This is a little off the topic, but it's somewhat related. Can someone tell me why 90% of all the women I know have no idea how to navigate the highways of the areas in which they've lived the majority of their lives?

Seriously, my girlfriend (who I love very much... ) is totally clueless when it comes to getting places that involve the use of highway travel. She'll call me at work and say stuff like, "Hon, I'm have to go my Aunt's house again, but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to take 495N or 495S?" Then she gets p*** when I start laughing.

The funniest thing is that the entrance to the highway that I referenced is like 3 mins from our house.

Some - not all women are absolutely clueless when it comes to direction. If she was standing in her doorway at night and you asked her to tell you which way was east, west, north etc she probably couldn't. I don't understand it either. I have a friend who couldn't tell you east from west DURING THE DAY. totally baffles me. I guess that's because I'm not directionally challenged.

We don't have much in the way of big highways in my area, but we do have a ton of 2-lane blacktops and dirt roads. On any given day, I can take Christine out and get her completely lost at least 10 times...without ever straying more than 3 miles from the home she lived in for the past 25 years (her entire life).

I have to admit - I'm in that 90%. I can usually get where I need to go, but don't know the easiest or best way, and you surely don't won't to take directions from me.

I'm married to a trucker. I can read a map and if I can't find something, I ask!

HAHAHAHAH - True!! Speaking of which... Did any of you from MA get stuck in the horrific traffic this morning?!?!? It took me over three hours to get to work this morning... It seemed like every major road was backed up due to the little dusting we got.. I was so mad until I got to work and found out that someone was killed right in front of Fidelity when an 18 wheeler coming down the hill lost control on the ice and slammed into the vehicle, my attitude went immediately from being annoyed at the idiot drivers to being thankful I was still alive..

Does hitting a stop sign and driving over 4 parked bicycles while checking out girls on the beach count as a bad driver????
