Playing With / No Sense of Direction

Go To

Basic Trope: A character gets lost easily.

  • Straight: Bobby doesn't know where he's going at all.
  • Exaggerated: Bobby gets lost without even leaving his home.
  • Downplayed: Bobby mixes up his left and right occasionally, but he's still pretty good about getting where he needs to.
  • Justified: Bobby has a disability that gives him an extreme case of vertigo, and he can't tell what direction he's going.
  • Inverted: The Navigator.
  • Subverted: Bobby seems lost once more, but manages to find his way to where he needed to be.
  • Double Subverted: Nope. That's a completely different building.
  • Parodied: Bobby gets lost before the poor guy even wakes up.
  • Zig-Zagged: ???
  • Averted: Bobby never gets lost.
  • Enforced: The work is sponsored by a company that makes navigation devices and Bobby's poor sense of direction is designed to have him use the company's products.
  • Lampshaded: ???
  • Invoked: ???
  • Exploited: Alice needs Bobby to get to her house, but is aware of his tendency to get lost. So, she deliberately gives him the wrong directions to get there. Somehow, he actually finds her house.
  • Defied: ???
  • Discussed: ???
  • Conversed: ???
  • Implied: Bobby is mentioned to be awful with directions.

Hey, can somebody tell me the way back to No Sense of Direction?
