    Default Do you have a good sense of direction?

    Or do you get lost easily?

    I'd say I'm about average.

    I have a terrible sense of direction and can't even find my car in a parking lot.

    The exception being that I have a great sense of direction in the woods

    I do have a good sense of direction, and navigating is one of the few things I can do well.

    I am very directionally challenged.

    The more I drive (and depend on maps/GPS), the better I got in general (not just on the road), but I used to be terrible. Now I'm much less terrible... I just have some derpy moments.

    Starting on my left with one, your number comes up, you go.

    I am generally pretty good with directions when I am familiar with my surrounding. I do have my moments when I get lost, but that's only when I'm in a new area.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    My sense of direction is pretty dreadful, to be honest. My parents think it is an hilarious joke. I don't.

    My future is fuelled by the fires of words, wit and companionship.

    I get lost really easily, but have a great sense of direction! Somehow I always end up where I wanted to go, despite how lost I got

    .......... It depends on where I am.

    NYC is easy to get turned around in, but I can always remember from which way I came.

    Downtown Nashville is confusing cuz it all goes in a retarded ass circle and one road will turn into 3 other roads before coming full circle or whatever so you have to pay attention. Thankfully downtown Nashville is small, so no matter what direction you take, you're bound to run into the freeway eventually. And from there, I can figure out where to go. Unless I hit 65. IDK 65 too well and get mixed up on if I should take North or South.

    I know my 'hood pretty well like the back of my hand, though. Not in detail, but pretty much all the "side/back" smaller streets will spit you out at either Harding Place, Nolensville Rd, Bell Rd, or Murfreesboro Rd. .. So if for some reason I get screwed up out there, I'll eventually wind up on a street I know.

    I have a good sense of direction, and decades of playing video games has given me an uncanny ability to memorize the layout of buildings, towns, cities, etc. quite quickly.

    Can't remember street names worth a damn though.

    Yea, same as Vivi. I can memorise trout pretty easily and I can tell someone exactly where X building is but no way can I give them street names or w/e

    I got lost on my drive home from work the other day and it freaked me out pretty badly. Especially considering what my job is and the fact that I knew there were rapists just out in that area o.o

    That was a night
