Cars and Transportation: Lost

Lost

By Anonymous - 14/05/2012 14:22 - Estonia - Tallinn

Today, a friend who I hadn't seen in a while offered to give me a ride. I didn't really know how to give directions to my house, so when we had been driving for a while and it was getting awkward, I just pointed at a random house and pretended to live there. FML

Today, while working as an Uber driver, I asked my passenger for directions and she didn’t know. She was going to her own house. FML

Today, I was following my friend to her house in my car, because I didn't know where it was. I'd been following her for at least an hour when she pulled into a gas station. Turns out I'd been following the wrong car. I have no idea where I am. FML

Today, I went to a concert with a friend of mine. When his dad came to pick him up, I walked towards the car, expecting a ride. His dad told me he didn't have time to drive me home. I'm his neighbour. FML

Today, I was driving back home after hanging out with some friends. I drove pass a woman standing next to a broken down car. I felt bad, so went back and offered her a ride home. Turns out it wasn't her car and she was a hooker. FML

Today, a delivery driver called me, wanting directions in a city that's halfway across the state from where I live. He insisted he was calling the right number (he wasn't), so I had to explain slowly that I don't live there, don't know where he is, and couldn't help him. He responded, "Fuck you, then," and hung up. FML

Today, I was driving and someone was following me across the city and wouldn't let up, so I drove past my house, thinking it was a stalker. Eventually I lost them on the highway. It wasn't until I'd gotten back home that I remembered that my 'stalker' was a coworker I'd invited over for lunch. FML

Today, I was leaving the car wash when I saw my friend walking on the sidewalk. I pulled over next to her and asked if she wanted a ride. Only after getting a face full of the soda she was drinking did I realize I was talking to a complete stranger. FML

Today, my exchange student asked me for a ride to a party at a friend's house that I didn't know about. When I said, "Oh, just let me change", she replied, "I just need the ride, you're not invited." FML

Today, my car broke down. I had a two mile, up-hill walk ahead of me. About half way up the hill, a car beeped. Thinking they were poking fun at my misfortune, I began to curse and use obscene gestures, only to find out that it was my neighbor asking if I needed a ride. She drove off. FML

Today, I went to visit a friend I hadn't seen in ages who lives alone out in the country. I arrived and found the front door unlocked but no one was home. I went in anyway and helped myself to some food. Then a family I had never seen before came in, and I realized it wasn't my friend's house. FML

You should know how to give directions to your house.

You should have told him to keep turning left and see how long it would take him to notice you had no idea what you were doing.

How do you not know how to get home??

If they don't know where they are, it would be difficult to know how to get home.

It's possible OP was taken somewhere unfamiliar and therefore didn't know how to direct her companion to her house. I know a few people who observe their surroundings differently than other people and thusly wouldn't be able to give street directions to any place, let alone their own house. That doesn't mean she's stupid or doesn't know HOW to get to her house. Why do you have to be so judgmental?

So how does the OP get there normally, hypothetically? By flight? Teleportation? Burrowing underground? Are these likelier than "Walking alongside the roads in a series of turns"?

I must say, its hard for me to fully comprehend what must have been going through your mind OP. I learned at an early age how to read maps and figure out not only where I am going, and how to get there; bus routes, tubes / subways, even the maps in the malls that lay out the stores for you. It came in rather handy when the military taught me how to read theirs as well. So for me to find myself in this type of situation is a bit beyond my full comprehension. As a suggestion, next time as your friend if they know where your street is (I'm playing off the assumption that, unlike some of the knuckle heads above, you do know your address) before they start off. If they do, you should be able to get close. If they don't, then you know that you need to find someone that does. Police officers, firefighters, and most other public safety folks would be more than happy to help. If they were a friend, they would understand your predicament. If they aren't a friend, they will laugh mercilessly at you behind your back. Either way, it has to be better than being dropped off at a random house with no idea how to get home.

And you don't know how to give directions to your house because...? You've forgotten where you live? Good job you deserve it next time pay attention on how you arrive at your house everyday.
