Is it just me or do you find it funny that we will not listen to our wives / girlfriend when they provide directions, but (at least the guys I know) yet we set our GPS voices to female.

US Air Force aircraft critical alerts are spoken to the pilot in a calm, female voice because most pilots are men and they've found that is the most effective way of getting the critical info to them.

My '83 280ZX used to nag me a lot:

"Door is Ajar"
"Lights are on"
"Fuel level is low"
"Your tie doesn't match your shirt"

It took me a long time after I got rid of it to ask my girlfriend if she wanted to get married.

Her response: "Your hair's too long", "you shouldn't eat so much fried food", and "how come you sold your 280Z? I really liked it!"

That's because psychologically, hearing a calm female voice is such an unusual circumstance that it warrents full attention  Bigsmile

With my GPS, the American female voice sounded so dissappointed with me I had to change it.

"sigh..... recalculating.....(you moron)."

Now the Austrailian female voice... she's fantastic  Bigok
