AITA for giving my friend a backhand across the face when he was deliberately giving an elderly man wrong directions (he had the look) when he came up to us asking for directions to a hospital for his doctors appointment. He won’t talk to me.

Everyone sucks here. Yes your friend is an asshole but physically hitting him is crazy?! Just tell the old guy correct directions and stop being friends with your bro because he’s a bad person

The guy pulled up in his car and was asking directions. And they were easy directions. It was just to take a right right here and drive straight for about 2 miles, and then take another right at the main intersection and it’ll be right there on his left. But he said yeah take a right here, and then when you go down turn on “this street”. (He had like a pause and tried to keep talking to hide his smile as he said) then take a left, go a bit farther and take another left.

I am being 100% legit. It blew my mind. I’ve given old folks directions multiple times because I’m usually wearing a shirt that has my job logo on it. (I work for my county) so I believe it makes me more approachable to them asking for directions. And I was with my friend heading into McDonalds after I had gotten off work a little while earlier and that’s when it happened.

You’re right, I shouldn’t have hit him. But like this guy looked like he was 80+ asking directions to get to a doctors appointment, and I thought about someone doing the same to my grandpa who I know has a struggle with gps and getting to places sometimes. And I agree I got a little to mad but like come on.
