People helping you find your way

A few times we have been standing around looking at our phone looking at Google maps to find our way someplace. Nice people sometimes try to help us by giving directions. Our usual response is to listen to their directions (not always easy in Spanish, even for Wynette) and then follow Google’s directions. This works well if Google tells us to go the same way but less well if Google says to go in a different direction.

We try to direct these discussions towards finding out who they are and chatting with them. People just want to help.

Xkcd nails this, as usual: https://xkcd.com/783/
