My sister wants me to go to the home depot. Not a home depot, the home depot. She either does not know or simply refuses to tell me the address instead giving me land marks.
But I never drive in that city so I don't know any of the land marks, so she tries to give me directions to the landmarks so I can follow other directions to different land marks so I can go tot the store she wants, all instead of just telling me where I'm going.
A short example
Where is it?
You know where the walmart is?
No
Yes you do! We used to go there all the time. It's next to where the lvno used to be
I don't know
Well you go to the self storage place, drive up to lights and then take a left
What self storage?
The self storage!
Just give me an address and I'll use the GPS!
Omg just take dad he knows where it is
As it turns out: Dad did not know where it was.

Unironically there are studies that show women navigate more with landmarks and contextual awareness and men navigate more by dead reckoning and compass directions.
It's funny taking an American guy who has self-proclaimed "great spatial awareness" to an old European city and watching how completely helplessly fricked he is without street signs at right angle intersections.

I hate how people here give directions using “left” and “right,” it's infuriating
WHICH LEFT?? It only is useful if I start from the exact same place and direction you're envisioning!
Give me cardinal directions or give me death
