You can buy a map cheaply. For many journeys, you don;t need one anyway if you have any odea about the geography of the country and can read road signs.
Why would you wait for the red light to come on, before filling up with fuel?
Why would you ring the babysitter. Just let them get on with the job, and stop interfering.”
Missing the point totally.
Why print them out making you a) buy a printer/ink etc and b) having to keep the ticket safe somewhere. Why bother when it's there on the phone.
Why need to buy a map when I have a free google maps on my phone. Plus something else to remember on a journey, I don't have too.
Sometimes as a busy mum and part time admin worker and baker I don't have time to check my fuel, or I forget. When it comes on I can check on my phone if I'm not local where the nearest petrol station is.
Every parents checks on a babysitter sometimes, if your child has been poorly but you have a business meeting to go to you can't re-arrange. Or a new sitter you want to check on, you expect mums to find a call box (if such things still work, most are vandalised).
All those things help me stop stressing and enjoy life. If you wish to live your life in 1978 and enjoy it carry on, but it's a bit patronising to carry on the way you are, as if everyone using one is stupid, and is why I said it was stupid.
