Reminds me of a story where a happy DM brought out his brand-new Waterdeep
boxed set, unfolded and laid down the north-eastern map on the table. The
party's chief mischief-maker got the group to move south from where they
were... crossing over the edge of the map in the process. The DM dutifully
got out the south-eastern map, and laid it out. Then the thief (yeah, OK,
who else would it be!) decided to head to his "favourite tavern" - to the
west. The DM put down the south-western map. So the thief lead the party
north again, demanding to see the fourth (north-western) map.

At which point the DM hit him over the head with the near-empty box...
