Would you ask a toll-booth operator for directions? - Seacrest - 04-08-2009
Well?
Would you?
In this day and age of GPS nav and mapquest?

I'm a guy. I follow the Guy code. We NEVER ask for directions, unless our wife makes us do it.

But we are HAPPY spending a few hundred for a GPS to tell us where to go.

No, but I would be the guy behind you blowing his horn while you inconvenienced the 20 cars behind you : )

:agree:
I have a great sense of direction and never get lost. A might confused at times, but never lost.
I never thought much of GPS units until I bought one for my Dad. Those things are not only useful, but tons of fun! I'm betting they will be standard equipment in the near future.

If it's something ordinary, like the nearest hotel, town or major attraction, they'll automatically spit out basic directions without a second thought. I would not ask them for directions to anything more specific. That's not the time or place for complicated conversations, honey.
