George Zimmerman: Trayvon Martin threatened my life

From the article

Quote
As he spoke to the dispatcher, he told police Martin circled his vehicle, but he could not hear whether Martin said anything because his windows were up and he was on the phone. Afterward, he said, he "lost visual of (Martin)." At the same time, he said the dispatcher asked him his location. He said he wasn't sure of the name of the street he was on and got out of the vehicle to look for a street sign or an address on a home.



Quote
And the investigator expresses doubt that Zimmerman, who had lived in the neighborhood for three years and described himself as head of the neighborhood watch, did not know the names of the three streets in the subdivision.

I have lived at the same place for almost 20 years and it's in a subdivision.  I don't know the names of the streets other than the one I live on. 

Do you know the names of all the streets in your subdivision?   :???:

I think in a high-stress situation like that, forgetting a detail like that is definitely possible.

I live in a house that's situated on a gravel road. The road does not have a name - it has a number.

I have NO CLUE what the neighboring gravel roads have for numbers. Furthermore, I don't really care. Now, I know that Zimmermann was a neighborhood watch guy and that he's supposed to care, but hell, I can't fault him for not knowing or forgetting (whichever it is) what the damned street name is.

I don't know all the street names of where I live either. I just know which way to go to get to where I want to go.

I have live here for 12 years, on a 90 degree cul de sac. I know my address, but I couldn't tell you the name of my street after it makes the 90 degree turn.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

I know most of the street names where I live, but I don't know which one is which.  I couldn't label them on a map.
