He might have been wrong rather than lying. A startling number of people don't know where they are. A former partner of mine usually knew where she was, but didn't think in terms of NSWE and would be confused if I said "come to the SE corner of the park"
Also I live here and just last night walked like four blocks in the wrong direction because I wasn't paying attention and turned the wrong way.
I really doubt it considering his confidence and lack of hesitation. He was 100% fucking with a "tourist"
Any time someone asks me for directions, I pause to make sure I'm understanding where they're trying to go before sending them on their way. Even if I'm positive , at the very least I'll double check the cross streets
Well, I'm sorry you got "lucky" like that. I've never seen or heard of someone intentionally misleading like that, but I'm sure it happens. Seems like a jerk move to do to someone.
Like I said, I went back and no longer blindly hate the city due to the actions of 1 citizen...but you gotta admit, the city smelled absolutely awful in the summer before garbage collection changed lol
