Wife Vs. GPS

By . Posted on .

This is one man who's happy to ask for directions. But should he trust his wife… or his new GPS?

Technology can drive a beeping, attention-sucking wedge between men and women. In a recent survey from Energizer, 30 percent of all married men couldn't decide if they would rather give up their wives or their smartphones, and a shocking 15 percent said they'd drop the spouse. Thankfully, I still love my wife more than any machine. While she can be wrong, at least she has the capacity to rethink things—and apologize. Whereas when the GPS fails, you end up wondering how much a broken axle will cost to replace in the middle of Denmark. Female Vs Male Brain: Is There A Difference?

Still, 9 out of 10 people you speak to will tell you they're happy to use a Garmin or similar product. How many of those would trust their wives for directions? I shudder to speculate.
      
I, for one, will keep asking for help. Last weekend I was out walking my dog in the neighborhood when a Chevy Cutlass kept pace, setting both of us on edge.  
The car window pulled down and the elderly driver yelled out, "I'm looking for a house on 72nd Terrace."   

"Sure, it's right behind you, just take your next left," I told the woman, glad that I recognized the street.

She drove off, and I suddenly realized, No, she needed to take a right, not a left. I shook my head slightly. If she's not married, she really should get a GPS.
