Do you ask for directions when driving?

I know its a sort of standing joke that men wont ask for directions but, will you? Or do you just trust your SatNav? I don't have one - I usually check the RAC routefinder, compare it with my map and then work out my own route. If I think I've gone wrong, I stop, look for a road name or sign and then re-check the map. There's no point in me asking anyone because, by the time they've told me a couple of turns, I've forgotten the first bit

I have always heard that men will not stop and ask directions,but I will admit if I get lost and I do not know anyone who can tell me where I am I will always stop at the nearest gas station and get directions to where ever I am going because I would rather stop and ask,instead of ending up getting even more lost than I already am, because no one likes to be lost.

I actually do stop and ask for directions but in cases where I am completely clueless as to where I am. Within the city, before I go out and drive to a location I'm not familiar with, I just check the map and list down street names and landmarks. I still ask a couple of bystanders and cops where to go if all else fails.
But then, if I drive to a remote location like a province, and I had to visit my family/friends inside a village of some sort with lots of turns, I'd just stop and try to ask from stores/public transportation (if any) and even bystanders. I usually have good instincts and most of the time, I get there on my own.

I have to be really lost or really frustrated to stop and ask for directions. Usually if I get lost I have either not gotten directions or the person has given me wrong directions. I went to pick up a puppy from a lady a few weeks ago and she gave me the most backwoods stupid directions I have ever heard. I finally found a little store and there was a man in there that knew where the road was I was looking for. Like I said though by the time I kept driving around I was so frustrated that I did finally ask someone.
