Awkward moment when you get lost in the middle of nowhere!
So today i decided to make my own way home from hospital. I complately failed and ended up getting the wrong bus and got lost in the middle of nowhere. this was quite embarrassing as i had to ring up my mum in order for her to come and rescue me!
So when have you ever got lost somewhere?
I got lost in Kensington Gardens trying to find my befriender once. Well, I knew where I was, but I couldn't find where she was.. We ended up meeting somewhere more local later in the evening.
I regularly make the 15minute walk to the local A&E while completely drunk, at 3am but when sober and rested the next day, have no idea how to walk bak and end up having to get the bus :L
Well me and my older cousin got lost three years ago , I was only 12 and he was 19 . Anyway we had walked to my auntie&uncle's house which is in pinner and on the way back we got lost because I said to my cousin that I know a shorted route back home, but turns out I had forgotten the sort route and we ended up from pinner to northwood instead of getting home to harrow.

This thread is so hilarious - I love it how we all get lost somewhere

I got lost a lot as a kid. When I was 4 I got lost in Momi (some moving images museum), we were a large family, and I was looking at an exhibit, and the whole family drifted on thinking I was with someone else. Unfortunately, due to my innate friendliness I had had stranger danger rather drummed into me...so I ended up hysterically crying and this random woman asked what was the matter and I told her "I've lost my mummy and I can't talk to you cuz you're a stranger".
Then when I was 11 my mum and I were staying at my Nan's looking after her for a weekend while my grandad was away. I got sent out for nan's paper and was told to go to the top of the road and turn right...so I did...after about an hour of walking I thought it strange that I'd not got to the shops that were supposed to be 5 minutes away. It wasn't until I got to a dual carrigeway that I realised I must be lost. I asked a man in his driveway for directions, but I didn't really know my grandparents address, or phone number and this was in the days before mobiles were an everyday object. I wouldn't go into his house, and we worked out what we thought the road was looking at a map from his car and off I set......only to discover that *****way no longer existed, it was all now *******close. This woman I had asked for further directions to ******way persuaded me to come into her house so she could look up my grandad in the phone book, fortunately I knew grandad's initials and surname! She called the house and drove me back. My mum was hysterical and made me walk up to the local shops (It was at the end of the road, turn right and then turn LEFt) and apologise to the shopkeeper for worrying him cuz she had gone up there looking for me when I'd not returned after 30mins

In Norwich. We decided to walk into the city from the outskirts to the restaurant we'd booked cos we are tight, like walking, and thought it'd be more fun... Navigating the outskirts of a city you don't live in and have only visited a handful of times is not so easy in the dark. We left an hour before the table was booked and it should have taken 30-40 mins but it took double that or more. Walking home was equally disastrous. I printed off a map from google, but reading a map in the dark and seeing road signs other than those you are right next to is something I hadn't factored in. Many a time did we stop look round baffled and say 'where the foxtrot are we?' whilst walking up to signs and trying to see if they were on the section of map I'd printed. The awkward bit is where you have walked so far out of your way you've walked off the map... that's when the real fun begins!
I told her "I've lost my mummy and I can't talk to you cuz you're a stranger".
Ha ha oh bless you!! Wonderful kid logic fail ;-p
When I was little I used to like to hide in the clothing rails etc while Mum was shopping (otherwise where is the fun ;-p) and she was always warning me that one day I'd get lost and what do you know, one day I did. A shop assistant found me and was asking me what my mummy looked like and the extent of my input on the situation was that she was wearing a red coat. Very helpful.

Most recently was towards the end of last year when I went out drinking with uni friends. I was ****-faced and had to catch the last two, two hour long buses of the night, to get home, after getting on the first one, I felt like vomming, so got off before asking the driver if this was last bus, he said it was but I stupidly continued to get off thinking he'd be kind enough to wait for poor drunk girl vomming - I was wrong. The bus left and started walking until I got to the start of a dual carriageway God knows where, then I thought "fuck that shit" called Mother, who called a taxi; £30 later I was tucked away in bad. Thanks you, Mother.
I got lost in the middle of nowhere (literally) with my horse.
Then I decided that I might as well let the horse decide which way to take and he found the way back to the stable.
You survived the abuse.
You're gonna survive the recovery.
I've been pretty lost in Manchester trying to find the building to take my theory test
Luckily I know how awful I am so we doing this a week before the actual test
In my first week at uni I had to go out one evening, came back on train and got SO lost it was awful
My phone battery was nearly gone as well. Now I know my way around I realise I must have walked in circles for an hour. Was dark and actually very scary
There will always be a happy ending. If its not happy then its not yet the end.
I got lost in the middle of Dorset once (I live in London). We were on a school trip and somehow myself and two friends ended up in the middle of nowhere in a field with nobody else to be seen..
I've also been lost around London a number of times (but it's luckily fairly easy to navigate) and Watford just recently when no trains were running...
Took a shortcut and ended up wondering around this very small area for 20 minutes trying to find a blessed building that I had been to in my head 2 times previously eventually found the building 5 mins away and very embarrassed moaned to a friend who pointed out that the 1st time we had Saturday school we were based were I was walking around so I wasn't to wrong!!!

I got on a local bus that was going the wrong way. I realised that it was going in the wrong direction, but when it stopped and I got off I didn't have a clue where I was or how to get home. I phone my Mum who came and found me (once I'd located a road name sign). I was being a bit mental at the time, so I blame the brain cooties...
