Poll: How long did I wait for a bus to arrive at the bus stop outside the grocery store?

Posted by ReluctantCynic (aka ReluctantCynic) Dec 24 '08, 18:23

Hint: The grocery store is 15 blocks from my house, and I waited 10-15 minutes at the stop one block away for a bus to the grocery store.

Bonus question: How did I get home?

My God. Given how long ago you posted that you were going to the grocery store, I'd say three horus. -- nm - Mop Dec 24, 18:52 2

You didn't. You're sitting in the bar next to the grocery store waiting for the bartender to get off work :) -- nm - NutMeg Dec 24, 18:46 1

1 hour, 15 minutes, then beat up a little girl and stole her ice skates then skated home, pulled by a snowmobile. - JaxSean Dec 24, 18:43 1
- You got the time right, actually. - ReluctantCynic Dec 24, 18:57
I have "hot policeman in K9 SUV picked you up and drove you home" for part 2. -- nm - hot hot heat loves mandy lane Dec 24, 18:34 5
- Good thinkin' (you are one smart cookie), but alas, no. - ReluctantCynic Dec 24, 18:38 4
  - Oh, and I'll give you partial credit for creativity. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Dec 24, 18:41 3
    - thanks. I imagined the cop as super, super hot, if that gets me extra credit. -- nm - hot hot heat loves mandy lane Dec 24, 18:47 1
      - I'll put it this way ... - ReluctantCynic Dec 24, 18:54

    - Little known fact: You can't really 'flag down' a taxi in Portland. That worked for me once in the 20 years I've lived in Oregon. - ReluctantCynic Dec 24, 18:55 7

      - In DC you can call and schedule a pickup, but that is no guarantee a car will ever show up. -- nm - loosilu in Kentucky Dec 24, 18:56
