Failure

Zapsal mabapla 23. 2. 2008 v jazyce English.

A few days ago, I failed as an OSMer.
I mean, what's our only ;-) purpose in life? To provide our fellow citizens with map data so they can find their destinations.
I was biking in my neighbour town Bernhausen to fill in some missing street names. It was already dark and getting colder, but hey, that shouldn't keep anybody from mapping. ;-)
I was standing on the side of the street with my bike, writing down some street names, when a car pulled beside me. I could tell from the license plate that they were not from the region.
They asked me where a certain street was. And I couldn't tell them! I could tell them that it was not in this part of the town, but that didn't help much. When they said that a certain school was nearby, I could give them instructions how to get there, though.
So maybe I only failed half. ;-)
No need to say that the street they were asking for is now in OSM. :-)

Haha, quite a similar thing happened to me but I failed completely (they only asked for a street with no further hints).

:D
