Just Plug the Address into Your Global Positioning Homicidal Maniac

Overheard in my car today:

"Brandy" (a.k.a. the name of the voice setting on my GPS. I know, she sounds like a total slut): After one half mile, turn left.

Me (blink blink): What the - ?? Brandy, we're cruising down the highway at 70 miles an hour. Turning bad. Very bad.

Brandy: SHARP LEFT.

Me (glance down at map to see that yes, she does in fact want me to pull a U-turn on the highway, RIGHT NOW): I have children in the car, you psycho. DEAR GOD, THE CHILDREN!

Brandy: SHARP LEFT!

Me: NOOO!!

Brandy: SHARP -

Me: IT'S A HIGHWAY!

Brandy: (recalculating route, hopefully to something less car-smashy and fatal)

Me: Why are you trying to kill us?? Is it because I never clean your touchscreen?! Is it because I leave you on the center console and never stick you proper-like on the windshield?? YOU ALWAYS FALL DOWN. NO MATTER HOW MUCH I LICK YOUR STUPID SUCTION CUP.

Brandy: Turn around when possible.

Me: I'm getting off at the next exit, fer Chrissake!

Brandy: Turn around when -

Me: Don't make me throw you.

Brandy: Sharp right.

Me: Slam. Slam. Slam.

Technology is so helpful.

Mapquest once had me about 25 miles south and east of where I was meant to be...what should have been a 30 minute drive took me nearly two hours.

Helpful technology.
