I have figured out one of life's greatest mysteries!

It's not that men ignore women giving directions, they ignore anyone giving them directions.

We went to Dallas for my niece's wedding this past weekend. We had a TomTom to guide us. It was originally set on the woman's voice giving directions. As we got into the Ft. Worth/Dallas area, hubby started missing exits. So I asked him if he was paying attention to the directions given, and he said yes he was. This confused me since, we needed on the highway going east, and he got off on the one going west. I told him I didn't think so, since a woman was doing it. So he switched the voice on the TomTom over to a guy's voice. Yep he still missed his exits. On the way home, we somehow ended up in downtown Dallas.

So I once again asked are listening to the directions. His excuse this time, the voice had a British accent.

I think it's just that men don't listen to directions period! :yh_rotfl

men don't want to ask for directions, they assume they know them, so when given directions, they don't listen!:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl

As I was taught in my driving lessons, I'm in charge and I make the final decision. And that's that.

You Americans. You just have to do things your way. Then you come back here and wonder why we drive on the left.:rolleyes:

The reason sat navs do not give directions from a woman is they will send you round the roundabout twice, miss the exit on the motorway, stop you to apply make-up, decide to take the B road because it's prettier, slow down to look in passing shop windows and finally throw a tantrum and want to go home.
