So not a situation anywhere like this, but I had a Lyft driver, about six months ago, followed the wrong GPS. Actually Lyft was giving him the wrong exit. When I tried to tell him to get off the exit before, which was the direct shot to my home, I found out that he couldn’t speak English. Long story short, he followed the wrong directions, ended up getting stopped at a gated community, and then we had to use Google translate for me to type in the directions in English and translate it to Spanish for him. After the fact, I was kind of annoyed that I didn’t think to tell him exito triente, but then again, why should I have had to?

That’s what I picture here. And no, please don’t. When I lived in Europe, I learned the local language. I mean I went to school. I speak English in my country.
