instead of driving the carpool straight to work, I take an unexpected left turn, go for a few miles, pull a u turn and come back the same way. my carpool mates ask why, laughing I tell them that from space our route now looks like a dick

Taking the back roads so I can drive past the Good Sheetz. Not that I will stop, I am but a mere peasant and the mighty Good Sheetz need not be sullied by my presence. I just want to know what I am missing when I shuffle into the Get-Go by work to get my morning energy drink(s). Dare I tempt fate by using the drive-thru? No, not today. One day, I hope, I will be worthy.

the officer seems unconvinced by my arguments that strapping a jet engine to a razor scooter was technically legal because I didn't intend to enter controlled airspace

If my calculations are correct, this catapult should land me directly in the middle of the river closest to my job. From there it is only a short swim of a commute, not bad at all. Sure, sometimes the current pulls me a mile or so downriver from where I land, but that is nothing compared to traffic.

I've tried different modes of transport, I've tried different routes, it all got boring. now I'm doing different destinations. each morning I commute to a different office building, randomly selected, find an empty desk and start working. I've generally found my co-workers to be extra nice to me because they feel bad about not remembering exactly who I am. except that one middle manager who gave me a lovely performance review and talked about how the quality of my work had been deteriorating, despite the fact that I'd never seen him or been in that office building before that day.

"just so you know," I tell my fellow carpoolers after each of them has taken a sip from their coffee, "one of your pumpkin spice lattes has some extra 'spice' in it, by which I mean a large dose of lsd. joe, since you're driving, I suggest you get a move on in case it was yours."

I like this

variation: strip commute - take off one piece of clothing every time you stop

no getting re-dressed once you arrive @ work

instead of walking to work, choosing instead to travel at very high speeds through a sterile grey hellscape full of deadly high speed obstacles, just to put a little excitement back in my life

Going to try taking the bus. What could go wrong? I only have to get up 3 hours earlier so I can get one bus in to the city, then walk 4 blocks to get another bus back out of the city to get where I am going. Think of all the colorful characters I will meet!

Turning on the air conditioner to high and announcing to everyone in the carpool I just flipped on autonomous drive and put my hands behind my head confidently :smuggo:
