Who here has the worst commute to work?

<<commute about 25 feet. Sometimes theres a cat rollover that makes me detour, but its usually traffic free>>

Heee, Heeee, Heee

About the same for me now but when I was in the service some of the Missile site were up to 150mi by semi truck one way. Try doing that, being on site 24-36 hours and then driving back. Oh Yeah, crew rest, right. If you were there you know what I mean. 😀

It's only about 14 miles roundtrip for me, but it takes 20 minutes each way. It can be quite annoying when you have to sit in traffic, and you know you can run home faster when it's gridlocked. It took me 90 minutes to get home one evening -- for 7 miles. :|

The worst commute I've ever heard of was my father's when we were still living in New Jersey. He worked in Scarsdale, NY, and commuted into and then OUT of NYC -- minimum 2 hours each way. I really don't know how he did that for a couple years.

Now, the worst I know is my father-in-law's who lives in Springfield, VA, and works at Bolling Air Force Base. It takes about 1 to 1.5 hours each way, I believe. Washington area traffic is terrible (not that Atlanta traffic is a walk in the park though).

I commute 50 miles to and 50 miles form work each day. I have only had my truck for 1 year now and it already has 33K miles on it.

working from home is sweet and I love it. However sometimes I miss 30 mile commutes in a fast car with some good music. Now I never drive my sports car so I sold it, and suddenly find myself driving an SUV around town. 🙁 There are advantages to long commutes

~25 mile drive to a Tektronix parking lot, wait in the rain/cold/whateveritistoday for the company shuttle to come, that takes me directly to work (another ~10 minutes). Parking where I work sucks. They park three cars in the space designed for two, they will literally tow your car if you don't pull far enough into your parking spot to allow someone in behind you, &amp; you have to have three permits in your window.

But... They just made a new rule - No vehicles over 16 feet in the on-site parking. That should make thing easier.

My commute is only about a half hour, but there was a story not too long ago in the local St. Louis paper called &quot;Longest Commute&quot; or similar...and the winner lived almost down at the Arkansas border and drove into st. louis EVERY DAY! That cat spent 3.5hours+ ONE WAY to work. When asked why he did it he said something like he liked the &quot;clean country living&quot; and he had no complaints about it...

Amazing what some people can put up with!

I can get to work in 4 minutes if traffic is not heavy, 6 if people are driving stupid.

 

[BigToque]

I have to walk 20 miles in the snow, uphill, in my grandfathers pajamas.

 

[JaiKnight]

I know somebody that takes a bus for 3 hours to work, and then another 3 back home, good things it's only on saturdays...

 

[Total Refected Power]

I do. I have control myself enough not to run over the idiot pedestrians here.

 

[Panakk]

drive about 50 miles to work.... luckily i only work twice or thrice a week... takes me about an hou.. sux when it snows..

 

[reitz]

Definitely me. I work a full 20 city blocks away from home. That 7 minute commute is just horrible 😛 It's even worse in heavy traffic; sometimes it takes us almost 12 minutes to get to work.

It's a 90 mile round-trip commute from my house to work. A majority of that is on the interstate, but 20 or so of those miles are under construction... to get ready for the 2002 Winter Olympics. Since my shift requires that I attempt that drive during both rush hours, it takes a good hour to get to and from work. I won't even mention how many miles I've put on my truck! :|
