All roads lead to Rome, but all Roads also lead away from Rome if you’re traveling in the wrong direction.
Unless they are loops
Tickles me mildly to think of all the roads ending abruptly at one end and leading to Rome at the other.
Doesn’t help if mfr got turned around is walking away from Rome
it’s even worse if you are in Rome. How do you get out?
you don’t
Just dont follow a road until you leave
Man, its so easy to get confused about which direction you’re going when traveling takes days at a time and the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
What sort of heretical bullshit is this? Everyone knows the sun rises and sets in Rome!
The sun may rise in the East, at least it settled in a final location.
Eastern skies*
Would you turn Google maps?
babe please, would you turn into goggle maps?
Okay, it’s in portrait mode. Now what?
Joke’s on you, I use Google maps to go the exact same way to work every day. The one day I didn’t I got caught in an hour of traffic.
I try to check every day, especially on the way home, it has live traffic. I’ve dodged more than one traffic jam/wreck/etc by checking the directions.
This. I once sat in stationary traffic for an hour and a half because a truck rolled over on a major highway. Nowadays I put my destination into Waze and if the best route is a long detour I just turn the car off and go back inside.
Same here, besides the going back inside part, that’s a smart move. I read something about Waze sunsetting so I assume that means Google/Apple maps have police warnings now, but I don’t know that for certain.
I honestly used to love a traffic jam on the way to work. An extra hour I wasn’t at work, just chillin’ listening to my music, not being at fucking work. It was great. If traffic was completely stopped, like put it in park, turn off the ignition stopped, then it was Netflix on my phone time baby.
Traffic jams on the way home suuuucked though. At the time real time traffic info in my area was spotty at best, though. Almost impossible to use as an excuse now.
Car dependency be like.
WE MUST TURN MAPS, COMRADE.
That’s so silly, I’m a total map app removed guy and I couldn’t care less what people think of it.
If only my dad could read maps. I drive a lot when we go on vacation together, but often have to do the navigation as well. Read paper maps too since I was a kid because both my parents are horrible at directions. Was basically their tomtom before it existed. I was able to track the position with my finger fairly accurately.
I don’t mind navigating, but it sucks that he gets confused by it while insisting he does the navigation. Be it app or paper. I stay quiet and comply unless I expect the detour to be too much. He’s got to get the hang of it sometime. Surely.
What about the roads away from Rome?
The way I see it, if I walk far enough in a given direction, I’ll either arrive to my destination or to a point were it’s obvious I’m walking the wrong way (ex: I’m leaving the city and I know I’m in the right city, or I’m facing the river and I know I’m on the right bank, etc…); at which point I just have to turn around and start again. Reiterate enough times and you’re bound to arrive eventually.
