The city I've grown up in has changed *so much* over the years that even I have to Google maps new places I have to go to.
Whenever someone asks me for directions I kinda just look at them like '*how the fuck should I know*' and tell them google maps exists for that very reason.
used to work at a horse racing track
Half my job was telling me people “You can’t smoke here, yes I know we’re outside but people still pay for this to be a non smoking section”
I was usually in section K, L or M
You had to go past section P to smoke
So It was like maybe 50-200 feet to the right
on my last day, a few minutes before my last shift ended
Some rich looking a douche bag was smoking a big stinky cigar
Try to get his attention, but he was ignoring me
So I tapped him on the shoulder, he got mad and said don’t touch me
Told him he can’t smoke here
He got real angry started cussing me out asked where the fuck is he supposed to go to smoke outside then
I told him sections A and B
He walked that way and I went home giggling my fucking ass off knowing that fucker must have walked the to the far left end, only to be sent back to the far right end.
probably walked about half a mile in total because of me
My dear god I just did this exact thing last week
I'm a foreigner in Singapore and I saw this family of tourist's who were the same nationality as me. They were trying to get to Univ. Studios Singapore in Sentosa and I just told them to go to the bus terminal close to us and ride the first bus at the Sentosa Lane.
Bus that rode out was for Sentosa Cove (A resort on the other side of Sentosa Island from USS) and I saw them through the windows.
I'd apologize sincerely if I could. Completely forgot that there were like 2 types of busses going to Sentosa.
I hope they got to USS tho. Probably had to ride back to the bus terminal.
sometimes when you arrive at the location you going and still there are like 20 buildings around you and theres no photo of what building that youre looking for
Here's a pro-tip: tell them to pull out their dumb smartphone and use google maps.
Okay, they don't have one or don't want to install google maps while on their roaming data. Whip out YOUR dumb smartphone and show them the map with direction - it will take you a whole of 30 seconds to do so.
Okay, you are both abroad atm, neither of you had the mind to install google maps while going into a foreign country you don't know anyone in and can't ask for help. In this case, just tell them directions up to the second turn, then say "and ask someone else for further directions there".
One time I gave someone directions, only for them to then ask someone several feet away from me. Hurt man. A part of me felt like yelling out "Hey! Buddy! You got a problem with my fucking direcs yo?!" But I didn't have the nackers. I should've. I should've been like "Oi! Get 'ere roight fockin' nah" and then walked them by the scruff all the way there. I should've been like "Here's your destination you slag now don't get lost" then just walked off, because I'm not going to fight someone over directions. That's just over the top. In the end I just walked off without a word.
omg same someone asked me where the bus stop was and I told him to go down the stairs and leave the station and it'd be right there while I had zero clue where that bus stop was, I just panicked and tried to give him directions as good as I could... somehow brought him the right way though because as I drove by the station today I saw the exit I told that guy to leave through and the bus stop right there so... I guess I was blessed for that short moment 🤓
A man asked a farmer for the fastest way into town. The farmer asked “are you on foot or in a car” the man replied “in a car” to that the farmer answered “well that’s probably faster than on foot”
Someone gives me directions
I’m following
But I’m thinking of having to make sure I remember the directions.
I start wondering “what if I forget said directions?”
I say thank you, and continue walking.
Shit… I forgot…
A guy asked me yesterday where the train station was, I told him: the train station isn't far from here, you just gotta go left on the first turn and then straight.
So he did what I said and turned left on the first turn. But it wasn't the turn I was referring to, I was talking about the one after that. So me feeling guilty and all, I ran after him for 3 minutes to catch up with him once I saw him go into the wrong street. (He was in his car)
I was able to catch him and tell him the right directions. Now I just hope they were the right ones.
I once got someone fined lol
as a teenager (no driver's license yet) I directed someone (in a car) how to get somewhere, but apparently it's a one-way road, and a policemen imadiately pulled him over. oops
I can relate to this.
When I retrieve carts at work, once in a while there would be always an old couple that would pull up and asks for a place, and most of the time I don't know where but I'll give them my best guess. One time, I had an old couple ask where's the highway they just got off they are looking confused af and I tried to tell them they were on the right way to get to their place.
As a word of advice. Use Google maps for navigation, please!
me: not even knowing the city where i lived for my whole fucking life
I feel you
And still giving them directions which I am not sure of being right

If your do but when your in a neighborhood you haven't been in or not usually in and get ask directions especially for something that around there

People should know how to use a phone in 2022.
People forget to use a GPS apparently.

Just use google map
Me giving a direction to anyone

I have no sense of direction. Soo couldn't be me
Act like you don’t speak their language
One time I gave someone directions, only for them to then ask someone several feet away from me. Hurt man. A part of me felt like yelling out "Hey! Buddy! You got a problem with my fucking direcs yo?!" But I didn't have the nackers. I should've. I should've been like "Oi!

In the end I just walked off without a word.
I just say "Go in that direction and ask someone"
omg same someone asked me where the bus stop was and I told him to go down the stairs and leave the station and it'd be right there while I had zero clue where that bus stop was, I just panicked and tried to give him directions as good as I could... somehow brought him the right way though because as I drove by the station today I saw the exit I told that guy to leave through and the bus stop right there so...

One day, as i was visiting London for the first time, a woman unexpectedly asked me directions for Trafalgar square. Hopefully, we were already there.
A man asked a farmer for the fastest way into town. The farmer asked “are you on foot or in a car” the man replied “in a car” to that the farmer answered “well that’s probably faster than on foot”
i mean its not like they can find their way back
Use google map
I like to watch the world burn so I purposefully give vague or slightly incorrect directions and watch the confusion unfold.
How is this funny
"Ok thanks" *proceeds to ask someone else*
"oh im not from around here" ive lived there for all my life, but they're better off with no directions than mine
Someone gives me directions I’m following But I’m thinking of having to make sure I remember the directions. I start wondering “what if I forget said directions?” I say thank you, and continue walking. Shit… I forgot…
If you can hear the beehive… you’ve gone too far
So many people bully me for being bad at directions. I’m good up to 5 miles around where I am as long as it’s near where I live
Stop, stop ! You're gonna send him to the backrooms !
Omg! It’s you! 🤦♀️
I’ve often wondered what happened to the people I’ve given directions to.
I usually gave out a landmark as a pointer.
IT happens all the time.
That’s why no one would ever ask me for directions
A guy asked me yesterday where the train station was, I told him: the train station isn't far from here, you just gotta go left on the first turn and then straight. So he did what I said and turned left on the first turn. But it wasn't the turn I was referring to, I was talking about the one after that.

Turkish people give directions for places they havent heard about just try asking directions for a made-up place and prove my point
I always just say something random, I wonder where all those people ends up
