OK so I was out driving today and accidentally hit the button on my steering wheel to enable voice-activated stuff in my Leaf. I never use this, so I'm not familiar with it. It asked me what I wanted, so I said "CANCEL". It replied "Navigating to Home".
It then started giving me turn-by turn directions. Meanwhile, my phone is doing the same, trying to take me to my actual destination. They are pointedly ignoring each other.
I couldn't figure out how to bring up a screen to deal with the navigation on the stereo / navigation / backup camera / Too Goddamn Smart For Its Own Good system, so I hit the voice button again. It asked me what I wanted, so I said "CANCEL NAVIGATION". It replied "Connecting to phone". I can't recall exactly what happened next, but the car clearly had a low opinion of the phone.
I hit the button again, and again it asked me what I wanted. At that moment, my phone spoke up, telling me to turn right. My car didn't like that. Now my phone and the car are arguing with each other. I'm laughing so hard I can barely steer.
I got to where I was going and turned off the car, figuring that would end it all. BUT NO. When I got back in the car and turned it on, it again started giving me directions. I figured that when I got home, it would decide that it had won my affections, and quit.
BUT NOOOOO.
It wanted me to go the wrong direction on the freeway. It wasn't taking me to my home, it still knew only the home of the previous owner, way up in Boulder, and was determined to take me there.
Then it realized that I didn't have enough charge left to reach Boulder, and it started getting upset.
"You may not have enough charge to reach your destination."
"Take exit 201 and turn back."
"Take exit 200 and turn back."
Now it's really upset. "YOU WON'T HAVE ENOUGH CHARGE TO REACH YOUR DESTINATION! Search for charging stations?"
"Take exit 199 and turn back!"
"SEARCHING FOR CHARGING STATIONS!"
I got home. When I turned the car off, it was still trying to get me to a charging station, and to Boulder.
My problem is that I can't decide if it would be funnier for me to tell my GF about this whole escapade now, or just stay quiet and let her enjoy it for herself when she drives the car next?
