>>> another one of those studies says men who refuse to ask for directions actually extract a huge cost to society and the environment as well as allegedly aggravating fellow passengers in the car. while i wasn't familiar with this dynamic myself, a british insurance company did a study and figured out that men who stubbornly drive around without knowing exactly where they are waste $3,000 a year in extra gas, but you will notice we always seem to get to our destination somehow.
