    Its just bizarre to think about how awful trying to accurately convey an order verbally over shitty audio quality must have been

      Even better, being a delivery driver trying to find McRando’s house without GPS, map quest, etc. Just a street address and a city street map from the municipal Chamber of Commerce.

      Especially fun when half of your deliveries were out of the city limits and you had to ask for/write down directions, and no cell phone to call if you took a wrong turn or they gave you bad directions.

      I don’t miss those days.

        You forgot the part where your boss yells at you for being out too long because the house you were supposed to go to had a mile long driveway and no numbers on the road.
