Speckled Green

This is something random, but I really want to work out why this is: Why do (most) guys insist on not reading instructions or maps, thinking and saying that they know how it works or is done, or where to go? I mean sure, if you’ve done it heaps of times and you’ve learnt it, ok, but so many times… I find it so stupid really.
The typical road trip, for example, with the guy driving and the girl trying uselessly to guide the guy, who insists he knows the way and isn’t listening, with the map. I mean come on…
Anyways, that was just something random that I wanted to rant about =] Oh, and I DO read instructions, and I DO read maps, and I DO listen to other people’s advice and such with things. You might’ve noticed that I’m not exactly a typical guy.
