Is it a flux in the time warp?

<valleyGalAccent>like, OMG</valleyGalAccent>

So there I was, just sitting outside in the lot of the lube place catching some 70+° November SoCal rays while waiting for the car jocks to change my oil this afternoon...

When, lo and behold, a young, studly, maybe 20-ish turk .. err.. dude.. guy, tatted out about his neck and arms [well done, too], rolls into the lot in his SUV and starts yellin' out over to me...

With the din of surface-street traffic drowning out his voice, I went towards his vehicle to hear him better and what he said to me I just could NOT believe!

See, Young Turk .......


























































ASKED FOR DIRECTIONS!!

I would've fainted if the lot hadn't been so dirty and oily. =8-|

What does it mean? *besides being lost :P*

[Mickwish]

hehe - I liked your other title for this better, Socal.

Means you must've looked like you knew where you was, and which way was up, SoCal.

Nice to know you didn't appear vacant and lost, isn't it?

Although you ain't a blonde, are you?

Cheers
Mick

LOL Mick

It's kinda hard to see that 'vacant and lost' look I've so perfected while I'm wearing shades.

I'm a redhead this week; blonde was last week*

So he used the old 'directions' ploy to try and pick you up huh?



*I thought of this answer after I replied elsewhere. I like this...it's like take 2

Real men NEVER ask directions. It's the last vestige of the hunting instinct; the thrill of wandering around until you've finally found what you've been looking for.

Where's Knot when you need him? He could explain it much better that I can.

I hate asking for help....I'll even leave a store without finding what I'm looking for before I ask for help

ok, now we're getting someplace... where, I dunno, though.

Do you / Would you guys ask other guys like it's an OK / understood thing to ask another guy?

or

Did he feel it was ok / less threatening to ask me 'cause I'm a woman?

Or is this just a big okie-doke?

FWIW, I wouldn't think less of a guy because he asked for directions. I certainly didn't think less of Young Turk for doing so.

Must be a guy thing.. hmm...

If I'm in desperate straits, I'll ask a gas station guy. But usually if I'm going someplace new I'll get a map off the 'Net before I leave.

That's probably cheating my primitive instincts, but on the 'Net, no one knows you're a dunce who can't find his way out of the garage in the morning.

[John Prophet]

Ill ask without blinking, lol.

[OuTpaTienT]

I'd ask for directions only if I was in dire need (like late for a job interview or something). Otherwise I'd just drive around till I found it. Maybe stop and buy a map. And now with things like "On-Star" and that info phone thingy we can get directions without compromising our masculinity.

Now if I saw a cute chickadee out catching some rays and posing like she wanted to be picked up, then even if I wasn't lost I might stop and ask her for directions...to her place.
