Google Maps told me: “Arrive in 15 minutes.”
But what it meant was:
“Prepare for war.”
It sent me through a back alley, across a construction site, and down a road only goats should use.
Then the voice said:
âSlight right.â
I turned.
Dead end.
There was a man staring at me with no eyebrows.
I turned back.
It recalculated:
âMake a U-turn.â
I made a U-turn.
Suddenly Iâm in the middle of a wedding.
People are clapping. I drive through slowly like the groomâs awkward cousin.
And have you noticed it gets real smug when you ignore it?
âContinue straight.â
No, Iâm turning left.
âOkay⊠if thatâs what you want…â
Itâs like a passive-aggressive ex with GPS.
âFine. Letâs go the dumb way then.â
