I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if in either case the person who is lost gets the help they need.

The world is full of assholes, but they are the minority compared to the majority of helpful people, especially when it comes to simple things such as direction. Speak the local language helps of course.

Every single time?

Like you're saying that there's absolutely no chance that this could happen in these situations, or in any situations, which makes no sense given that statistically this kind of shit happens every day to someone.

At almost any given moment someone is being told to fuck off because the asked a stranger for directions.

Have you never had this happen to you?
