Been there.
My ex used to insist on taking a "short cut" everywhere we went. Nine times out of ten this would increase our drive time by at least 20%, and would often result in us taking a back road through farmland.

She used to swear that it was faster to go through the neighborhood than to go along Midlothian Turnpike- despite the fact that Midlothian Turnpike is a FUCKING STRAIGHT LINE.

I'm glad we're no longer married.
