The Struggle Is Real: Hilarious Delivery Package Address Reads 'Call Me When You Reach Mandir'

Before the age of digital maps, people had to navigate roads and lanes by asking for directions every couple of hundred metres or so. Even now, some house numbers and street names can confuse the bejeezus out of you.

When it comes to guiding your delivery guy, landmarks are key, But there are some people who take this 'landmark' aspect a little too literally.
