Bad directions, never intentionally. I might give really weird directions, but that's cause of where I grew up...(it's normal to tell a complete random stranger "And where the old Penny's used to be, take a left, and drive straight on down to where Old Man Duncan grazes his sheep, and make a right there" and expect them to know exactily what you're talking about)...
I'll also give directions that are functionally simpler, but a lot longer than normal. I.E. getting to the NJ turnpike from where I am, for me, is a snap, depending on how I want to go. 4 or 5 different highways, etc etc etc, and eventually I hit I-95 south.
For other people here, I'll say get on the NY thruway and stay on it until you see signs for I-95/the George Washington Bridge.
It's a really long drive, but it always works.
No...but, what I *do* do that's kinda mean, is leave vendors trapped in voice-mail hell. Or, even better (or worse)...I'll pick a random person at work that I don't particularly like, and tell every random vendor that calls me to talk to that person instead from now on.
Talk about brightening up my day...
