Asking your passenger to unfold the map cause you're not sure where you are going. Watching them try to find out where we are by reading passing road signs, then waiting for them to find the legend that will tell them how many miles to the inch on the map, and therefore how much farther we need to go.
Then after a while, realizing that we haven't passed any of the places that they assured me were "just up ahead", taking the map from them and placing it over the steering wheel & trying to read it and drive at the same time.
Discovering that they had thought we were on highway 471, when we were actually on highway 417, getting upset, finding out where we really are and handing the map back to them.
And then watching them spend the next half hour trying to figure out how to fold the map back up the way it's supposed to be, give up, and just crumple it up & stuff it back into the glove box.
Also...Smoking on a plane.
