    Tried it once. Sucked. Just like your picture. lol! j/k. Nice humor.

    You can save gas money for sure by car pooling. But it is a pain in the ass when you are riding with someone who does not know how to drive well, is late, too early and wants to make stops on the way home, which wastes your time.

    aaaaand that's a wrap. I have only ever carpooled with someone I lived with who worked where I worked.
    The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

    No, never would either. I also thought this was something they did last century?

    Yeah if going with my wife counts. Her office building is along the way to mine, maybe 1 1/2 miles apart. Super convenient

    No I don't car-pool, it takes less than 10 minutes with a bicycle - and the weather isn't hot enough for a real car-pool:

    No. I'm like two miles from work and none of my coworkers live near me.
    Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.

    Just, be kind.

    Wish I could say yes. My 30 mile drive sucks ass all alone. Unfortunately I am the only employee that lives in the South Loop of Chicago. There is no one to carpool with

    No one that lives around me works around where I work. Wouldnt make to much sense.

    I WFH 99% of the time so no. I've car pooled in the past, and absolutely hated it. No thanks.

    11 years ago I had a 49km way to drive every morning and back afternoon to my college. Had various people I picked up that time.

    Hah! No... I work from home. My office is 20 feet from my bedroom. Does having coffee in the kitchen with my wife in the morning count?

    30 Miles doesn't seem too bad, but year living outside the range of most makes carpooling more than a challenge. Unless you specifically agree to it at a place of work.

    Not work, but my niece with the neighbour's kid for school... alternating between being picked up and dropped off.

    Nope, well, I take the wife to school but not co-workers.
    FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..
