    Sometimes I put directions into Maps for a work thing and I have to be there before the location opens to the public and when I put the address in, before it will give me directions, the app says, “HEY, THE PLACE YOU’RE GOING MIGHT NOT BE OPEN, JUST THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW, STUPID ASSHOLE.”

    It makes me unreasonably(?) furious.

      I get this happen to me too, but honestly it feels like a feature that helps more people than it annoys the rest. Even though I’m among those annoyed

        It’s like when customer service call centers have 'longer than average wait times" because of “higher than average call volume” all of the fucking time. If it happens all the time, it ain’t higher than average.

          The average human being has one breast and one testicle. If you’re closed at night, then all daytime activity is higher than average.

      Breh my job involves driving to addresses outside of their normal working hours to the general public . It is so f u c k i n g annoying to have to listen to day in and day out. Same with “traffic is heavier than usual”. Also every. Damn. Day at the same time of day.

      Driving somewhere unknown, I need gas…“hey phone, take me to the nearest gas station” “okay, here’s a tiny list of gas stations to choose from, please click the one you want”

        And then it asks you if the gas station you want is one 8 hours away, instead of the one 3 minutes from your current location. This has happened to me many times.

        Maybe you wouldn’t have that problem if you didn’t burn gasoline. Seems like a sensible solution to the safety concern too.
