Two guys standing at the pump at a Shell gas station. The guy at pump 2 holds up the gas pump nozzle to his ear and tells the guy at pump 1 “Apparently, if you hold a Shell pump to your ear you can hear the shareholders laughing at you”.

    Why would you buy a house 100 miles away from your job in the first place? / Why would you get a job 100 miles away from where you live?

    And if you did do that, then just don’t complain your commute is long? Like I’m not saying you’re not allowed to do that or it makes you a bad person or some shit, just don’t complain about how long your commute is.

      You buy a house where you work, you don’t work there anymore and it’s not a small cost to move.

        Again, why get a new job 100 miles away in that case?

        And if you have a reason to do so. Just don’t complain your commute takes you 3 hours.

          Because not every career path has parody at every street corner. No, still complain. The issue is public transit, long commutes are extremely common even in European nations with a bit more mobility the difference is in most European countries you have fast affordable transportation. Japan 100mi is a bullet trip that’s much less than an hour, same with most of Europe. 10mi on my local public transit is $5 and over an hour.
