it was a ghost town and I could leave the house and only see a couple locals that live here year round. We have a swing bridge that opens every hour to let all the boats through as well. So I make sure if I do leave its 10 after the hour and never on the hour. I make sure on Wednesday I have everything I need for the week so I don’t have to go out again. I just sit and people watch all weekend. Summer time is so awesome!

lol, sucks when ya forget its sunday and all stores are closed (in germany) lol

hahahha, so true. Enjoy your rat race and your fucked up life stupid sheeps.

Montreal as install a pick up bike system called Bixi.com I am a proud member and love using the bikes to go around the city :thumbsup

omg you are a granola! :helpme

LOL Great question. I vaguely remember rush hour traffic from back when I was living in Clearwater FL, but here in the town I live in 'Rush Hour' means you have 4 or 5 cars stopped at the stop sign ahead of you.....you have to actual go to the outskirts of the city limits to find a traffic light hahaha

Very good question, ages ago I lived in Wash DC area and I could spend 10-15% of each workday in traffic. Hell now I seldom ever wait for more than one cycle of a traffic light.

How far is the local elementary school?

it's one of the perks of working from home for sure, I can't even imagine being stuck in traffic for 3 hours per day every single day...

Most people literally spend years of their lives sitting in traffic. That's just the world we live in.

I can never forget. Sitting in Bay Area traffic for 2 hours to go 12 miles to work.... that shit is burned into my brain.

Yeah traffic across the Howard Franklin is HORRIBLE during rush hour!! I avoid it at all costs!

I lived on the bay side of hwy 19, that traffic was incredibly horrible... Florida is not worth that kind of traffic heh heh

seen that type of thing in Europe, what's it cost ?

Pshhh try living out here by Chicago. It's not rush hour anymore, it's rush 4 hours, from 5-9am and 3-7pm.

Yeah I always end up leaving the house at the wrong time of the day... I've never been the kind of person to get annoyed with traffic though, as long as I've got music I'm good.

No, haven't forgotten it's existance. I'm mindful of it, and will usually head out to do errands, visiting, etc, before or after rush hour.

On rare times I do get caught in it I'm completely with you on the thinking though. I don't miss it at all and have a hard time coming to grips with just how much time people burn up going to and from work every day, year after year after year.

I've been free of it actually for about 20 years now. Long enough that I no longer laugh at all the poor schmucks out there crawling home bumper to bumper.

I still have to fight rush hour traffic here at home. I have to make sure I'm up before the morning rush to the bathroom.

Closest I got to the peak hour job crawl was when my daughter was born and I went into the hospital early each morning to help my wife. The freeway got congested closer to the city and the offramp I had to take was often queued back down to the freeway. Can't imagine doing that shit day in, day out...

some of us have to drive to the office :)

So glad I live here in a village. Even in the city, Brno, traffic jams are small compared to London.

Traffic is a pain in the ass it is "rush hour" EVERY day in Vegas.. I sleep in the day time but, when and if I go out I hate every sec of it......

love working close to home :)

Almost, but never really because my current apartment is right on a busy intersection. I'm moving this week though. Should help me forget, haaaa!

I forgot sunlight exists, go outside and I'm squinting and shit.

In approximately 3.5km. Too long to walk the kid. Too shirt to ride the bus. And we don't have school buses in the city.

i think about it almost every morning and i feel guilty as shit :1orglaugh

my dad did it, and he liked it, up at 7, commute downtown from the burbs, get home at 7, dinner, some television, sometime more work, would watch the Tonight Show and then to bed, 5 days a week for 30 years. i couldn't do it, if i had to i'd just move closer to wherever the job was even if it meant living in a shittier place.

i know tons of people who to afford a nice home move way out in the suburbs and have two hour commutes in and out. madness.

Hate it,that's why I live 4 minutes away from work

i dont miss that shit at all! when i worked for other companies i always moved close to them so i didnt have to deal with traffic
