Fuuuck that. I want a time, and I want an address, and I want to know what else we’re doing.
I love my SOs dad, but he gives directions like:
“Oh its 2 blocks south then turn at the Dairy Queen and it’s right in the lot where the best buy is”
Like motherfucker I don’t live in this area. I don’t want to anxiously watch for a dairy queen tucked between two hair salons in a strip mall like I’m watching for a sign from god, give me the fucking address >.>
I feel bad because he was trying to direct me to a church for a luncheon thing after his dad’s funeral, and I had to go cry in the car because I couldn’t decipher his bullshit pirate treasure map directions.
Edit: rereading this I feel like I maybe ranted a little bit too much about directions, I just suck at directions ;-;
Nope, your rant is valid. I suck at processing verbal directions entirely. Good text directions are acceptable if there’s enough time beforehand to check them against Street View and handle any followup needed or the occasion is casual enough that being late doesn’t matter.
Yep. I also hate when people say things like “I’ll be there in a afternoon” “at lunchtime” “in the morning”. What TIME? Afternoon? 1-5? Morning 7-12? Lunchtime? 11-2? Give me a one hour timeframe ffs.
And if you invite me to a group thing, please tell me who is going! And if we’re meeting somewhere where exactly are we meeting? The shopping center is big! Which cafe or restaurant? Do I go in or wait outside? Ahhhh! 😅
