One time I called 911 because I was following a drunk driver that had collided with multiple vehicles and kept driving. The operator asked me what direction so I looked at my maps app and it said I was going west so I told them west and they said “Sir that street doesn’t run west.” I was speechless after that.

At one point in my childhood, my dad made the comment, “Women don’t know compass directions.” I took offense to that and made a point to learn them to prove him wrong.

I felt vindicated in high school when he was coming to pick me up from a friend’s house and said, “I’m at the gas station. Do I go left or right?” I told him there were several gas stations on the way, and asked which direction he was facing to figure out which one he was by. He couldn’t tell me and finally hung up on me in a huff.

If it's before noon: Go away from the sun.

If it's after noon: Go toward the sun.

If it's night... Wait for morning, and go away from the sun.

Coloradans be like "just look at the mountains smh"

What? You don't have an internal compass that keeps you oriented? For some reason I seem to be a lucky person that just knows which compass direction I'm going no matter where I am. And it's a very weird and frightening feeling if I do get disoriented. I had some pain meds after a surgery that did that to me. Flushed them damn things down the toilet after the first 2 I took.

If I learned anything in geography class than that west is on the left

Left.

Your phone is a compass

Go west. Life is peaceful there. Go west. Lots of open air.

Opposite to the east.

North is W
West is A
South is S
East is D

... unless you hit Q or E and rotated the camera, in which case you're fucked.

Or just ask them which is west and they can point you towards it? Your not a compass needle lol, what is that assumption.
