I nearly exclusively read in public transport. My partner and I used to take the same bus to work. As soon as we sat down he got his earbuds to listen to a podcast and me reading a book. Lovingly ignoring each other ❤️
When I am in public transport and forgot to bring my book, I feel pretty bored.
Ugh. The worst part of aging for me has been the farsightedness. Been nearsighted my whole life and that has been a big deal but with the farsightedness I can read but not as non chalantly or as comfortably as before. Really wrecks this kind of thing. Reading or suduko is definately the best thing to do on public transit with maybe a bit of music.
Maybe, but it would have been nicer to just be there already. If I want to read I can do that on my couch - or I have the option of doing something else in that time. There is no benefit to being on transit, the purpose is to be there.
If I'm forced to do something it should be to exercise, which I can't do on transit.
I wish I could do this but motion sickness go brrrrrrr
Brrr isn't the sound I make when I get motion sickness, but I echo the general sentiment. It also lasts a long time for me so I'm useless for about an hour or two.
You’ll hopefully forgive me for speaking in stupid meme language.
I’m in a similar boat, the motion sickness takes me out for a good couple hours. Have you found anything helpful? The only thing that sometimes helps is food, but this is far from a perfect fix - The nausea makes it hard for me to make myself eat.
There is absolutely nothing to forgive, I was trying to suggest that the sound I make is the sound of vomitting without explicitly using the word.
I've not found anything that lessens its severity, once it happens there's little I can do but lie down. In my case lying face down makes me feels better, but I still won't be able to do anything for a while. Not riding vehicles on an empty stomach sometimes reduces the chances of it happening but if it happens it's as bad as always.
