I hate when people ask me for directions

Not because I don't wanna help but because I need directions too lol.

I've 'lost' my car in the parking garage before.
Took me about 10 mins to find it 🤪

The only thing I hate more is when people give me directions, instead of sending me the freaking pin for Google maps . They be like “ so when make a left you’ll see a police station next to Frankie’s pizza , and then you make a right , so you go three blocks down , and then you make a u turn… “

@deadteddy Last time I dealt with something like that I pulled out my phone and asked them "show me where on the map". I saw some real discomfort/reluctance but they did. When I went there, exactly the point they indicated, it was wrong.

When they give you instructions like that is because they don't know themselves and will bank on you blaming yourself for being unable to follow directions instead of blaming them from not knowing for sure. It's psyops.

@Elessar good solution...stay home and send out the servant.

When I lost my car in a parking garage the manager ended up touring me through the whole place to no avail, that's after MY looking first...in vain for 2 hours, then it turned out it was across the street, in THAT parking garage.

Once the car was in a spot in a whistle stop town of 30 people and I couldn't find it so I finally called the police. They found it. They didn't send me to the morons asylum but if in a bad mood they would have.

Happened in Walmart, management had to help me find it... all that took about 2 hours. No reason.

Happened countless other times. I get lost driving ALL the time , always end up in a store asking them to pull out their smartphone, I don't have one cause that stuff always goes missing too...

and the GPS machines are as inaccurate as the google maps half (or more) of the time. Its not funny but I do get sneered at when I ask out....no therapist understands either.

You have no problems m'lady.

@Shadyglow Oh wow, I think we may be on the same level as far as being directionally challenged.

The first time I can remember losing my car was as a new college student. I parked my car, and walked to XYZ building. My classes were in several different buildings. When I left the last class, I walked outside to get in the car. My car wasn't there. I had to call the security who helped me retrace my steps as he rode me around in the golf cart thru the parking lot, to the building in which my first class was located. Then I found my car.

I met a friend at a concert just a few days after I got my current car.
When the concert was over and I walked in the sea of cars in the parking lot, I realized that I didn't truly know what my car looked like. I would walk up to every car the make and color of mine. I'd be like, wait, do I have a spoiler? Is that how my wheels look? I ended up waiting several minutes for the parking lot to start clearing out before I found it.

Another time, I met a friend at a play downtown. Afterwards, she wanted to go eat. I didn't think I had parked in a good ,safe spot, as to not get towed, so I moved my car after the play and hopped out so fast that I didn't know where I parked it. I figured I'd be ok if I knew I parked in from of XYZ cafe. I walked around in circles downtown for about an hour before I had to call someone because it was about to get dark. So as they drove slowly, I would press the "alarm" buttom on my key fob so that the car would make noise when we got to it. They spotted it before I did lol

@rosyhills I never have a way to ring a key cause I always just leave it in the car. So u are smarter than I . I never lock my car, the windows are open half the time. So u are way smarter than I
