Default Asking for Driving Directions Stories

I know my way around but when I first moved down I got lost every now and than and thought the fastest way to find my way was to ask a villager. [not always]


One time I pulled into a gas station/food market on 301 as a village couple was heading to their car. I asked if they could tell me how to get to Walmart. It was so funny because while the husband was telling the directions his wife stood behind him and was shaking her head no to me for about 2 minutes. I nodded my head to everything he said, thanked him very much but took her advice.

How sweet; she didn't want to contradict her husband because maybe he was starting to forget things or maybe she gave up that battle years ago. Anyway, she also didn't want me, a total stranger to get lost.
