12 things The Directionally Challenged Will Understand
Some of us lack an inner compass.
If any of the below gives you all the feels, you are not alone.
Unless you’re in the woods.
- When exiting a building, any building, be it a skyscraper or the damn mall, you need a couple of seconds to figure out which way to turn.

2. You HATE that when you ask someone for directions, they tell you to go east. Or west. Or any cardinal direction. If you knew where east was, you wouldn’t be asking, amiright? This is why you rely on your spirit animal, the GPS. Also, what is cardinal?

3. You experience a true sense of et, tu brute-level of betrayal when said GPS freezes.

4. You feel a sense of panicked helplessness when a stranger asks you for directions.

5. You get that same helplessness along with a sense of irritation when a friend from out of town figures you can be their city guide for the week. Don’t they know you?!

6. You’ve spent more on Uber than you care to admit for embarrassingly short distances.

7. The sun rises in the West and sets in the East. No… wait…

8. You’d be a terrible James Bond. You watch those movies with the knowledge that you’d walk off a building and land on a pile of jagged bricks within the first 2 minutes.

9. The concept of camping/hiking/frolicking in the deep woods is a f&?%ing nightmare. There’s no reception. I repeat, NO RECEPTION.
You know what there are though? Bears and snakes. You’re welcome.

10. You’ve googled directional-dyslexia in your downtime and wondered if there was a tax break. There isn’t, just FYI.

11. You find yourself empathizing with Michael Scott.
12. It takes you a good few seconds to deduce whether you lose a day or gain a day whilst traveling. By the time you’ve got it, your travel buddies have totally figured out that you’re the weakest link.
