I think he has it backwards where this person lives and commutes. I spent 15 years living in Columbus and the idea that you would live in the very heart of the city and commute out to Washington Courthouse, a very small drive-by town (population of only 14k people!) in the huge rural expanse outside Columbus, is kind of bonkers. Columbus cost of living (especially in the heart of it) is much, much higher than WC so you'd be spending tons of money and commuting a couple hours a day for no good reason.
I suspect this person lives in WC and works in downtown Columbus, like at Nationwide Insurance or one of other big corporate employers there, or perhaps they even work at the statehouse for the state government located there. They're probably doing their business in the office every day since they're spending most waking hours there during the week (and naturally get into a regular schedule).
This would make a LOT more sense as the cost to live outside Columbus is significantly cheaper while commuting in isn't that bad (there are tons of highways all around and into the city). Perhaps this person even works a lower wage or benefit service job there and has no real healthcare benefits, paid time off, etc. to help them take care of health issues they might be suffering from a persistent COVID infection--more reason why they'd be living in a cheap town on the outskirts of the city and commuting in to their job downtown.

- atdrummond 3y agoFunny you mention that - I dated a woman for three years who never once went to the bathroom (#2) at her house or mine. This wasn’t an objective of her’s; rather, she had such a precise internal clock that she went regularly a few minutes past ten every day. On the weekends, this meant she went at the gym on Saturday and at the church on Sunday. I didn’t think much of it at the time but realized years later that it was quite an incredibly odd streak she had built up.
- talkmess 3y agoSo she never once was at home at 10 am? No weekday, no weekend? Never ever? Never missed gym, never missed church, never had a day off, was never sick? I call BS. Sorry to say, she may not have been entirely honest with you.
- BirAdam 3y agoThere are plenty of people who are super regular, and super disciplined in their routines. What would be really impressive to me is if she never once got food poisoning or flu and broke the streak in that way.
- atdrummond 3y agoShe wouldn’t eat out with me and preferred to meal prep all her meals for the week on Sunday, which definitely probably helped avoid food poisoning. I can only recall her being sick once, with the flu.
- talkmess 3y agoAnd while she had that flu she still went to the gym and church and her office?!
- IanCal 3y ago> What would be really impressive to me is if she never once got food poisoning It'll never cease to amaze me how commonly people in the US get food poisoning based on their comments. Not getting food poisoning or the flu in three years is surprising?
- BirAdam 3y agoVery. American culture prior to Covid was one in which any time off ever was frowned upon. As a result, people often went to work sick due to social pressure. Additionally, many companies had rather bad food safety practices because people would be sick and tired for fear of having a manager think them lazy for being out sick.
