Directions

So what is it with people that ask for directions but then question everything you tell them?.

You give simple instructions like the following.
     1. Turn left out of the parking lot.
     2. At your 3Rd set of lights turn right.
     3. Then go straight for 2Km and your there.

They respond with so turn right and then go for 2 sets of lights and I am their!.

Then you have to repeat the directions again and in most cases even go so far as drawing a map for them (and in some cases that confuses them even more); and it does not matter if it is a male or female asking for directions.

So what is it that makes it so hard to have people to understand simple directions when that ask for them.

Is it a matter of them not listening or a matter of being in a rush and not focusing on the information that is being provided to them!.
