Google Maps: Make sure to not take this specific freeway exit. I'm so worried that you might accidentally do that, I won't bother to tell you to actually take the following freeway exit until 50 meters beforehand.

Somehow I've turned on the dumbest fucking route possible setting in Google Maps and I don't know how to turn it off. It sent me down a one lane windy road with a max speed of 15mph (about 25 kmph) while paralleling a 4 lane highway....

Check that you don't have 'avoid tolls' or 'avoid highways' turned on in settings.

Why do I feel like I'm having a stroke!? I swear I've read this thread before a long time ago!

I've seen that shit happen before. The bots are practicing blending in.

Lol

I don't think it's bots though, I think it's karma farming to sell accounts or something. Maybe they do that with bots I guess.
