Yesterday I was reminded of a certain condition I seem to have which disables my sense of direction anytime someone asks me for directions in the city. For some reason, if I'm walking and someone stops me and asks me how to get somewhere, I just blank. Then of course after I give them the wrong directions and start to walk away it occurs to me that they just need to go one block in the opposite direction.
Hopefully, I'm not the only one that suffers from this condition. Maybe it's being put on the spot that hinders my directional sense. And it happened again yesterday on the train. I gave out the wrong directions yet again. Luckily I was able to correct myself before sending this woman with baby in stroller roaming around the city.
