I stopped reading when I got to the "native of Los Angeles California".
That explained everything.

Should be expected, I've gotten bad directions from Google Maps so many times I don't even use it anymore except to actually look at the map.

yeah. i swear it takes me out of the way about 40% of the time.

i look at it when planning to go to a new place so i get an idea where im going. that and my GPS are a good combo

This makes me scared for the kayak accross pacific ocean thing... What if someone tries to sue for that, or Google changes that out of fear. What I love most about Google is the hidden sense of humor within them.. Suing kills the funny, and thats no fun :(

That was one of my first thoughts.

There needs to be a Darwin's Law exempting companies from lawsuits brought by complete idiots

I really fear that she's going to get a small settlement. It's a shame that stupidity is rewarded.

Damnit, Darwin was so close to claiming another victim on this one too...

It's a shame she wasn't killed, would've been one less idiot in this world. I hope google tells her to jump off the Golden Gate Bridge next time.

She needs a good whack in the side of the head with a 2x4

Don't do that.... she'll probably get pissed and sue you when she finds out its actually 1.5in x 3.5 instead of it being 2in by 4 in. like its named.

man, would it be mean if i hoped she had died? by her living it increases the odds she'll reproduce and pass her stupidity on to future generations.
