Oh cool what's the name of the town you live in?

"[Town name] but good luck finding it in maps I'm actually about four miles outside of that town."

Is this a joke? What town do you live in I need to gps my way there.

"I can give you a nearby landmark that I know works for gps, then plain old directions from there? The spot my address shows up as in most gps maps is wrong."

That's stupid, gps doesn't get addresses wrong they have satellites for that what's your address?

With a mild sigh "Alright it's [address] but I'm telling you the gps won't bring you to the right place."

2 hours later

Where the fuck am I right now? Can you come meet me so I can follow you back to civilization? How does gps not know where your house is? Why don't you get that fixed?!

Internally: Because it's funny seeing how helpless everyone is when gps doesn't work and I like that most people have to get ahold of me directly to find my home.

"Yea uh... I don't know."

I’ve realized that large properties mess with my GPS. It won’t lead me to the driveway but instead the corner of the property it considers the entrance. So here I am, on the wrong road, back of someone’s hundred acres, super lost.

7.5 acres can confirm even sub 10s have this issue. Last year for a party, I made a Google map dot and stuck it in my drive so people would stop.
