So we can assume from your viewpoint that you don't own a home, don't, or never have commuted, aren't married, and don't have kids. I bet your on time performance is stellar though. Well done! (SARCASM!)
I hope one night you are stuck in the terminal, watching the last flight home push back with empty seats on it as the captain shrugs his shoulders at you through the window.
