I know exactly what you mean, and for some reason it really annoys me, too. I get _extremely_ frustrated with repairmen coming for service calls (or the cable guy or whatever) when they are unable to find my house and have either constantly call me or just give up. If my job involved locating random addresses every day, I would surely invest 15 bucks in a street map! You look up the street name in the back to find it’s location. Also, if you live in an area for awhile, you should be familiar with the numbering system used in addressed…they are usually pretty regular. I also am baffled by most people’s inability to estimate their heading based on the sun. Based on your latitude, the time of day, and the season, it is easy to figure out your direction to within 20 degrees or so. If the sun can’t be seen because it’s overhead and you are driving, then you can look at shadows. Obviously this doesn’t work at night or in cloudy weather, but it’s still extremely useful. I think I developed this skill because my natural sense of direction is terrible.
