When your GPS says "turn right in 500 feet" but forgets to mention you're actually navigating a non-Euclidean space-time manifold. This is basically every mathematician who's ever tried to give directions. "Just follow the vector field" they said. "It's a simple path integral" they said. Meanwhile you're crying in differential geometry because you just wanted to find the bathroom and ended up in the 7th dimension. Next time I'll just ask a biologist—they might get me lost in a forest, but at least it'll be in this universe.
