Input: Text: throwaway to hide my shame. locations changed also to hide my shame.

today i went to go vote at my city hall, which i had never been to. i followed my phone to the location, which was only 2 miles from my house.

once i was done voting, i thought to myself that drive wasn't too bad, i can find my way back without gps. that was the start of my fu.

that doesn't seem like the sort of thing that would cause any problems, but i have no sense of direction. i don't understand landmarks, directions, any of that. i can make a drive 100 times and still get lost if i don't have a gps. it took me a month to learn the new route to my job after i moved. so me thinking i could make a 2 mile route that i had just taken for the first time was pretty daring for me. the following is a play-by-play of that journey.


ok, we're back getting to the main road. i think i need to take a right.

ok, i'm pretty sure that was wrong. but i sort of recognize some of the places around. i'll keep driving until i find something that i know how to get home from.

ah, i know that rite aid on the corner...i know i usually turn left when i see it, but what direction am i going now in relation to where i usually come from? oh well, i'll just get in the left turning lane.

*waiting for the turning light to come on* ok, this is definitely not the right way, but there are cars in the other lanes, so i have to stick with it.

*make the turn* ok, i recognize that restaurant up ahead. i'm definitely getting farther away from my house, but i think i just hop on the highway after passing the restaurant.

*there is no highway* well shit. maybe i should find a place to turn around.

*turn onto a side street* well here's a densely populated residential area. i don't want to turn around in anyone's driveway, so i'll drive through it and turn around on a loop.

*it's a cul-de-sac from hell* ok, i can't find my way out of here and people are probably getting freaked out seeing my car circle around. time to admit defeat and ask technology. i don't want to stop creepily on the side of the road by someone's house, so i'll use the speak feature.

me: "directions home"

phone: "it looks like you haven't told me where you live"

shit. i definitely told google maps where i live, but i guess my phone doesn't know.

me: "directions to 25 dalfort street"

phone: "i will navigate you to 25 dalforth street"

ahhh, the sweet relief of letting technology do the navigating for you.

*driving for a bit* wow, i'm still 15 minutes away? i must have gotten more lost than i thought.

*getting close to the destination* i'm in the wrong city.

*see the street is dalforth, not dalfort* ...


me: "directions to 25 dalfort street"

phone: "i will navigate you to 25 dolleforth street"

me: "directions to 25 dalfort street"

phone: "i will navigate you to 25 dalforge street"

me: "directions to 25 dalforth street, landow, connecticut"

phone: "i found no results for 25 dullworth street, landow, connecticut"

me: ...


*pull over, type it out*

ahhh, the sweet relief of letting technology do the navigating for you. 

*driving for a bit* ok, 15 minutes left which makes sense since i drove all that way in the wrong direction to get here.

*getting close to destination* ok, i'm not recognizing much, but i must be coming up through that road right off my street that i never take. and i can see that the destination pin on the screen is on the end of a weird hook-shaped road, which is definitely what my house looks like on the map, so this is definitely right.

*arrive at destination* it's a library.

phone: "you have arrived at 25 dalford street"


after pulling into the library parking lot, meticulously typing out the entire address, including the city, and not just clicking the first result that popped up, i finally made it home after another 20 minutes of driving. i guess the lesson is never try to overcome your limitations.

TIFU by thinking I didn't need a GPS
