It just feels so lowly and wrong. I can sort myself out thank you very much.
Sometime's the missus doesn't like it, and she never ever trusts me after i've read the map ("it's just round here and past the next junction" - "it's not, you're taking us miles in the wrong directi... oh. You
were right")
I had a bloke stop and ask me for directions once, he'd got a map, but obviously his missus had pecked him to stop, so i gave him random directions that ended with "drive to the top of the forbidden forest, park up at the castle and waiting for Igor to come out".
His missus looked at me aghast
, and I could see him trying not to laugh. I like to hope she now trusts his map reading skills and won't resort to risking asking random strangers ever again.
