RE: I'm having less and less patience towards certain things as I get older

yeah, i get it. I shouldn't get on people's cases for the GPS thing, I just get annoyed when a guy whose job is to drive a taxi and he doesn't know how to get to, say, the only airport in the city, without the GPS switched on. If you don't knwow where every single apartment building in the city is, that is understandable... but to use it by default is just lazy in those situations and it also results in turning roads into traffic jams because the GPS sends everyone down the same roads and I often wonder if people in wealthy neighborhoods pay the GPS companies to not include their streets in any navigational sense unless it is the end destination.

Oh yeah, I totally get that. When I was driving around cities doing cable modem installs I had paper maps because smartphones weren't even around yet. It didn't take long before I started being able to find most places without the maps. Of course I live in and around pretty small towns respectively.

I delivered pizzas when I was in college for a while. We knew where EVERYTHING was and paper maps were all we had. Cell phones were in their infancy back then and not many people had them. If you got or couldn't find a place you were simply shit outta luck.

Haha, yes, that sounds really famililar!
