Driving Directions Gone Bad

[Metody]

I live right in the area of I-79/I-70. I HATE giving directions because they never understand the I-79 to I-70 back to I-79 part.

I live on Beechwood. Just try explaining a street that can be both the north and east branch of an intersection. People never want to believe the street makes a right-angle bend.

There's a short stretch of Lafayette Road, north of Newton, NJ, where you are simultaneously on 94 North and 15 South. In case you ever wondered how to go in two directions at once...

Also goofy, is the street I live on. Like most streets, the odd numbers are on the left, evens on the right...as you're driving down the street. Until, you reach the "loop" where the street turns back on itself. Then, the odd numbers are on the inside of the loop, and the evens on the outside...until you get where the street is two-way again. Most delivery people think that the houses up to that point are mis-numbered. It drives them all nuts

I like that! Very true!

Back on topic:

I verbally gave the directions first but she wanted me to draw a map. It was getting busy and a line was forming...So I drew the simple map with interstate 79 and exit she needs to get off. The bit@H started to add ff'in streets I didn't even draw. She said "What's that street?" I turn left? What's this? (The interstate....what else...geesh)"

She even started to confuse me. I was going to draw her a new map because she fuc##ed up the original map. She said no, just tell her.

A couple of minutes later, she tells me I needed to be clear in the future and give more accurate directions. I apologized and told was just trying to help. Then what came next was a shock. She said "Fuck you!" and stormed off.

You went to all that trouble for her during busy time, and she kept interrupting you and shouted an obscenity at you? I hope she ended up in Nunuvut!

I hope she ended up in Nunuvut!

You act like that's a bad thing. I look at it this way...we'd have one less idiot in SW PA. Too bad there are several million still left

You act like that's a bad thing.

For her, it would be. For the rest of us...
