94%的男人多走冤枉路也不愿问路
Men are so reluctant to ask for directions that they will clock up an unnecessary 900 miles - the distance from Land's End to John O'Groats - over a lifetime, researchers say.
研究人员指出，男人因为不愿问路，一辈子会走足足900英里的冤枉路，相当于从英国南端的兰兹角到北端的约翰欧格罗茨的距离。
On realising they are lost, only 6 per cent check a map or ask for help to avoid extra mileage, a survey showed.
And 14 per cent are so stubborn that they soldier on until they find an alternative route, rather than admit they are wrong.
Wrong turns and a lack of common sense means that the average British man will needlessly travel an extra 1.5 miles per month before correcting his mistake, clocking up an extra 18 miles per year.
Over 50 years, that adds up to 13,500 minutes, or 225 hours, wasted needlessly pounding the pavement.
