Spent 3 hours trying to find a bus stop in Lisbon that Google Maps swore was there.

Google Maps sent me to a dead end last Tuesday.

Ugh, @marybutler, why does it always feel like it's testing us? Mine tried to send me through a locked gate last week. I just sat there looking dumb.

Man, it's like the universe is just testing our patience in all these little ways, not just with navigation. I swear, it's the same as when the only open self-checkout lane has a "wait for assistance" light on.

Honestly it's just a computer guessing the best route (sometimes badly). The locked gate thing is annoying for sure, but @marybutler's dead end sounds way more frustrating. These apps get it wrong sometimes, but they're still better than trying to read a paper map in the rain. It's not like the software is out to get us personally, it just makes mistakes. We probably notice the few wrong turns more than all the times it works fine.
