    Yeah i never looked into getting any kind of delivery job solely due to the idea I’d need to be able to find my way around the town I’ve lived in my entire life. I could get lost going to the grocery store and it hasn’t moved in, like, two decades.

      I grew up in a time when you had to remember things, like where things were. In fact, for decades, I managed to do that. Suddenly, in 2007, I suddenly forgot where everything on the entire planet was.

      Crazy!

        My wife likes to give me shit for not using GPS, instead commiting directions to memory and then going (with mixed results). But, I have a better handle on where a lot is, so, checkmate atheists.

          The only place of feel bad about getting lost is in Manhattan because the streets are numbered, or in my neighborhood in Brooklyn because of how long I’ve lived there. Everywhere else?

          “Siri: give me transit directions to X,” then I pop in my AirPods and listen to a podcast while Siri tells me where to go!

      I have a friend like this. Born and raised in his city. Put him on his feet in the CBD and turn him 180°, dude’s immediately lost.
