This is a question First World Problems

Onemunki says: We live in a world of genuine tragedy, starvation and terror. So, after hearing stories of cruise line passengers complaining at the air conditioning breaking down, what stories of sheer single-minded self-pity get your goat?

Obvious Troll
Why is it these kind of "get rid of your car" posts are always so arrogant? Just 'cos your office job is at the end of a simple bus ride, it does not mean other people are the same. Like many here, I have a job that involves going to see my client at their premises. I never know what I will have to deal with when I arrive which means needing to carry spare kit in a car.

I live in a city which hates cars so am forced onto public transport at times. This is then a lot more expensive, always means a long walk to my client's house, and I can never carry enough of my kit so often get stuck doing multiple journeys.

Tomorrow my job is out in the countryside - miles away from trains and a most unbelievable complexity of multiple bus routes to get there which would mean it would take all day just to visit that one client, instead of the 30mins drive that it is going to be in my car.

Not every one works in an office. Grow up. Learn about other people before you preach at them.
