Why are some so stubborn about asking for directions?

1. What. Like the husband? The male?

Women are from Venus....😆

[thbobby]

2. Women are often critical of men for this

Perhaps they don't want to remain lost for hours while the man pretends to not need directions? This is my experience anyway, being a man.

3. Actually, my phone GPS is 99% right

And me (male) with my imbued sense of direction is around 60% right.

We've been in some very interesting places trusting the GPS but it has been generally correct. Best example is yesterday coming back from Portland ME to Northern VT when we were told to get off the major road and take several side ones before getting back on the highway. The accident blocked our normal lanes for several hours.

Still, wouldn't Moses just have needed to follow his star maps without needing GPS or even a compass?

4. I'm pretty sure god was his navigator

Which in hindsight seems to be a poor choice.

5. God always appears bigger in the rear view mirror.

6. Well, of course we all know why they finally admitted women to the astronaut corps.

So that if they got lost, someone would ask for directions.

7. The GPS is one of the BEST...

...inventions EVER!

8. If it wasn't for google maps on my phone

I couldn't make it to my mailbox and back.

9. I explained this all to my lady years ago

I don't want to look stupid to another person. Thank goodness for GPS!

Also, I don't return stuff, unless there was a reason that was unknowable to me at the time of purchase. I don't want to look like a fool who bought something he didn't need, or was too stupid to see an obvious defect. She can't understand that.

11. What izzit w/ you dudes? I got one who says throw it out rather than return something, like bad

or shoddy food.
I have no qualms returning.
Grocery store double your $$ guarantee on meat, produce. Their brands offer refund and then get another brand replacement.
And you can bet shoe leather roasts and such go back!
I don't mind paying high prices for quality.
I'm an El Exigente of food. I rule the roost! 😆

12. Oh, don't....😝

15. I miss gas station maps

When I was a kid in the 60s I was the "navigator" on vacation and had the map

I would calculate the distance to the next town, etc.

16. Aviation navigation was even more fun in the pre-GPS days

The names written on town water towers were an important navigational aid.

17. This is your captain...

Please return to your seats and buckle your seat belts.

We are currently flying at 36,000 feet and will be making a

routine momentary quick descent to about 50 feet.

If you look out to the left you will notice some pretty lewd grafitii on

the water tower


Thank you for flying

... please excuse the release of oxygen masks and the loud siren ....

18. Don't laugh, even the airlines relied on some pretty primitive methods until fairly recently

It wasn't that long ago that virtually every pilot carried an E6B which is essentially an aviation slide rule used for point-to-point navigation calculations. They were even used during the Star Trek missions.
