Her: "I'm at X kinda near Y after having left Z. Can you get me home?"
Me: You own a GPS. Are you using it?"
Her: "Yes. I didn't like what it told me so I stopped listening to it."
Me: "And now you're lost."
Her: "Not lost, just misplaced."
Me: "Would you be lost had you listened to what The Voice (her name for the GPS) was telling you?"
Her: "That's beside the point."
