The Exit Is That Way	comment	Alice and Bob have an argument, usually with Alice questioning Bob's planning or general capability. Either way, Bob acts indignant and shocked, insists he knows exactly what he's doing and storms off. After a brief pause, Alice politely points out that Bob is going the wrong way. Bob makes an embarrassed excuse and sheepishly wanders out in the right direction. Common variations include Alice not saying anything, but seeing Bob go one way, then hurriedly switching to the opposite direction, or Bob entering a closet (bonus points if Bob stays in there a while out of embarrassment). Similar scenes can be used to show that a character is particularly flustered or worried, or that a character is an infiltrator that doesn't know his way around. As a variant, Bob may have just expressed sudden resolve and set off to do some dramatic, plot-important event, but his conviction turns into comic effect by his mistake in direction. See also Your Other Left, House Amnesia, Door Focus, Crossing the Burnt Bridge. Often used as a tool of providing a Failed Attempt at Drama. For a wider version of going the wrong way, see No Sense of Direction.

The Exit Is That Way / int_1b386512	comment	Ranma Â½: A variation is used in the final arc: upon hearing about the bird people coming after Plum, RyÅ�ga detects that two of them are in the room and makes a show of hurling his bamboo parasol in the direction of their hiding space... only to realize that, true to form, he threw it in the exact opposite direction. A second variation comes from the anime adaptation of the Breaking Point storyline. After turning down Cologne's initial offer to train him, Ryoga takes his leave. The next scene shows him wandering into the living room and sheepishly asking them to tell him the way out... again. The subbed version has Shampoo claim that this is the tenth time RyÅ�ga has had to ask. And he still gets it wrong — he follows Shampoo's directions and ends up at the toilet. RyÅ�ga has No Sense of Direction.

In the episode "In the Shadow of Two Gunmen Part II", C.J., after falling into her pool, says she's going into her house to change and then she'll discuss the job Toby's offered her. Because she's not wearing her glasses or contacts, Toby has to point out she's walking in the wrong direction. Played for Drama in "Ellie"; after Ellie gets chewed out by Bartlet in the Oval Office, she starts to leave, only to indicate she has no idea where the exit is because there's multiple doors and she rarely visits. Bartlet has to point her to the correct door.

Charles edges his way towards a door and slips through. Later we cut back, just as the bride and groom are in the middle of yet more noisy sex, and the door creaks open. Charles is sitting on a sink in a hidden en-suite, looking distinctly uncomfortable.

The Exit Is That Way / int_f655ed11	comment	Frasier: In an episode, Daphne has an argument with Frasier about her whereabouts before storming off to her room. Alas, she goes the wrong way, leading to the quote at the top of the page. There's another episode where this trope is used in spirit; Frasier and Diane have a long heart-to-heart and they come to terms with their history together, and Frasier says his heartfelt goodbyes and turns to leave in this perfect moment... only to accidentally walk out the stage door, which has been designed to look like the Cheers bar, and have to sheepishly turn back and find the right door.
