My cousin couldn't understand how I bought groceries after I sold my car. After telling him I walked three blocks to the store he asked how I bought groceries in winter. I told him I put on a coat and boots and walk three blocks to the store.

One of my carless kin! There are dozens of us!! The number of times people have assumed I can't go somewhere "because it's raining" and I'm just like, I have a jacket and an umbrella! But what if you're biking?? Um, I have a jacket, a backpack cover and leggings and sometimes... if I'm just heading home to a hot shower and a change of clothes, I just get soaking wet! Like absolutely sodden! NBD! And if I'm heading somewhere without the option of a change of clothes, I bus there and that leads to a whole other issue of "But that must take ssooo long!?!" Yeah sure, a bit longer, but I can relax, pop on some headphones, set google maps to tell me when I'm near my stop, watch/listen to something and let the driver worry about the driving!
