So, when a driver cooee's out to you at a bus stop from a car on a multi laned road....

"excuse me bloke, I am lost do you know where autobarn is"

how many posters on this forum standing at a bus stop would answer, boldly and curtly

 A answers or thereabouts

"forget autobarn, you left front tyre is bald and on the median lane line and that is against the rules"

or

" you goose.... concentrate on the road and buy a GPS.... I always know where I am going.....idiot. If you do not know you should not be on the road"

or

"autobarn is a rip off I always go to repco nobody goes to autobarn why are you going to autobarn"

and if there was a group at the bus stop, how many would echo and reinforce information that the enquirer was NOT LOOKING FOR in unison.

and how many standing at the bus stop would answer

B answers or thereabouts

"next left, 200 metres down the road"

or

"sorry I do not know"

or

"sorry i do not know, but I think there is a MAP in the information centre 200 metres down the road"

C. answers or thereabouts

Ignore them completely but lurk and listen to see if anybody else answers them because you are looking for autobarn as well and do not want to appear foolish and be ostracized by the others
