I was talking to a friend and complaining that the nearest grocery store is 3km from me, he says that Europeans consider that a reasonable distance to the store and I’m just being lazy.
I don’t have a car, I don’t have a bike, and the bus only comes by every four hours. Am I being unreasonable for not wanting to carry groceries 3km in 30C weather, or is my friend full of shit? Neither of us have been to Europe.
Europeans aren’t a homogeneous blob - we’re individuals. There’s no universal consensus among us about what counts as a reasonable distance to the grocery store.
Good thing I’m soliciting a range of opinions instead of just believing my friend then, right?
It’s your friend’s claim I’m criticizing - not yours.
Don’t mind me, I’m just looking for stuff to shove in his face later, because I’m kinda irritated by his claim too, lol.
