Good Intentions. Bad Directions.

And it happened again. Walked 2.5 kms extra off course because a good soul chose to help me by giving wrong directions!

Why do we do this all the time? Is it because we can help but help? or because we cant afford not to know the answer and come off as ignorant? Or is it because our egos do not let us politely say that we dont know? or is it our brains trying to guess by approximating the location of landmark based on past references with the said location that we might have heard/seen/felt/thought?

P.S. : You must be asking me, Why didn't you just use google maps?
