Confusing Building Layouts

Ok, I started this because I have gotten lost every single day at a high I have to go to for summer school called Glenbrook South. This place has the most confusing layout for a building I have ever been in. It's had about 8000 additions put whereever the stuff will fit. It has two main staircases that look exactly alike so you can't tell where you are! The room numbers are completely illogical (room 400 is next to room 264, and room 164 is next to 264)!!! Almost everyday I get lost and it's so annoying!

The dang Milwaukee highway systems ticks me off too because their are about 8 bridges twisting around churches all tangled up and it always gets me lost when I'm going their too. I like how they saved the churches though.

Any particular places anyone here has that confuses the crud out of them.

San Antonio's roads. of course, Houston's are crap right now. They've been under construction since Lee Brown took office.

Atlanta has this thing where, theres 6 lanes....and throughout the day, depending on traffic, the lanes in the middle will switch from driving lanes, to turning lanes, to lanes you CANNOT go down on the fly. They are doing away with it as Atlanta has the WORST traffic in America.

My highschool's layout is retarted too. There are rooms where you have to walk through other rooms to get to them, so you can be in the middle a class and some random guy will just walk through your room. It gets very annoying.

The most confusing building I was in was the King Louis the VIII hotel in St. Louis. I stayed there two years in a row with various other colleges for our annual St. Louis Tournament over Thanksgiving. Talk about getting lost in a maze.

Oh, I thought of another one. When we were in Las Vegas, we stayed at the Treasure Island hotel. That was pretty crazy trying to find our way to the elevator to get to our rooms.

Well, the high school I'm thinking of attending seems pretty simplistic. Their is a front quad with a couryard in the middle, then behind that are some older classrooms and the lunchroom. Then behind that are the athletic facilities and other stuff, like the stage, gym, weight room and then outside are all the fields and such.

Looks like I'm screwed for next year. At least they have an orientation to show you where each class is. I think the rooms are coordinated by the class your taking, so all the same subject is supposed to be in a similar level. At least the schools better than GBN.;)


Atlanta is very confusing. There isn't anything to visually remember on the roads, because there are too many damn trees.
