Quotes For People Who Get Lost In Parking Lots

Alright, I'm going to be real with you guys: I have absolutely zero sense of direction.

This isn't anything new, either. I've always been like this. I can distinctly remember taking mini road trips with my mom when I was a kid and claiming the front seat, which inevitably meant I was left in charge of the print-out directions (remember those?).

Honestly, bless my mom for thinking she could actually trust me with shouting out the right directions at the right time because I never did, and we were literally always getting lost.

It's actually interesting that I ended up this way, because my dad is the exact opposite.

That man used to study maps for fun.

When we would drive anywhere, even if just a few cities away for one of my brothers' hockey games, he'd already have a detailed outline of the place in his head and would have the most perfect route planned so we could get there in record time.

*I*, on the other hand, don't even know how to get to the mall without using a GPS.

To be fair, that can probably be chalked up to the fact that I only just moved here a year or so ago, but I really should have figured out my way around by now.

I shouldn't have to keep using Google Maps to get me somewhere when it's only a five minute drive away. But here we are.

Maybe one day I'll figure out how to get around by myself, but until then...please don't try to give me directions.

Seriously. I barely know street names, let alone which way is "South."

If you insist on trying to tell me how to get somewhere, kindly use landmarks so I can at least have some idea of where I'm going. Tell me it's beside that one McDonald's where we saw the woman in the bee costume throw up in her take-out bag and I'll know exactly where that is.
