Presumably, you know which way the sun comes up and goes down, so you really should know which way the cardinal directions are. You have an excuse if it’s night and you’re in an unfamiliar place.

The need for directions kind of imply being in an unfamiliar place. It is also entirely possible that you were not there to note where the sun rose. Sure, you could observe the sun for a while to see its direction before asking for directions. That is, however, fucking idiotic.

Good thing it's never too cloudy to see where the sun is.
