if you want me to go to your house then GIVE ME PROPER DIRECTIONS

Seriously I'm really not good with directions but I don't blame me when I dont have a map or iphone. I read an article by Mike's Ramblings and basically this is what I go out of it:

 Do you ever get directions which sound like this?
“OK, you come up towards us, and then you make a left at the Burger King just before county road five. After that, go through four stop lights, and then make a right turn at the street with the red brick house on the corner. Now, go two stop signs, jog left, and it will be the fourth house on your right, with the white garage door.”
For all you kids who love to give directions like that, that was not a set of directions! No, that was a prescription for migraines, lost time, and marital strife.

It is incredibly easy to mess up directions like that (was it three lights, or four?), and it is also easy to make a mistake when trying to follow them. Moreover, once you get lost, it’s hard as hell to correct.
If you want somebody to get to your house, here's what you do:

If it’s at night, turn on all of your damned exterior AND INTERIOR lights! The last thing you want to do is have your friend at night is looking for the house number instead of the house. OR GIVE THEM A ******* LIFT!

Yea it took me 3 hours to find my way tonight. YOU probably won't read this but the hopefully YOU GUYS will learn from this =)

Cheers x
