    I do love the looks of bus drivers when you get on with a load of crap in your hands.

    One time, I had to fetch two larger packages from the post office, so when I got onto the bus, I really had to aim to fit through the door and also prop up my ticket in my right hand, so I could still hold the packages with both hands. And the bus driver just looked at me like “ehm… okay… I guess, we doin package delivery then”.

    Another time, I went shopping in the next city over and after half an hour, I got back onto the bus with four packed shopping bags and saw that it was the same bus driver who brought me into the city. And he clearly saw that I had just been shopping and nothing else, so he gave me a look of “well, that’s convenient, that you’ve got your personal chauffeur”. 🙃

      It’s a common conversation though. I live in a big city and people who live in rural areas say this to me all the time. I just shrug my shoulders and say, “ya, good, live where makes you happy.”

        I totally believe the part about people commenting “I could never live in X place” unprompted and I’m all for people living wherever makes them happy!

        It’s the rest of the post that reads like someone trying to think of a clever comeback in their shower hours after the conversation already ended.

    I could never live in NYC… the homelessness problem is too widespread in pretty much all of US cities.
