Reminded of the “Kurt Vonnegut goes to buy an envelope” quote. One of the best expressions of the joys of careful and deliberate inefficiency I’ve read.

Posted as image because the alt text has a higher character limit than a toot so I can paste the whole text as actual text there. Weird huh.

@aegir Being a Hoosier myself, this is a Midwest phenomenon called "principled suffering". For example, my employer charges employees to park their car for work, so I'll ride my bike in, 4 miles each way, because I'd rather be sweaty in the office than pay for parking to go to work. Whether or not I can afford the parking permits is entirely irrelevant.

"... my employer charges employees to park their car for work..."

That is just so wrong.
