No worse than asking where a building is when yiu are standing in fron of it and cannot see it.
Today I was in a large crowded market in Asia.
I was looking for an umbrella.
I was standing looking at one stall and a lady asked what I was looking for. When I responded "umbrella"!
She called over a young assistant and told me to follow......I was escorted to another tiny stall in a secluded part of the market to a stall that had about 6 folding umbrellas.
That's what I call help in real life.
No giving complicated directions....just follow OK.
