An American trolled Europeans with the length of his commute and the whole of Europe responded as one
If there’s one thing you can say about many (most?) Americans, it’s that they don’t ‘arf like thinking they do things bigger and better than basically everyone else.
Take @bankertobuilder who took to Twitter to troll Europeans with the size of … his commute.
The European mind can't comprehend this daily commute pic.twitter.com/rIvg5WW19m

You’ve certainly got a big one there, Mr Builder! And it’s fair to say it didn’t go unnoticed by the good people of Europe, a large number of whom replied in unison. Well, kind of.

I don't know why you are flexing a 7 hour commute to work and back.
Think you've been brainwashed.

My employer reimburses for mileage so it’s basically passive income

The European mind would move close to that destination to save that waste of life commute.

Europeans think 100 miles is far and Americans think 100 year is old , those are my 2 favorite cultural differences 😆

I think you Americans can’t comprehend having a train that does this distance in half the time

If you watch the movie of your life, you will be fast-forwarding seven hours every day. Perhaps then you will realize something. I don’t know; I am European.

To conclude …
Why would it be a flex to commute for 7 hours day 😭😭 https://t.co/EC9OkKVrFC
