Annoying is:

My sense of direction isn't that great either. Especially since I have a lot of trouble seeing street signs from the bus. I typically make it into a whole project. Go to google maps. Print out a page showing the bus route I'll be taking to get there. Mark out the bus stops of the few streets before my stop, so I can look for signs and/or ask the driver.

One of the nice things of being in a big city, the buses now announce stops... both visually (with an LED sign behind the drivers seat that everyone should be able to see), and audibly (via automated female voice over the bus PA system).

If I know where I'm going ahead of time, get to study the streets coming up before my stop, now I almost never go by it. (Unless I was asleep. :| )

There's a fun thing for you and I to do one day... enter a car rally. (lolol!)

With utmost respect ... LoL@ DTricksplit. but awww feel sorry for  you. Your not alone though. I got ripped off for multi tasking.

Stop multi-tasking while driving! (lol) It's illegal now in Canada.

I can recall driving with some guy... we were going to some church outreach program, and he didn't know where he was going, but he was too stubborn to stop... just took a good guess and...

Had some papers on his lap showing where it was... had a pencil in one hand to write down additional notes, draw arrows etc.

His other hand had a bagel in it, because he'd had to leave earlier to fetch me, and hadn't had breakfast yet.

He had a cell phone between a shoulder and ear, having called someone to ask about the directions.

When I realized I was in a car, being driven by a guy who was using both of his knees to do the actual steering, I wanted to scream, but didn't dare, lest that be the thing that made us crash!
