I could be on fire and MAYBE a stranger would try to put me out

If I had a pound for every time I've been asked where Buckingham Palace is! Even in other countries I get asked for directions all the time. Which I'm quite okay about really because it means I've blended in.

Nope. Strangers often ask me to help them get things from the top shelf at the store.

Sometimes at work, and I only know about 10% of the time unfortunately

not really

That's quite rare but it happened today.

I'm not sure what you mean by asking you for the way, maybe they think you're a Zen Buddhist master and will teach them The Way? I guess you mean for directions, I've never heard it called "the way" before, must be a regional thing. Oh, and I don't remember if anyone's ever asked me for directions. Probably.

Unfortunately

Only when I am not at home and are clueless myself!
