[Technology] When was the last time you were asked for directions?

[jonnyrovers]

I can't remember this happening to me for years. SatNav & Smart Phones have killed it. Used to qualify as your good deed for the day.

Three times in the last week or two, maybe you're too busy cutting people up?

Today.

I was asked for directions on how to fit a fan to an electric oven.

I'm asked directions reasonably often - it's certainly not a rare event. I ask directions pretty regularly too - particularly trying to locate cricket grounds in Sussex, all of which seem to be extremely well hidden.

I take GREAT joy in sending people in the wrong direction.
Makes you wonder how people get themselves dressed in the morning if they don’t know where they’re going..
****witts.

A couple of seasons ago we were playing Birmingham City at the Amex, a group of Brummies at Brighton station asked me where the sea was. I pointed them in the right direction down Queens Road. Just keeping going down all the way, I said, until your feet get wet.

Gosh, I thought, how could one man have so much wit.

2 weeks ago in France by two cyclists. I was chuffed I knew where they wanted to go, and gave them correct instructions. The old brain isn't dead yet.

Very rarely here but was asked quite regularly on holiday abroad. I guess that's to be expected though.

It’s refreshing to hear that you know where your trousers are on a daily basis.

So it’s just me that doesn’t get asked. Now I’ve got a complex.

I loved it when someone asked me if the train stopped at Preston Park and I said YES when it was FIRST stop East Croydon or sent them to Eastbourne when they wanted WORTHING

Earlier today I was sat outside Poundland in HH and a chap asked the way to the station

I ask for directions quite frequently. I find it quicker and more convenient than looking it up on my phone to be honest. Plus it's nice to talk to people.

Same, I work down in Kent a lot and find it much easier to ask someone where something is.
