    My wife occasionally agrees to meet people if they live on the other side of the county and it’s going to take them an hour to get to our house.

    Usually people just come and pick up their items. We live suburbia though so maybe they feel “safer.”

      Every now and again I’m reminded just how small some countries are, I drive 45min to work every day and I’m only one town over, meanwhile in 15 more minutes you can be on “the other side” of a whole country?

      Meanwhile the trip across the US with no stops and traffic will take me 1d 19hr for 2,544 mi (4094.171 km) (according to openstreetmaps).

      Edit: LOL I can’t read. It’s still true I suppose just not in this case haha.
