I have a mind-numbing 0:05 second commute from my bedroom to home office, 12 long steps. Enough said.

Women on TTC (Toronto Transit) who look at me like I am going to attack them simply because I am larger than they are and with a mustache and possibly listening to "strange" electronic music...
The feeling that no one can trust one another because of so much anonymity...

Single Track tunnels in the NYC Subway.
If a train breaks, you sit and wait with no way to alert your office.At least on multi-track trains they can re-route and alternate trains.

At least you don't have to drive through road closures and tourists in the next two weeks.
OOOO

pushy people who have no concept of personal space.

On average 1 hour to commute from the sticks to downtown Detroit. Hate the drive but love the sticks. Totally worth it.

It takes me 15 minutes to get to work, and I barely have to go outside so I don't even wear a coat.

People insisting on gripping on to the hand rail for dear life even when the train has stopped causing me to have to limbo underneath their arm to get off the train.

gripe: when subway car fills up with loads of school kids or a huge tourist group while im heading to work. i need my quiet wake up commute like all the other commuters.
love: predicting which tourists will fall / stumble when the train starts.

Can you just make some drawings of people getting slammed into poles, stuck between closing doors, tripping while entering/exiting, flying into someone sitting down when the bus/subway stops, getting dragged by their large backpacks still on their back, etc. That'd be cool.

I have a 35 minute walk to the office. I could take TTC but, really, why would I *choose* to do that? Besides, it's the only exercise my lazy ass gets.

Morning traffic on Interstate 80. There's always traffic, it's just a question of how much. Could be the sun, or today there was a stalled bus on the shoulder. OH NO!
I pay $2 in tolls each day. Not a big deal, but I refuse to sign up for EZ-PASS and I use quarters to pay my tolls. So I need to constantly keep a supply of quarters.
And let's just face it, most people can drive just fine. It's not that hard of a task. But all it takes is one or two morons to fuck up a whole bunch of people's ride to work, which happens more times than not.
Saving graces are polarized sunglasses, fresh home brewed coffee, a well stocked iPod, and a very good morning radio show on 91.5 FM.

I drive 50 miles to school every day that I go, I'm there for almost 12 hours, then I have to drive 50 miles back. Through mountains too so it's really slow at parts. When there's fresh snow or ice it can take up to four hours to get there, but normally it's just an hour to an hour and a half.
- Also the morning sun when I leave is blinding, sometimes I have to put on my warning lights and do 5-10mph...ismith

16 miles each way on a bicycle because I'm trying to prove that I don't have to rely on a car. Although it is apparent you don't need a car to get to work, on the later nights (past 10) it would be awesome if my legs weren't the only thing getting me home. I'm finishing another motorcycle next week, I'll be riding that asap... The year of biking is over.

I have to get onto 2 outer-belts, 2 Interstates, and 1 US Highway (pretty much every freeway in the city) to get to and from work.
It can take as little as 35 minutes to as much as 2.5 hours.
