One of my peeves is when a traffic report talks about an accident at Stoney and Country Hills, for example, but neglects the state the quadrant. An important detail.

Yet on a non-traffic news story they do the opposite. "An incident in the city's southwest!" despite that being a ridiculously vague and useless descriptor in a city this size. And then it ends up being half a block off of centre street downtown...
You think that's fun? Try being a 911 Operator, and getting people to tell you exactly where on Stoney they are...

"I'M ON STONEY! THE ONLY ONE IN THE CITY! STOP WITH YOUR STUPID QUESTIONS AND JUST GET HERE NOW!"
