Your GPS should mutter “Damn it.” when recalculating your route if you miss a turn.

Normal GPS: “Make a left turn onto I-90”

Waze: “Hey, drive through this elementary school, fuck it, save 2 minutes”

It would really help me if GPS voice navigation would throw in “you’re doing great” once in a while between directions.
