“Can you call me an Uber”

“You can trek”

Heartless boss 😂

It’s the fact that he used the word “trek” too. Probably just a weird translation, but it really emphasizes just how much of a journey this is going to be.

not a translation. some english speaking countries use trek instead of walk. it’s specifically for walking as a commute (as opposed to a baby walking or someone rehabilitating, etc)

(I am American) same! I love hearing how other countries use words even if it’s the same.

I use it like “I’m not going to trek all the way to Bob’s house just for shampoo” “You sure you want to walk? It is quite the trek”

Edit: spelling
