Garmen Alert

We May be the only ones, but we get amused sending the Garmen directional program into fits of spasms, getting her lost on country roads and letting her plot her way out. Only yesterday it happened entirely by accident. We werehighway driving through a construction zone detour and she is jabbering about staying on the road when suddenly the screen goes red!

“You are traveling in the wrong direction!” She must have said that three times between recalculating and directing us to off ramps. As we slid back onto our side of the divided highway she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Why does a programmed voice give us such entertainment when half the time we don’t listen to her out of spite?
