Directions

Is anyone else familiar with the following exchange.

Person: Meet at my house. Do you want directions?
Me: No, I don't know it but if you give me the post code and house
number and I'll use autoroute.
Person: <Gives long boring pointless detailed directions.>

FFS. It's 2006. The best way to find somewhere is with a printed
map/GPS. Why do I seem to spend half my life being given pointless
directions.

People are stupid? I come across this on a regular basis... I let the
divot on the other end of the line give me thier instructions and then
I ask again for the postcode... They feel better for having waffled on
for a bit... I suppose it makes them feel important or in control...

If they get funny about it, I tell them that without a postcode I
can't pick up thier car. If you just give me your postcode, I can find
you without you having to spend 5 minutes explaining to me where to
go... The public... bless...

 

I had exactly that last night!

Him: "Do you know Deal?"
Me: "A bit, but I've got a sat nav so if..."
Him: "OK, well...you go down the A256..." <Snip SIX MINUTES of this way,
that way.>
Me: "Thanks, and can I just take your postcode too?"

FFS!

Did I say ever?

 

ever, ever,

Half the population has below average intelligence.

 

Most people have more than the average number of legs.

 

99.9% of people intelligent enough to join Mensa, don't.

 

In the UK 98% of people intelligent enough to join Mensa don't,
although your figure is about right worldwide. Aren't statistics wonderful?
