Have you ever been lost?

[dousedfirepants]

I am the king of getting lost. All of my friends can vouch for my title.

Just give me a car, a circuitous road, and a dark night, and I'll be lost for hours.
Unfortunately for me, I panic very easily when I get lost...

I have a remarkable sense of direction. I may have to feel my way around a place the first time but after one time, I have the lay of the land. BTW, I always use a map. It is amazing to me how many folks can't read a map.

I don't get lost driving. After driving once, I usually remember easily.

I did get lost as a kid at Target once. I had dropped a ball or something and chased it, resulting in getting lost. All I remember doing was walking up and telling them I was lost. Didn't get upset or anything.

Very good sense of direction here. Can find my way even in a foreign land. I memorise buildings and landmarks.

 

[cityboy-stl]

I have no sense of direction whatsoever. I can get lost in a car wash.

I got lost on some backroads once. Long, windy roads in a wooded area at night is not the best place to be. Not to mention there are basically no streetlights at all. Of course, I'm always up for an adventure.

You'll never get lost
Wherever you go,
No matter how distant or far.
As long as you know
All the places you aren't,
You always will know where you are.





I wrote this many, many years ago. First time I've ever had the chance to use it!!

I like that!

 

[Spiff]

Yes I do, people tell me to get lost all the time.

 

[ineffablejk]

I get lost driving so often I figure an extra half of an hour to get where I am going.

I hate getting lost, especially if I have to be somewhere at a specific time.

Also, I hate asking for directions and then either I get wrong directions, or I wrote them down wrong.

So...........

I bought a TomTom and now all my problems of getting lost are gone.

 

[Croynan]

if truth be told, that is the current state (of mind) i am living in right now, and if you think i am kidding you are sadly mistaken.

but then again, what do i know?

being a local village idiot, trust me i know from where i speaketh.

I never get lost. However, I frequently end up where I hadn't intended to go.

And a curious fact, every time I've ever been unable to find my proper destination in San Francisco, I always end up in Northbeach. I was trying to find a spot whose address I had miswritten, and I spent an hour driving around in different directions trying to find it, and I found myself in Washington Square five different times. It was rather amusing. Eventually I gave up and went home.

I never get lost, because people always tell me where to go!

Getting lost on the way to Sofia Airport at 4am when you don't speak Bulgarian is not fun.

Once, driving a 3 wheeler in the woods when I was 16. It took me 2 hours to find my way back and I flipped the 3 wheeler 8 times on top me. Bruised and exhausted I found my friends and they were all mad at me since they didn't get a turn to ride it.

 

[MidnightPrism]

I'm always lost... oh well

I was about 15 and at a wedding reception. The hall was isolated in the middle of flat countryside and you could 'see for miles'. It was a warm sunny afternoon and the party was boring, so I wandered off.

Just a little way. I remember going to have a look at a single standing tree, and I was still in sight of the doorway I had just left. It seemed like about 10 minutes that I spent admiring the tree before I decided I'd better get back - I didn't wish to appear rude.

It seems that I had been gone for three hours. My uncle had organised a search for me, and two policemen turned up.

The police and the locals were very calm about it, and somebody said, "This sort of thing happens around here from time to time."

The mystery was never solved. Narnia or ET abduction?

I was lost in Aruba for about 5 hours when I was 4.

My parents later found me on the playground in the adjacent hotel
