[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went on vacation with my cousin. I booked the hotels in March. Begged her to make the tentative plans with me. She just said she trusted me. When we arrived at our destination, she wouldn't stop asking strangers on the street for directions. I had everything mapped out, and a strange guy selling newspapers told us to go the wrong way. If the concierge at our hotel recommended a restaurant, she would agree to go, then stop and ask strangers on the street where to go. Then she would complain about the food. I tried using Yelp to reassure her. I tried using mobile apps and GPS for directions to reassure her. I felt like I was watching her have a nervous breakdown the way she would only listen to directions on the street by strangers.

What would you have done in that situation if you were me? I am used to traveling by myself for work as a woman. I like to appear confident and poised and know where I am going and walking.  [/quote]
Oh dear, I feel for you. My husband does it, too. I think it is embarrassing and exposes us as non-locals that can be scammed and/or robbed.[/quote]
