Sat Nav really pissed me off. It kept trying to tell her to turn all the time and I was telling her the correct route.
So I said things like, 'For heavens sake, we're going to the chemist'. Kate would say through gritted teeth, 'Yes I know', and I would say 'I'm talking to the SatNav'.
Also she couldn't get to grips initially that I'm left and right dyslexic. So instead of saying left and right (it takes too long to work it out, and I still get it wrong), I would say 'Your side' or 'My side'.
'I don't have a side' she would wail. I refrained from commenting on her backside.... I'm nice really, even under immense provocation!
I don't particularly like people talking to me, well, ever really.
I couldn't be doing with a SatNav though. The voices would drive me mad.
I used to get a map and work out my own route. I am an excellent map reader though! It's sad to make your one talent redundant.

Kates offered to 'chaperone' me locally if I fancy doing a couple of days work.
Not sure I am quite ready for that yet but it sounds like it could be fun!
