Here's one for the books. Or user manuals.
I'm innocently taking my Sainted wife out for dinner last night (the details of the route to McDonald's are not germane here), and suddenly my car music mutes and a disembodied female voice (NOT belonging to my wife) pipes up and says to turn left at the next intersection.
The car's GPS system was not engaged, and the disembodied voice was not speaking with the Teutonic certainty that the Germans had engineered into my car, so it couldn't be that. What the heck was going on?
After Miss Disembodied issued her next command, I finally realized that I had apparently left Google Maps open on my phone when I had been asking about directions to another destination (Wendy's) just before we left home. It was Google's turn-by-turn lady popping up on the car's Bluetooth connection!
Nearly blew my brain.
I'm going to have some fun on my next trip - I'm going to turn BOTH ladies on and let them fight it out as I drive. Let's see who picks the better route.
Or whether I drive into a handy tree amidst the confusion of directions.
