So I'm on a journey to the north of Singapore to meet my wife who's attending a course there for dinner and I guess bored and annoyed enough to make a dumb blogpost
And yes, that is the kind of inefficient commutes that annoy me
So let A = me, B = wife, x = home, y = train station. z = training center
Let x -> y and y -> z have values of 30 to signify 30 minutes of travel time
So the round trip we're taking would be
A = ( x -> y , y - > z ) x 2 = 120 minutes
B = ( x -> y , y - > z ) x 2 = 120 minutes
240 minutes of commute
I suggested meeting at the train station instead since we could have dinner here anyway and we could get the groceries she wanted here too
Such a trip would take
A = ( x - y ) x 2 = 60 minutes
B = ( x -> y , y - > z ) x 2 = 120 minutes
180 minutes of commute
Long story short obviously she got pissy like every other ex-gf I've had in the same situation and I relented so I'm on a commute that's needlessly 33.3% longer for us in total and she just texted me that she might end later than the time she gave me
ok this post was the waste of time I needed on the train
3 more stops to go
Sorry for the neurodivergent blogpost

isn't singapore small? I kinda figured a 30-minute train ride would be from one end to the other.

it's 1.5 hours end to end and there are 31 stops which prolly adds ~1/2 hour if the train stops for a minute each time
