Okay, follow car-haters, lol, here I go with my rants and raves again...

This, once again, is a rant.

I know my community very well because I walk and bike alot, so I am aware of new businesses that have opened up in my neighborhood. I'm even aware of many homes that have been placed on the market. Because of seeing things on a human scale, I have an uncanny knowlegdge of distance between places and so on, but yesterday, I got so fed up with motorists stopping and asking me for directions that I actually told one driver that I didn't know even though I did.

Of course, I felt absolutely awful after I did that. I wish I could press a "rewind" button and do things differently, but just in the past week about eight motorists on separate occasions stopped and asked for directions. The motorist in question pulled over and rudely honked his horn to get my attention even though I didn't have my ipod on or wasn't on my phone. What was that about? Therefore, after he asked me for directions based on some address he had written down, I was so annoyed that I told him I did not know. I did know, however, and it was obvious to me that the reason he was getting lost over and over again was because he had the house numbers backward because based on how the houses are numbered in Suburban Miami, the combination he had written down couldn't have existed, but instead of going into all of that with him (I had groceries in my hand, and I just wanted to get home) and the fact that he rudely honked at me, I simply told him, "Sorry, I dont' know".

Obviously, I lied, and I truly feel guitly about doing that, but how would you guys have handled a similar situation? Geez, I seem to be seeking lots of advice on this tribe lately. : ) Sorry about that, guys.
