* In ''[[Cells at Work!]]'', red blood cells are depicted as energetic busybodies who are always on the move while making their deliveries. The same is true of female lead AE3803, but she's still a novice and tends to get lost frequently, until U-1146 takes her under his wing.
* Red Blood Cell from ''[[Cells at Work!]]''.
* Several of the Straw Hat pirates in ''[[One Piece]]'', as pictured.
** Roronoa Zoro (pictured above, upper left), by far the worst, is prone to get lost easily, to the point of taking off in the opposite direction as soon as the group sets out. When needing to go south, he once went in exactly the wrong direction despite being in the company of a bird whose head will only ever point to the south. When told to head north, he climbs the tallest building in the vicinity (again, the "north is up" principle). He can be quoted as having once said "It was on the right side of the map, so I just have to keep going right." He then turned to the left. Zoro gets lost in a situation where it should've been ''impossible'' (like when Nami outright tells him to ''follow her'' in the [[CP 9]] arc), and often blames the others for "getting lost". Hilariously seen in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCm-ypxAXdg this video.] To the tune of [[Ear Worm|Yakety Sax]], for added points. The absolute worst example has to be at Enies Lobby. He gets lost walking to a set of stairs ''20 feet in front of him.'' He blames Nami's bad directions. Chopper (pictured above, upper right) responded by offering to make Zoro ''[[Take That|a cure for hopeless idiocy]]''. Post-time skip, when the crew was reuniting on Sabaody Archipelago, Zoro was ''first'' one there and is incredibly smug about it (though it was thanks to Perona's help). Though played straight back into position when he decides to go fishing and gets on a pirate ship as well. {{spoiler|He blames destiny and cuts the ship in half.}} He has, on the other hand, no trouble finding someone when ''he wants to get away from them'', like in a post-Enies Lobby filler episode when he's wearing an embarrassing shirt he doesn't want to be seen in, and ends up running into ''everyone in the crew'' when trying to avoid them. He's been called a ''fantasista'' (roughly, calling someone a "daydreamer" in a derogatory fashion) twice. By Nami in Enies Lobby, and by Perona in the Whereabouts stories.
