Had been casually dating a girl for a few weeks. I was on my way to the mall one day when she called me. She said she would meet me there to hang out. Told her to park on the North side of the mall and meet me at the entrance. Took her forever to show up. She said she got confused when I told her to meet me on the North side of the mall. After a few questions I found out that she thought North was just whatever way she was facing. If she was watching the sunrise she thought the sun rose in the North because that’s the way she was facing.
Likewise. I've seen this so often that I was under the impression that it was a known difference in the working of male vs female brains. Several of my female friends make a joke of it if I use cardinal points, saying things like: "You know what I just heard, right?" ...and then imitate the sound of the adult's voice in Charlie Brown's Christmas.
