Directions

Have you ever noticed how people are generally very bad at giving directions? And, as a corollary to that, most people are really bad at following directions? Waiting impatiently behind a woman at a convenience store where I had stopped to buy Tylenol (headache here-- move it along please) the customer was looking for someplace that the clerk was doing an adequate job of explaining how to get to. I knew where she was going, and about halfway through the directions, the customer basically was wanting to leave. Now, I really did want to buy my Tylenol and get the Hades out of the Quickie Mart, but still, I felt bad that I was pretty sure customer lady was going to get halfway there and be totally lost.

But I didn't offer any help, because I'm generally very bad at giving directions. I am just good at making fun of others who do it better than myself. Hey. It's a skill. Just like any other.
