I will take the most direct route I can to get to work. At the end of the day though, there's 3 routes I might take. None of them are quick or direct, but they are good stress relievers. Sometimes the best part of my day is driving home.

People scoff at my 45min drive. I say it keeps me sane (when this BS doesn’t happen)

45 mins is chump change for a commute. I don't get why some people get up in arms about anything over 35 minutes.

Yeah I did about 30min for years and when I moved out there my parents (both having sub 10min commutes their entire lives) freaked out. When I told them I was moving even further they just couldn’t understand it.

I work in Burlington and I can whole heartedly say that my mental health takes a dig living in like 90% of Chittenden county. I just can’t live in suburbia.

I feel that. I grew up in Eastern MA so my tolerance for traffic is probably higher than most, but I hate driving around Burlington at rush hour.
