It is not about me, but rather about the ability of driver's to do their jobs.
Imagine... one boards a plane and the pilots come back to the passenger
compartment asking if anyone knows the way to destination.
Imagine... city bus driver asks passengers if they know the route they
should be following.
Imagine... cruise ship captain asking passengers how to get to island
destination x.
You get the idea. It is about being competent enough and having the
tools at their disposal to accomplish their jobs without asking paying
passengers for assistance. We get close to the destination I have no
problem pointing out the correct house... but do have a problem with
giving step-by-step instructions to the dumb & dumber.
