Things you've been surprised you've had to explain at work

Growing up in Cleveland, I’ve always had a good sense of direction, because I could tell which way the lake was, and that’s north.

Me from a recent thread that included a bunch of digressions about problems with North-awareness:

Your geographical misconceptions

My wife, like most women, is a little bit geo-directionally challenged compared to the average guy. Not lost; just a little handicapped vs Joe Average. I’m a navigation whizkid. She grew up in Tucson. Which is a basin surrounded by 4 sets of very differently shaped mountains more or less aligned with the cardinal directions. The roads are mostly a grid and between the mountains and the eternal sunshine, figuring out which way in North is not hard. So we get hitched and she moves to Las Veg…
