The Long Way Home

What is it with men and their GPS? Last night a friend and I were driving back from downtown LA when the freeway slowed down a bit. So what did he do? He took off down an offramp depositing us in a cruddy part of town. Soon, we were driving down little side streets past barred windows, graffiti and freaky looking people.

Using his GPS to navigate, he was looking at it instead of the road. I felt like screaming get the .... back on the freeway but I said nothing and just gritted my teeth. It took a half hour longer than usual to get home, plus I got the bonus of frayed nerves. Worst of all, I think that he got off of the freeway just so that he could play with his toy. (Note to guys: If you have an exhausted female companion in the car with you who is eager to get home, that is not a good time to play with your GPS.)
