Are you a directions expert or do you get lost alot?

I am pretty good at following directions and maps. If I do need help I will stop and ask and if not sure I will have them tell me again until I am clear on the directions. Sometimes I might write them down as they tell me if it is a little more complicated. My husband on the other hand will just go and go unless I tell him to pull in somewhere and I will get out and ask.

I generally have a great sense of direction. When my husband and I get in an argument over direction, 99% of the time I am right. I do sometimes get turned around though. That usually happens when I fly into a town I don't know at night or when I come out of an underground parking structure at night on a different side of the building than the one I entered through.

If I get specific directions or a map then I usually won't get lost. However, if I should happen to get lost, then I will stop and ask somebody for directions. As for my husband, he uses a sat nav now, but before he got it, he would regularly lose his way and would never even think of asking somebody for directions.

I have a terrble sense of direction! spin me in a circle and I do not know where I am or which way I came from. It is terribly when I pull off to a rest area and do not know which direction I came in from! I stop for directions often - keep an atlas in the car - when I ask directions I take a pen and pad with me - because I will zone out when listening if I do not and not remember what I was told.

I'm an ace in the hole when it comes to getting around a place, not to be conceited or anything. It just seems like I have a built in compass and if I have seen the place on the map, I can usually get there. I have often been told that someone could turn me lose in a forest that I have never been to many miles away from home and would be able to walk back with no problem. I don't think it matters whether you're a male or female. Some men have no sense of direction and I have also met women who are the same way. I myself drove through the city of Boston while reading a map because my male navigator wasn't doing his job. This was my first time in that city too. It was challenging, but I was complimented when I got us where we needed to be safe and sound. LOL Thanks for starting this discussion, and have a great day!

well,i am good at getting directions or following a map. And no i dont think a man or woman makes it any different...infact some men get even more confused and lost as they are thought to know the way (being a man) and just leading to the wrong way!lol

oh I used to get lost all the time! I hated having to read signs to try to figure ou where I should go ..and sometimes you are on the left line and suddenly you see the sign at the last minute and you should have turned right!! lol Now I bought a TomTom (gps) and I never get lost anymore :)))

I am an expert. I never get lost. I am not a fan of beingl lost, for anything. If I can get directions to and from anyplace, that is what I will do.
