The misnumbered/not numbered houses is still a big issue. GPS can only be relied on to get you in the general area, and even then sometimes it points you to the middle of a field.
My real gripe is apartments. People will often fail to give you the apartment number and even if they do, every single complex has their own numbering system and layout. There is one complex near here where the signs on the buildings are completely illegible at night due to the lights above them casting shadows. I hate having to go there.
What specifically about my post makes you think I’m angry? And defensive doesn’t even make sense as we haven’t spoken before. Maybe take a deep breath yeah?
I’m not the delivery driver you replied to. I just thought it was dismissive to reply to a person saying “it’s difficult to figure out apt numbers” with a long explanation on why they’re wrong and how it’s actually easy.
Because your source of info is places you’ve lived at personally, and I assume a delivery driver would have seen a wider range of apartments than you. So without additional context, you seem to be making assumptions that most places would be like the ones you’ve seen, and “correcting” someone based on that assumption.
I live in an apartment complex where the only distinguisher between the two halves is street number, they share a name entirely and have the same numbers.

The rare times a complex had a map of the complex when I was delivering was a godsend.
I once lived in a complex where Google had my apartment so wrong I’d have to stick gps coordinates in the delivery instructions.
Maybe one of these? https://www.popularmechanics.com/home/tools/g37899122/best-handheld-spotlights/

You really think you’ve lived in enough apartment complexes to know better than a delivery driver?
