I have an incredibly poor sense of orientation. I’m 35 and have never met anyone with a worse sense of directions. I have to leave for appointments at least an hour early if its not someplace that I am very familiar with. And even then I might get hopelessly lost and return home in frustration.

You’ve never met me. I also have a terrible, terrible sense of direction. I can follow a map just fine, once I figure out which direction I’m facing, but without the map I’m helpless. It’s embarrassing.
