Easy way to tell OP is a transplant

  1. "Hwy 95"

  2. They're being nice.

As a transplant I feel this. I’ve been here almost 15 years and still people can tell when I give directions. I don’t use enough former landmarks.

Have you tried adding cumbys or bennys into the directions?

Lmao! I have been able to use Bennys as a waypoint before.

It’s also boggling to me how little people here travel within their own state. If I have to hear “pack a lunch” when I make the 30 minute drive to providence one more time I’m in danger of going blind from my eyes rolling back.

I had a dream where I moved to Los Angeles and got so mad at highways being "the 10", "the 101", "the 405" etc that I started getting really fucking snide about it and using "the" in front of every street name with this disgusted tone.
