Spent 26 hours one time on an 800 mile bus ride. Bad roads made for slow progress and we kept stopping to repair damage to the bus and also to eat, toilet stuff etc.
Thats insane! I would have killed myself after 4 hours.

I once had a very long bus trip back from Belgium on a school trip. We got stuck in a service station for about 2/3 hours when the drivers got confused where we were as they needed to swap drivers. It was not fun.

Well you'd suck in a Soyuz :D But then the new ascent plan is now just about six hours, so perhaps you'll make it to the ISS, alive :D That's what I usually do on long public transport trips--I imagine I'm in a spacecraft and I have to wait this or that long, and I just do "spacecraft chores" in my head during the trip and that eases the agony a little bit :D

I have to do a 7 hour car trip every year, not to mention that it's a car, which means no leg room, and that we only stop once in the middle. I hate the place we go to anyway (I hate all holidays, unless it's to a convention), so that makes it suck. But at least I bring along an inverter so I can charge my laptop in the car. Did I mention that I did my first docking in that same car trip? Where everything is bumpy, and docking requires precision? At least we aren't going on that trip this year, and if we do go I will protest.

When I went on holidays I had to guide my mother everywhere and it took 3/4 hours to get there and had to guide all the car trips. At least you could relax, I had to constantly stay alert and guide.

Also, sometimes on holidays where I can't bring my laptop (because sometimes my parents act like they hate children), I have learned that my imagination is a powerful thing, as sometimes it makes daydreaming seem like actual life, but with you narrating it. Also I found you can change your state of tiredness just by closing your eyes. Just close your eyes for an hour, and you get sleepy. Abuse that and anything could happen. Stuck on a long trip? Close your eyes for the duration it takes you to force your body to sleep and in the meantime use your imagination to take you places that only your imagination can imagine like imagination land.

Like the land in which chobit and trekkette aren't trying to kill us?

Trekkette doesn't want to kill us, just force you to watch star trek no matter what.

As for Chobit, it depends what mood she's in and what we have done lately

You would be better of buying and sending Toblerones to Chobit while hiding all the time in a nuclear bunker. Don't forget internet access and electricity!
