Never Ask For Directions...

Please be smart and never ask for directions. If you're driving and find yourself lost, first rule, don't ask for directions. Statistics have shown, that 97.2% of the time, the person giving you directions is lying to you. That means only 2.8% of the people asked are actually giving you legitimate directions. Are you willing to chance those odds? I'm not, so keep driving until you get there. Don't worry, eventually you will. If you are in a situation where a passenger or passengers constantly insist you stop and ask for directions, just ignore them. You're driving and you're in control. And by ignoring, I mean do not acknowledge them it all, it will only make you stronger. If you have to stop for gas or a potty break and the passenger(s) have really made it known that they are "directioniters," then ditch them. First chance you get, ditch them big time. They'll appreciate you later when it's their turn in the drivers seat and they're lost.
Before you go out the door, don't get on Map Quest or Google Maps, they'll only confuse you. Those sites are littered with pop up ads and spyware. You're far safer if you leave the expert navigation to yourself. I also highly recommend that you steer clear of GPS devices and navigation systems for your car. The "voice" that is supposedly giving you directions, well that's not a computerized voice, that's a real person giving you bad advice from central command in Lincoln Nebraska. This goes back to the fact that 97.2% of people are lying to you. What makes the GPS Nav systems so corrupt? It's that you paid for your wrong directions you dumb dumb. And Onstar, don't even get me started, who do you think locks the car door with your keys in the car, certainly not you. If they can unlock them, then they can lock them.
I hope these tips will help you when you find yourself in the uncanny situation of being lost. But before I go, remember what do you do when someone asks you for directions? That's right, you lie to them. Keep the 97.2% alive, it's tough love but it will only make us stronger.
