I’d have been tempted to tell him to calm down, wind his neck in and then I might consider having a conversation and answering his questions! Ignorant moron!

I now challenge bad manners/rudeness, much to my husband’s embarrassment! I gave way to a woman in the supermarket who just dithered about. As she passed me she didn’t acknowledge me, although it was obvious that I had moved to let her through, then waited for her, so I cheerily said “you’re welcome “. She then shouted at me that she had said thank you. I said, and I said “you’re welcome “. That was it, she ranted at me that she had thanked me and I was being rude! As I walked away, I called back “methinks you doth protest too much”. I clearly hit a raw nerve, maybe others have told her she’s rude?

It costs nothing to say I'm so sorry that I disturbed you , but that would be good manners .
Of course,the sat nav is right and you are wrong ! You plainly don't know your own address !
I haven't had that,but I went through several years of having to take in parcels in and was spoken to very rudely by the neighbour,
who requested the goods.
Awaiting an ambulance for my father I refused the last lot not knowing how long we'd be and the parcels stopped.

It was bliss .

You defo missed a chance there - commission of, say, 10% on that neighbour.

After all - you were having to disturb whatever it was you were doing and give them those directions.

Me - I'd have been tempted to put up a big clear notice saying "The woman you are visiting lives at No 2 Myrtle Cottages. Any attempt to ring my doorbell and ask for directions will be met with £100 charge for doing so".

Oh, Deeds, you should have been entitled to a small percentage of her earnings for your services!

When I lived in a very remote part of Cornwall I used to get random men knocking on the door asking for a neighbour. I just used to direct them to her cottage. It was a long time before I discovered that she was actually posing for pornographic photos with them. It must have been a nice little earner for her!

We have both had problemsat various times with satnavs giving up on the job. Not the same satnav each time.

I am now very careful when using my satnav and familiarise myself with the route I should be taking in a road atlas first, so that I am prepared for a journey with a satnav with no sense of direction.

How very rude of him, but why is the dog alone?

Chardy was home with the dog!

Sat navs! They have a lot to answer for.
But no excuse for rudeness.

Oh, I see . That's alright, then.

Chardy, we lived briefly in a row of six small workers cottages, ours was narrow, in the middle, backed onto farmland
This was the only housing on a narrow quiet country lane going out of the village, the main road miles away.

One morning there was a great clattering outside, a looong flat bed lorry wih two men unloading scaffolding poles. I opened the window when they banged on my front door, asked what did they want, one said, “Come on, open the door luv we’ve got all this to unload”
As though they could physically bring long poles through a wee cottage.

They took some persuading that they were in the wrong place but apparently the SatNav knew better than me.

It was the belligerence and bloody mindedness upset me more than the idiocy.

He roared off as though I was the unreasonable one.
