    I had an interview with one of those agencies a few months ago, and the lady conducting the interview laughed when i hesitated over the "would you ask for directions, if you were lost?" question. I wouldn't tbh. She said most guys who answered that question wouldn't ask for directions. I wonder why.

    I wouldn't think badly of anyone who asked me for directions, but I still wouldn't ask.

    This is a different subject, but the question reminds me of visiting the home of the parents of a college girfriend, years ago. I went into the kitchen and asked "can I help with something?", thinking I'd be asked to chop onions or whatever. The Mum goes "Oh yes, please! can you make a Caprese?" and handed me a packet of tomatoes, and some mozarella balls (??).

    "No problem!" I said, mystified. Now this was in 2008, long before the iPhone. I just decided to put two-and-two together, A Caprese must be a tomato on a slice of Mozarella? No, it isn't. I even cut the tomato into little heart-shapes, really proud of myself.

    They were very nice about it, althought probably as bewildered as I was.

    Some people just hate admitting they don't know something, whether it's directions or anything else.

    I find women are really poor at knowing the difference between left and right.
