Keep calm and don’t carry on…

Naively believing that things work as they should, I enter my location in Careem and wait for my ride.

Almost automatically my phone rings, which is never a good sign.

-ALLOOOOI!!! Yes yes madam, so look madam, I’m near the Opera metro station, how do I get to your house from there ? The GPS says I’m 4 minutes away.

- Sir, i don't understand, can't you follow the location feature? Also how can the GPS say you're 4 minutes away when Opera metro station is a 20 minute drive from Garden City ? You still have to cross the bridge.

-Madam of course I know how to use the location feature, please "be relax keda" calm your nerves. It’s just easier to call you, because even if I know how to use the GPS, the GPS doesn’t know how to drive. This is easier.

-It depends, easier for whom?

-No no it's easy for you. I'll pick you up at Kempinsky hotel, ok ? Your house seems to be in a complicated place. I hate Garden City. I get lost, the streets confuse me. I’ll be there in two minutes.

-You're still far…

-Madam be optimistic, be positive, positive ok ? Keep those nerves calm, I drive very fast...
