Why Are Addresses So Hard?

How about Tulsa?

11612 South West 146th Street North.

Dafuque?

I know the feeling. I live on ### XXXX Circle (which is not a circle at all), that is right next to XXXX Place, of the same street name.

One of our offices in Tulsa is on a street like that. I totally agree. Dafuque...

Yeah, Tulsa is a special kind of WTF? when it comes to street names.

I feel you. I built a new house on the end of a street. I put a gate, mailbox with the numbers. My only other neighbor on my street gets all my Amazon, UPS and FedEx packages despite his address being on his home. I think drivers just follow what the app tells them versus actually looking at house numbers.

The one that gets me is my office is right next to another company, but our building faces one street and theirs faces the cross street, so we have different street names, but some genius gave us the same number. So our address is something like 5432 N Random St and they’re 5432 Whoopass Pl.

I’m surprised we don’t get each others‘ deliveries more often, especially considering that the drives to our loading docks are right next to each other.

Tulsa was simple til it expanded and the younger generation screwed it up.
North - south were cities with major streets colleges. East-west was number streets. E-w majors 11,21,31.41.51 61 etc.

After 8 years I am still getting mail for the three people that used to live here, two of whom ARE DEAD!
The other is homeless. Legal notices, bills, sweepstakes, etc.

Voter ID’s for Democrats?

You’d be surprised at the number of houses that have no addresses on them or their mail boxes. Creek County 911 addresses were printed on plastic stakes. Guess what happened in the big Creek County fire a few years ago? They said meth heads would steal them if they were aluminum.

I live on ##ST, but there is a ##Terr right next to us (identical number) and it's like every third delivery goes to the corresponding address on the wrong street? You would think that after I keep opening mis delivery tickets they would put some kind of alert in the delivery system (all of them, Amazon, UPS and FedEx). It also doesn't help that the lady who lives at that house will not answer her door and doesn't like to bring packages to us, despite the fact that when we get her stuff we do deliver it. Just a rant.

have people delivering that can't even read a map and maybe read period!
