teresafloyd[Error: unknown template qotd]My spouse detests asking for directions, but will do so if absolutely necessary. I've seen in maybe 8 times in 24 years. Seven of those times don't count because they were when he was delivering pizzas and had been given incomplete or incorrect address information.
However, when we drive in a strange city, he will accept me navigating and giving directions while following the map. Our whole family though has this nearly unerring sense of where we are and where North is. It used to be fun to take my sons to familiar places by different routes. They'd almost always say something like, "I know we're going to Grampy's, but it feels like we're headed the wrong way."
The joke in his family is that they never admit to being lost, but the will sometimes admit to "being a little confused there for a while."
