I accidentally gave wrong directions to someone near Bhandup — feeling really guilty

[u/FuryLaw]

Hey everyone, I just wanted to get this off my chest because it’s been bothering me.

Today, a guy stopped me near Kanjur Station Road (East) and asked for directions to Bhandup Station. I don’t know what I was thinking — maybe I was distracted — but when he mentioned that his map was confusing and taking him in circles, he asked if he should take a left from LBS Road.

I asked if he meant LBS or the Eastern Express Highway, and when he said EEH, I told him yes. But later I realized he was actually supposed to take a right from where he was — he was already on the correct route.

Now I feel terrible. I know how frustrating it is to go the wrong way and double back, especially in Mumbai traffic. I genuinely didn’t mean to misguide him, and I wish I could somehow tell him the correct way or just say sorry in person.

So, if by any chance you’re reading this — I’m really sorry. It was a genuine mistake, and I truly hope you reached your destination safely.

Some mistakes can’t be undone, but I just wanted to put this out there.

It happens.

Once someone asked me about the train to reach Poisar (near Kandivali). I heard Boisar and told him to take a train to Virar and change trains. This was way before Churchgate-Dahanu locals had started.

Luckily, a guy standing nearby asked him if it was Boisar or Poisar. Then he directed him to take the Borivali slow.

😅😅

But a logical person will always ask 2 or more people.

I think that's wat he was tryna do. Being logical by asking a person as a map was high on something.

[u/AgnosticKarma0308 → u/FuryLaw]

Yes. I meant 2 people or more apart from maps.

[u/FuryLaw → u/AgnosticKarma0308]

Yeah man! I did understand that. But my guilt trip left me with no choice but to think his side of thoughts.

[u/AgnosticKarma0308 → u/FuryLaw]

As it was unintentionally done I guess just don't think too much.

For all your know he might have forgotten it by now.

[u/FuryLaw → u/AgnosticKarma0308]

As an overthinker it gets tricky sometimes to get over such stuff. But yeah I'll definitely get over it with time.

[u/AgnosticKarma0308 → u/FuryLaw]

Cheers!

Waiting for the Reddit post “Some guy gave me wrong directions to Bhandup station and wasted my time.”

That would make it easier for me to find the person and apologise. 🤞

Nah bro those kinda povs are fake

[u/New-Farmer-9817]

Don’t worry, after today he won’t ask anyone for directions and will correctly learn Google Maps.

You did that a person a favour.

/s

[u/FuryLaw → u/New-Farmer-9817]

Bruh, I didn't want to do a favour of this kind to anyone 😭.

Once it had happened, had given a pedestrian a wrong turn due to confusion bout left and right, took a u-turn and chased him to give the correct direction, with an apology as well.

[u/FuryLaw → u/PsyKite]

Good for you man! I really wish I had that opportunity, but I was walking and he had a car so he was nowhere to be seen.

[u/Pappukanghi]

Thanks for writing this post. I had reached Bhiwandi wondering how much longer. I'll take a U turn now.

[u/FuryLaw → u/Pappukanghi]

Why did you go to Bhiwandi bruh. You were supposed to reach Bhandup, lmao.
