Last month, my cable box partially died, so they sent a replacement. But they wanted the old one back anyway. The store in town only handles wireless services. So I had to either get a shipping label and stand in line at UPS or drive 10 miles. I hate driving! But as I posted yesterday, it hurts to stand. So I decided to drive.
I've lived here 38 years. But I almost never drive south. So first, I tried to avoid the highway and take a bypass. I got lost. It took 15 miles and 20 minutes to get 5 miles heading south. And that wasn't the worst part!
I was using a County street book map. In the town where the cable equipment return was, there were only 2 turns to make off the highway to get to them. I couldn't find the street. You are gonna laugh at this... The book map is oriented north. I forgot I was driving south! I got the streets all backwards. And right turns were left turns. 😭
It took me over an hour to find a place 10 miles away! At least the drive home only took 15 minutes. 👍
