I remember buying my first mapsco and thinking: well shit, I literally can't get lost now...

Apartments and multi tenant buildings in my country have numbers in a pattern, 1001 bottom first floor first to the left, 1002 next..1101 next floor same etc etc

Finding the right apartment even without a name of the owner becomes a breeze.

Do you think the postal and delivery workers have learnt this? ..nope..

Pizza delivery though? No issues at all

Thank you for your service 🫡

The thin bread line separates not only the hungry from the fed but the men from the boys too. It has a higher casualty rate than being a police officer.

Same. I loved the independence of it. But it didn't pay enough to cover the repair bills it generated.

In my city:

• all the addresses are the same on all the parallel streets,

• "East" and "West" are all separated by the same long North-South Boulevard,

• even numbered express/highways will take you East/West, odd numbered North/South.

Lots of other stuff I've since forgotten, but I went from not knowing the city to knowing it by heart in a couple of months.

Now I do longer haul deliveries so I know areas far from where I live. I spend my time scoping out potential restaurants/areas for day trips or vacations.

That, and each driver would cover a specific area within the delivery range. It's not like they would have to read a map that fast for an address in an area they didn't already have practically memorized.
