Just gave the wrong direction to a stranger unintentionally

It is easy done, sometimes we are caught offguard when someone stops us in the street, in this day and age you tend to get paranoid in this precarious world that if you are a woman in particular if a guy drives up to you, you can't help thinking the worst, why have they stopped by me? You do get suspicious and wary of strangers! I did this a few times, more so when I was much younger, don't laugh but I had problem with left and right and I said left instead of right, I was walking on my own and I worried all the way home that the driver would return and give me hassle for putting him on the wrong road!

I know the feeling; I thought I did the same once (luckily, I found out later that my directions were actually okay). The guilt caught me bad and I couldn't stop imagining how annoyed they'd be when they received the right directions. .

I too have given wrong directions unintentionally, I don't think there is anything wrong if you don't do it intentionally. It happens sometimes that we are in a hurry and we give wrong directions to strangers who asked for directions.

Since you felt you guilty then all it has gone from your side. It happens naturally sometimes for all because of the dormant memory and i hope the stranger would have enquired again at the next post or the next turn and he also going for an unknown sure he wont have a mindset of reaching the roads right

How pity!
