3. We had two major "WTF???" sets of directions from OnStar, last weekend.

One sent us to a parking lot, no where near where we were intending to go. Another set had us traveling down what can only be described as wagon wheel ruts, through heavy brush and pretty much a forest. We finally got to our destination and immediately spotted a sign that pointed us to a main road, to get back to where we had originally started the journey.

People laugh at me but when I'm planning a trip, I always have maps, just in case.
