At my spouse's last job they would drive just over half a mile to work each day, complain about traffic and all the dents and dings the car was getting over time, and nothing I did could convince them to walk. Blows my mind
They never even tried the 10 minute walk??
They did a couple times and hated it said the walk hurt their hips, but also they go like hiking and stuff 🤷♀️ Anyway we're getting a divorce soon
I wouldnt blame anyone for choosing not to walk next to a busy and dangerous road. If they hike then they must not have an issue with the exercise, but likely with the noisy and unpleasant environment. Many areas ive lived in either have no sidewalk or a tiny one right next to 50mph cars.
I get that but I wouldn't be bringing up this example if I thought there was something like that going on. Honestly wish there was something redeemable here but it was a medium traffic two lane road (could be high traffic during rush hours but the lights everywhere kept traffic to like 5-10mph), sidewalks, bike lanes, and half of it you can take a one block detour to go through a no traffic college campus. The divorce part wasn't a joke we have some ideological differences that weren't as apparent when we were younger, like this, forming like a broad "yeah we should find better matching people" feel
Cars make people entitled.
