It always amazes me that people can just stand in any direction and know if it's north or south or whatever. Confounds me. So whenever people give me directions, saying things like it's east and then you go south for one block...I just smile and nod because I have no freaking idea what they're talking about. That information is simply not in my head. I ended up walking two miles home. I'm going to buy a compass. Not that I think it will do any good.

Haha, i like the compass idea. Yeah my spatial awareness ain't great either. More than once i've gone to the toilet in a place i don't know say a cafe, restaurant, pub whatever and got lost on the way back. Left friends at a table in a cafe recently announcing i was leaving, got lost ( i know) and nearly ended up back at the table. Another in a social club. Went to the toilet and lost my bearings and nearly ended up behind the bar haha. DOH!!!!
