Should I be the one to mention the gender aspect. You know - the map reading one

No, never mention that or the disability about asking for directions.

My Sister in law has managed to go the wrong way on a "local" motorway for quite a while without realising. WTF - does no-one read signs.

Some folk are geographically challenged.

My wife went a full circuit of the M25 once when all she needed to do was go three junctions anti-clockwise, she claims the thought you could only go one way around it.

She is now a Geography teacher.

That must have taken 1/2 a day at least?. Took me over an hour to do 2 junctions and that was 10 years ago..

About 3 hours, I think she was lucky.

A friend of mine has a gender division i her relationship. "He does the money I do the maps, that way we don't get lost and we don't go broke"

The best known one is the limo driver who was supposed to take the daughter of a Chelsea director from Cambridgeshire to a home match, he punched the details into the satnav and a couple of hours later delivered her to the site of the Battle of Stamford Bridge.

Brothers wife is similarly challenged. She once left Manchester to drive to South Wales and was past the Blackpool exit of the M6 before she realised something was wrong!

I never get lost, but sometimes I'm not quite sure where I am.
Just treat it as an opportunity to discover places you would not have found otherwise

I sent my wife to a pampering session in mayfair. Afterwards she punched in the home address on the satnav and a few hours later (she should have been home.within an hour), I got a phonecall from her. She told me she went in the opposite direction to where the sat.nav told her to go.

"Why's that?" I asked her.
She replied that she didn't know and asked what she should.do next. I told her to follow the sat nav to the letter and eventually she got back home.

Later she told me she wanted to see what would happen if she didn't follow the sat nav.

I don't mind getting lost for say 5 minutes, and then panick sets in.
