Tbh I’m not sure I believe the first story that’s about 8 hours of walking and that lady is ancient.

The horror being that her friends and complete strangers all chipped in to buy her a new car after her old one broke down?

Where does it imply she had a car to begin with? And in what world is it okay for an elderly person to 1.) have to work a grueling shift at that age, 2.) have to walk 24 miles EVERY SHIFT??

How slow are you walking? 20 min mile is my walking pace so I'd be done in 4 hours... and I'm guessing they mean round trip

The person they got this number from, the woman’s coworker, did specify he meant 12 hrs each way. So… 8hrs of walking is a nice brisk pace. Cannot imagine she was actually doing that for more than a day.

I posted this image with the context of the upper article, but the *actual content* was the reply. Sorry you’re unable to comprehend context clues.
