I Run in Heels

Even Iphones make mistakes

Tonight I tested my Iphone with tricky directions and I'm sad to report...the Iphone was not up to the challenge.

I am directionally challenged. That's a well -documented fact. But that's 1 reason I bought the Iphone. And I trusted the Iphone. Tonight the Iphone broke that trust.

Well, to be fair, I made the 1st mistake, but the next 2 were the phone. And a 15-minute drive turned into an hour plus.

The lesson here? You can love your Iphone but just don't LOVE your Iphone.
