3rd time? i think the grasshopper has a montly pass

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago

40 minutes is freaking long enough. That's twice a day.

[-] Tippon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 day ago

Plus, Anon is already on the bus. They could have been on the bus for an hour before the grasshopper got on.

[-] Peck@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

It's not about how long it is. It's about how unpleasant and dangerous it is to walk around 90% of America.

It's about how unpleasant and dangerous it is to walk around 90% of America.

Imagine actually believing this though. Just huddled inside scared of the world. Sounding like a MAGAt.

[-] Peck@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Lol what? Actually it just so happens that I am walking/biking a lot, but only because I currently have safe routes available to me. I've chosen my location very carefully with this requirement in mind. Until recently though I have lived in your average American town where you wouldn't catch me walking unless there's was no other option. Insults out of the cars alone would deter most people, but being in constant danger of being run over is where I draw the line.

What does your "Average American Town" look like in your mind?

What's the population like?

Is it Rural, suburban, urban?

I'm only curious because I've lived all over and to say you felt unsafe in 90% of it makes me think it's a you problem and not a problem with "Average American Town" or you're just talking out of your ass.

Nah I do a 40 minute walk home after work it ain't that bad

[-] spookex@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I used to start the day with about a 30min walk to work and end it with a 1h20min walk back from uni at the end of the day. Would end up with about 10km a day for about 2 months.

You kinda get used to it, but I still prefer to ride my motorcycle since it now takes like 25min in total.

[-] 11111one11111@lemmy.world 62 points 1 day ago

A 40 min walk isn't a terribly long walk but if it's after an 8 or 10 hr shift, then it's not exactly an enjoyable stroll lol

[-] Phen@lemmy.eco.br 7 points 1 day ago

Plus that's not the total distance, the bus drove for a while before they got off.

[-] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 9 points 1 day ago

my bus only went as far as that, it is bearable for me, especially because I can get some milkshakes to drink my way back.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 4 points 1 day ago

I'd get a Brompton or a scooter.

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

I used to ride 20 minutes going downhill to work for my night shift, do my 12h shift, go to the gym, go back home 25 minutes going uphill

Sleep like a baby you say? Damn right!

[-] Donkter@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

third time? Wtf is he riding on, the route that stops at the wheat fields?

[-] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

bus

ticket inspector

Are they talking about the driver or does their bus have someone punching tickets like a train?

[-] iamtherealwalrus@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Not sure what country OP is in, but here in Copenhagen, Denmark they have ticket inspectors boarding busses at seemingly random stops, validating everyone's tickets, and then leave the bus again. Because you can enter the bus through any door now, so you can easily avoid purchasing a ticket.

[-] drbluefall@toast.ooo 3 points 1 day ago

In New York City you get inspectors boarding busses doing similar, at least when Select Bus Service routes were being rolled out

[-] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

USA, so my familiarity with functional public transport is shakey at best.

[-] bus_factor@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

Sometimes buses will have random checks, where a guy comes on and verifies everyone's tickets. Unlike on a train, it doesn't happen every time, or particularly often for that matter.

[-] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 1 day ago

Is this a post about racism

[-] kwedd@feddit.nl 14 points 1 day ago

Should've stayed on the bus. Never let them know their disguise doesn't work on you. Now they might be coming after anon.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
