She also cannot parallel park if she were to park on the side of an aircraft runway.
I cannot understand how are people like her get a license, furthermore she could not understand how to read oldschool roadmaps. Her reasoning is GPS is eveywhere. So has the gene pool gone bad or something else that Im missing.

Gene pool is just fine. Skills like prallel parking, reading engine gauges and maps are no longer required. You are the dinosaur, my friend, heading for extinction. Your lady friend is a rung, or two, higher on that evolutionary ladder than you ( or me).
