Oh, I don't know. Actually, I like the wrong turns. Makes things rather
humorous. Like when you pull into a parking lot with the intention of
going out the other side only to discover it is closed off so you all
have to do a U-turn in the same parking lot, then you watch the back end
of your group pass up the parking lot completely because they didn't
know you had pulled into the parking lot in the first place to wait for
them.
