I just hope the house numbers aren’t similar!

    Yes, but I can see situations where someone who isn’t aware that there are a dozen Fallingbrooks might see the first one and assume the person gave them the wrong street type.

        I buy a lot stuff on buy and sell websites, so I’m picking up at people’s homes quite often.

        You’d be surprised how many people give out the wrong address. Like saying road instead of street, or not saying that their home is the north section of that street.

        In an area where all streets are named similarly, it causes confusion. Even delivery drivers, a.k.a professional address finders, can get messed up.

        Even when someone says “123 john street” and you don’t realize there’s a john street in every municipality around you, you’re basically guessing unless you caught this missing detail. 😂
