Question of the Day - Thursday, November 27th, 2025

Yoday's question is from @nuthatched:

Have you ever gotten really lost?

No.

 

[sourland]

Frequently in my dreams, and once in the fog I ended up on the wrong side of the Sourland Mts.

 

[ChickQueen77]

No haven't gotten lost

 

[Crazy Chicken Keeper]

Nope. Sometimes I wish I would though to experience what it would be like - it's an irrational urge like wanting to fall out of a tree, staple-gun into my leg, that kinda thing. Not that I ever would staple gun into my leg

 

[tripletfeb]

No

 

[Evadig]

Yes, I got lost in Rome. I could only get back to our hotel from one street, which was blocked, so I just wandered the city for a couple hours trying to find my way back...eventually I did.

 

[Lacy Duckwing]

Really, no, but I have tried (in a place that was safe to do so) which only proved that I had a good sense of direction and couldn't.

There was one time we went and found this waterfall, then couldn't find the trail back. I ended taking the lead and ended up leading everyone up a cliff and through trees that were too thick for the dog to even go through. Somehow, I was able to find the trail and everyone got back to the cars safely.

That time, and once accidentally missing a road in the middle of nowhere, was probably the only time I could classify as "lost," but because my sense of direction is so good and we were able to get back to the trail, it doesn't really seem like we were lost. Nobody had to call for help or come looking for us.

If I was ever to get lost lost, I think it'd have to be while driving because my sense of direction doesn't really seem to matter when I'm on the road. But then again, if I have service, then I could just find my location and the way back home if I needed to.

 

[The Moonshiner]

No

 

[R2elk]

Definitely.

 

[azurbanclucker]

Not yet. Always a first time, I'm sure.
