Are you good/bad in giving or taking directions?

[Pinay_ako]

🤣 if this isn’t me 🤦‍♀️

That’s why I take my own 🗺 map, old school. 🤣

[qwert1234]

I was on field work when I was on-job training. I go to like 3-4 clients across several cities on one day. I had never been lost. So I guess I am good at taking directions.

Giving... I do not know. No one came back to me to fight me because they got lost.. Or maybe... they just got, you know... lost. :

[User_69]

I am expert on it like a navigation.

[Sour-rose]

taking directions- horrible

giving them- if i know the area. Otherwise, you betta piss off and figure it out on your own. You gonna be trying to find me with brass knuckles once you realize I was just trying to help but I've made it so much more worse

[LostGirl9]

Good at giving directions, really really bad at taking them, but it’s probably because I don’t pay much attention and always forget

[Guardian45]

I'm the same

[Autember]

I use Google maps for literally everything! I like to know my ETA, speed traps, traffic, etc.

Bur direction wise, I'm not very good at remembering what people tell me.. but typically after making a drive once or twice, I can have it memorized pretty well.

[Aerissa_Jade]

Sure... this one time was given directions in farming part of Washington state, was given directions... to go exit # then go 7 miles north on state road # then look for the red barn on the west side, then go half a mile and your there.

See I'm great at following directions.

I can give directions just as good and just like that.

[melanieeeB]

I'm good at it, but I don't think others really understand my description of directions tho 😂
Cause in my head I have the city like picture wise and I could never tell you the name of the street but more how it looks like or what store is nearby

[Pinay_ako]

Yea when I give directions, I’ll tell them the main intersections and a landmark. If they still get lost, that’s on them 😆.

[KostasKouvalis]

Bad at both. Which is ironic because I have a geography degree.

I can like lead someone to a specific location, but when I have to explain it I get confused and always give them the most complicated route😂

[Pinay_ako]

Ironic 😂

[Rania05]

Sometimes I remember people whom I gave directions and pray to Allah for their safety and forgiveness to myself 🙏
I'm bad at it and it's always when they fade from the suitable distance where I can call them back, that the right details dawn me

[RavVid]

Pretty good but it is becoming an unnecessary art now with smart phones.

[VIVANT]

Until your phone leads you into a blue barn or a swamp 😆

[Pinay_ako]

@VIVANT even the gps tells you to make an illegal u turn or jump off a cliff 😂 wtf

[VIVANT]

😂 🤣😂😬

[RavVid]

@VIVANT Yes Siri wanted me to dive along unmade roads in a circle at a former airport being converted to a shopping center. I'd still be there today if I hadn't pulled rank. At least I found out where Police helicopter parked (which I had never wondered about).

When I called the store to clarify which main road they were off, it turned out they were worse at directions than Siri.

I don't even want to talk about what google maps has done to me.

So you are both right.

[VIVANT]

It’s hilarious as a thought but in the moment to sucks 🥵

[Zolly99999]

Some old timers it's brutal getting directions from then. . " drive past the fire station that's not there any more, turn left at the fork then head towards the old tree that's was cut down,,"

But over all I'm good with directions.. I'm a service technician I'd starve to death if I wasn't lol

[wingattebaby16]

i suck, even with a printed out copy of google maps!

and my husband only loses his temper when i try to give directions like when we go out to buy something from Facebook Marketplace.

He wants a printed map!

[ZackBan]

I can take directions easily, giving is a little trickier because it depends on how well the other person is geologicaly savy but in general i know how to point out a path to follow

[QuietRunner]

I need landmarks and left turn or right turn

Don't tell me go up three streets turn left, then right, then left - I'll get lost

Turn left at library, go two stop lights, then left - works better

[Pinay_ako]

I get lost when people start using east and west 😂

[spartan55]

Want to see some high comedy? Ask a smart ass Gen Z bruh to use only a paper map...😂 😂

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

I am really really good with directions. Just one go and the mental map of for that road and direction gets imprinted in my mind, just like Google Maps bird view.

[NathanDavis]

yes I am... even with the people that are always like "can you please take me there, I just can't... "

[BlueScorpio]

Bad. Very bad. I still get lost even with a GPS cause if I'm not familiar with the area, roads, etc. I get lost pretty easily.

[Wade12345]

I used to work as a pizza delivery driver a long time ago. I can find anything in terms of driving provided the person gave the correct and adequate directions in the first place.

[VIVANT]

Depends if I’m completely unaware of the area, or if I have some orientation , also, the psychological state of the direction giver 😂

[VIVANT]

I’m good at giving directions.

[ChiTown33]

I think it depends how intently I'm engaged. Sometimes I have a habit of just assuming I know what I'm doing or where I'm going. Overconfidence hoses me sometimes lol.

[Lucy68]

It depends but I'm pretty good with directions when it comes to following them. But like I said it all depends to be honest

[sage2021]

We don't need no stinking map!! I'm good 😊 at giving directions.

[Emilyis]

I think I give good directions and am fairly good at listening to them. hahaha
