I give wrong directions to tourists on purpose if they can’t correctly pronounce the destination.

@BizSuitStacy happened to our family in Wichita one time when bussing first started there. We were coming back from Missouri and there was a detour, we had to go through Wichita and stopped at a gas station and my uncle asked for direction on how to get back on the highway. The attendant pointed and said “You go that way”. We did and got even more lost. When we got home and turned on the news they were showing Wichita and the hostilities due to the start of bussing there. Sad to say but I have never wanted to visit Wichita after that.

@cherokeepatti Similar thing happened to a group of us on a business trip years ago in Philadelphia. Four of us in a rental car got lost in the city. We found a cop and asked what part of town we were in...he said, "bad." He told us to follow him, and helped us get back to our hotel.

@BizSuitStacy glad you made it back safely. Sometimes tourists die when they get lost in cities

@BizSuitStacy you're not likely to get shot in Cornwall if you take a wrong turn tho.
