    Saw someone on the street looking down at their phone, clearly trying to find their bearings on a map, so I go "Hey, what are you looking for?" because this place is like a maze and there are always people lost. He says a local train station — so I take stock of the situation and suggest he go a slightly longer, but much simpler route taking in a nice canal walk, rather than the one he was on, which is a bit shorter, but with loads of turns.

    He's happy with that, and I'm happy to have done something for someone else. Yaay, society!

    Except I've just realised now that I've come back in and sat in front of my computer that I entirely misunderstood which station he was going to, so sent him the completely wrong way.

    Oh well, I hope he has a nice walk before he realises, at least.

    • It's like 50°C out there today too.
      He's going to be so pissed.

    • It was a genuine mistake - he said train station, not tube station, so I sent him to the train station, not the tube station. But thanks!Nairn
