Lost In New York

I was with a friend trying to drive through New York to get to the airport so I could fly home. My dad gave me directions but I misplaced them, so I was reading signs as I drove by them and waiting to see one that sounded familiar. We went further and further down the freeway and I still didn't recognize anything. All along the freeway there were bus stops, and some of them went to an airport in Indiana, where I had a layover. I pulled over a couple times to look for the directions, and the people at the bus stops kept telling me to just take the bus to the airport. For some reason I really didn't want to do that, and I was getting really irritated with people suggesting that. I had my laptop with me and checked to see if I had saved the directions as a word file. I was having a really difficult time using the computer, and there were so many other files open that I couldn't get enough of them closed to see the word file. I looked through my cell phone to see if I had it saved in a message. I tried calling my dad a few times and for some reason he wouldn't pick up his phone. There was some kind of accident on the road, and I just decided to turn around and try going back the other way. When I tried to go in reverse the friend I was with pointed out that there was a line of those do-not-back-up spikes behind us. At this point I was so frustrated I started crying, and somehow picked up the car and moved it around the spikes.
For some reason I was now in a car with two random guys. They were driving really fast so I couldn't read the freeway signs to find my exit. I asked them to slow down and they said no.
I was back stopped in front of one of the freeway bus stops with my own car, and I saw my aunt getting on to a bus. I decided I didn't want to say hello to her. I finally got a hold of my dad on the phone, and I told him in tears that I couldn't figure out where I was going. He laughed at me and told me it wasn't that big of a deal. This really upset me. I felt very alone and like I was going to be stuck out there forever.
