Columbus Complex 

A man's stubbornness to ask for directions, even when he has no idea where he is.

Derives from the story of Christopher Columbus, whose wife would nag in his ear for him to ask for the quickest way to India.
Woman: We've passed that gas station twice already. Overcome your Columbus Complex and ask for directions.
Man: No, I know exactly where we are.
