Why won't men ever ask for directions? I have spent time driving around with my husband driving up and down every street, getting frustrated and STILL he won't stop for directions! I even say I will go ask. NOPE! Is there some sort of secret man rule that says you have to find your destination by yourself or you are not a man??
I think the act of a man asking for directions is equivalent to stating that he left his nut sack in his wife's purse.
I have observed this too many times. My dad must think that if he rolled his window down and asked for directions that every person from here to Timbuktu would automatically recognize him as the guy who "had to ask for directions" and break into fits of laughter.
This should fall under the same category as "hogging the remote control." You are SO RIGHT - I used to do back flips in the passengers seat, but the moment we could print our maps off the web and then got a GPS -- happy days were restored. Thank you for technology.
I have an atlas and with the mapping programs on the internet, how can anyone get lost anymore???
Could there be a physiological reason men seem to get lost more then women??
I simply don't get lost...ever. I have a strange sense of direction, almost like I have a compass built inside me.
Now theres a theory....
Just a couple of weekends ago my dh asked me to go ask someone where this park we were trying to find was, I told him to ask for himself, he says, no, I have to go outside, and runs out the door....
So, I ask the man, and explain to him what I am looking for and where I have been and I was like oh I was just there , all I had to do is turn.
he looked at me like I was a complete idiot. So, I said, well ya know, I went all the way down that street and there was construction, no sign for the park and I didn't turn, how bout that.... Man, now I'll just go back and turn then...and I'll be there, right?
That'll teach him to try and sell me chicken gizzards at ten am... jerk
Thats why men dont want to ask for directions. they dont want people to think that they are idiots...
So, the man says, oh yea, thats what you do, hope you have a great day! I guess he realized he had offended me...jerk
