Unimportant rambling

[jejo763]

It always amuses me when people ask where I live and I answer with the city's name. Then they ask where there and I reply. What usually happens next is that the person asking the questions does not know where that particular district is and then wants to know the approximate location. I reply with the location of the hospital, which is this region's biggest, btw, and still they continue looking like I'm speaking some strange language or am desribing the geography of Mars. Sigh. Well, I still try to continue and point out a sport centre. Again, no clue on the questioner's face. My last resort is telling them that I live on the right side of the city when you come from a particular direction with a car driving on a motorway that splits the city. There. Deep sigh.

What I really don't get is WHY these people are asking me the precise location of where I live when they actually have no knowledge whatsoever of my city. And this has happened more times than I can count. Goddess, give me strength...
