this is amazingly funny and true…Bravo Neil!

But I am not a GPS fan, especially when I want to be that female voice, being a navigator on the passenger seat, finding the directions and getting lost, and somewhere in between encounter some nice surprises, or not so nice ones… I love asking directions in English and get it back in a totally different language…try that sometime

That is so true. However, in my family I’m the one who refuses to ask for directions (why should some random stranger know?) and argues with the GPS lady. It annoys me how she sounds (in my car anyway) like a French provincial or a Brit whose accent is wobbly, as if she’s been working too hard on it.

The funniest part is when I do something she doesn’t like and she just says, “NO.”

Who does she think she is, anyway!

I imagine that it does solve many an argument. Or prevent them, more precisely.

I have no sense of direction, so if I ever won the lotto, that would be one of the first things I’d buy. Right now I have to rely on my daughter. I say, “Left?” and she rolls her eyes and says, “No. Right” and she is always correct.

It’s a shame that GPS can’t foresee sinkholes. Oops. Sorry.

I can’t stand the talking GPS but I will follow the directions when I figure out to work the darn thing.

Karl — before Sophia got the Prius, we actually had a primitive GPS by buying some cheap software and a $100 card for her handheld device and used the same satellite as the fancy one in the car. except instead of the smooth sounding robot woman with a Harvard degree, we heard a robot who talked like a New York cabbie and said, “Make the f***king left turn already, asshole!”

Leezer — there was one time when Sophia refused to listen to the GPS, thinking she knew a shortcut, so in all honesty, we did have ONE fight. And Sophia is still wrong.

Dana — admit it. You are pedantic.

But Neil:
Won’t you just get in a fight over how to work the GPS?
