My GPS system in the car gets angry with me if I take a wrong turn, how about you?

Question

Why does it care I get there faster, when that just means the GPS will outlive its usefulness faster and be turned off? Why does the GPS care if I want to take the scenic route? Why so angry? Now when I drive alone I still have a "backseat driver" telling me how to drive. And why then if imbused with emotions won't it apologise when it gives me wrong directions?

Answer 1

Try a different brand GPS. They don't all have a bad attitude.

I had one once that would scold me for making a mistake and say, "TURN AROUND. TURN AROUND NOW!" But my current system simply says, "Recalculating" in a very nice polite voice.
