People keep asking me for directions to places I've never heard of, and don't seem to believe me that I'm not from here.

The thing is, I'd walked past the place he wanted to go to 3 times today.

I get asked for directions for places that are very near where I live,
and I still don't know. I basically know the street I live on, and that's pretty much it.

Yeah, this.
I don't know any street names. I grew up in the country, I'm shit at telling people how to get anywhere in towns.

I don't know the estate at all,
other than how to get from my house to the main road and how to get to the park where I walk the dog.

People are constantly asking me for directions
I think I'm starting too look a little too local.

I did know somebody who was only able to give directions
providing there were pubs on the way that he could use as navigation references.
If going from A to B there were two possible routes, one of which was a straight road, 1 mile long but without any pubs on it, and the other route was a twisty turny route, with pubs on every corner, making your entire journey length 4 miles, he could only direct you the long way, via all the pubs.

My uncle is like that.
Handily, he lives in Dublin, so the pub route is often the quickest route also.
