I once had a cab driver take me to MIT. Cab driver: "what is this place?" Me: "MIT" Cab driver: "what's MIT?" Me: "the Massachusetts Institute of Technology." Cab driver: "what's Massachusetts?"

I've heard that, three blocks from Caltech, many people have never heard of the university.
I had a cab driver in New York who was unable to take me to the Brooklyn Bridge.
... well it keeps getting sold.
Possibly didn't want to take you into Brooklyn. The Manhattan side isn't really walkable.
I was already on the Brooklyn side. But the issue was literally that he had no idea what the Brooklyn Bridge was, not the precise drop-off location. (We just wanted to look around Dumbo for a bit.)

Not to be confused with the world class educational institution the Manukau Institute of Technology :P
I always find it funny when I drive by that and I see the sign MIT.
Move over plebs, some people study at the Royal MIT: https://www.rmit.edu.au/
I find the German language funny because "mit" just means "with". I remember search engines having trouble with this in the late nineties.
