German has a reputation for being the perfect language for issuing orders. If someone shouted, "Turn left!" at me in German, I'd probably obey before thinking, too. (Fortunately, I don't understand German.)

Truck drivers following nav directions to the Do It Best warehouse down the street from my job always end up at my gatehouse.
Seems the system they use has a database, and it is messed up 'a little'.
Also happens for drivers heading to Overnite, and Home Depot warehouses in the same area.

When using the "Always Lost System" while vacationing in DC, the silly lady tried to get us to go into the Potomac.
Guess we are smarter than German folk, cause we did not listen.

According to Mark Steyn one of those orders includes men sitting down to take a leak. Sheesh..

It pays to be a little bit smarter than the gps.

I read this yesterday on another site and was actually trying to figure out how to post it, but being challenged in that department, I thank you for posting it!

I won't start a FusterCluck ping list. I won't. I won't do it. Still the best d- keyword on FR though.
