    Countless hours I've wasted over the years commuting. Not anymore, just downloaded an Italian and Spanish learning app.

    I'll learn Spanish on the way to work and Italian on the way home.

    You might be better off learning German Mandarin.

    My problem is that reading/viweing stuff while commuting just gives me a headache.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,163 ✭✭✭✭danniemcq


    audiobooks ftw!

    my commute time is sitting on the bus having some chill out time between rushing around leaving the house, and working
    and winding down in the evening
    sometimes i listen to my audiobook of "Das fehlende Glied in der Kette" but mostly music

    I Like to read 50 shades of grey on the luas with a really pervy face...

    Video games are productive. They are proven to increase mental health and memory in old age.

    Im not old yet, but Im getting there, one day at a time...

    I like to go round asking my fellow passengers for spare change. Sometimes make more from this than actually working.

    Multo autem ad rem magis pertinet quallis tibi vide aris quam allis

    Be careful, talking photographs of schoolgirls will get you into trouble one of these days.

    Someone once asked me if I had spare tenner...

    Another time a woman sneezed and an elderly lady offered her a tissue, then proceeded to offer one to the entire luas...one person at a time.

    I like to spend my commute time complaining on Twitter about the other passengers


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,060 ✭✭✭✭biko


    I get a quick nap, can be a bit scary at times though.
    Almost hit another car last week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,808 ✭✭✭FatherLen


    i sleep.

    only the other day i missed my stop on the luas by about 4 stops because i was out cold.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,167 ✭✭✭yeppydeppy


    I've recently been listening to science books - Carl Sagan and the like.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,641 ✭✭✭Hardonraging

    My commute time has been reduced from 4 hours roundtrip to 40 minutes...but in the past I read, listened to music and watched movies on my media player. Hardly productive but sure it filled the time.

    Back doing that commute next week for a few days, but I'll spend the time studying for a certification that I'm pursuing.

    I cut my nails and/or fill in bank lodgments as I ride into town on my bike.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,628 ✭✭✭Truley


    I cycle to work so I'm getting fresh air/exercise and commuting at the same time - win!

    I'll learn Spanish on the way to work and Italian on the way home.

    That could end up quite confusing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,681 ✭✭✭bodice ripper


    I emigrated to Holland. My commute is an empty train, tulips and Pink Floyd.

    there is no point trying to improve on that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,879 ✭✭✭Coriolanus


    I sleep.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,245 ✭✭✭✭B.A._Baracus

    Nah, I was sleeping on a flight a few weeks ago and jolted awake and grabbed the leg of the random woman beside me!

    I take the train and usually doze off of an evening...this is quickly interrupted when I slam my head against the window but I'm so tired this continues over and over!!....I avoid the aisle seat for obvious reasons
