I rode with my friends to a mutual friends wedding. After waiting a bit during the reception we discussed leaving and the idea cane up of running downtown for a drink. From where we were, its like 10 minutes to downtown, but no we have to drive 40 minutes to their house to change before driving 30 minutes back downtown to have one drink and leave.

But how would it have been different if you were traveling via public transit? Or walking, or biking? You’d still have to go out of your way to get home. I suppose you could have split up, but then even if there wasn’t a bus from the reception to downtown, you could have taken your own uber.
I completely understand being frustrated by going out of your way. I just don’t know how it’s related to your mode of transport.
Its the car centric mindset of just jetting all over town for the fuck of it more or less. As I mentioned elsewhere, if we were ““going out”” I’d understand changing, but we had one drink and left (which was the plan from the jump.) we could have been on the way out of the bar by the time we left their house if we’d just gone there.
Yeah its equally dumb on a bus but most people on public transit wouldn’t do that because it IS silly for one drink.
