Onstar could be the death of me!

So I decided to activate the onstar for my car. I was very excited! I mean how cool to just push a button to call someone or get directions? Well its not as easy as it sounds people! It usually takes me 10 times longer to call someone than if I had just used my cellphone! Heres an average conversation I have with the onstar lady. Now to set the scene: I am driving down town Crawfordsville @ 5:00p trying to call home. I'm at a stop light and there are cars all around me. Oh, and I have left my cellphone at home.

Onstar: onstar ready
Me: dial
Onstar: I'm sorry?
Me: dial ( in louder tone now)
Onstar: Slower please
Me: Duh I al!
The cars around me are now looking at me with wierd expressions on their face wondering why I'm yelling at my rearview mirror. Theres one Tahoe who is laughing and shaking his head like he is saying yes. Obviously he has Onstar and feels my pain! So I hit the phone button to end the call and try again. Maybe if I use the call option ,which allows you to use a number that you have stored with a name taged to it, that this will go a smoother.

Onstar: onstar ready
Me : call
Onstar: I didn't catch that
Me: CALL
Onstar: slower please
Me: Kuh All!!
Onstar : Did you say call? say yes or no.
Me:yes
Onstar: slower please.
Me: ya es!
Onstar: O.K.! who would you like to call?
Me : Home
Onstar: Did you say Joan? Say yes or no.
Me:NO!
Onstar: O.K. lets try again... Who would you like to call?
Me: HOME
Onstar: Did you say home?
Me : YES!
Onstar: O.K. calling home!
Thank goodness!!
After the phone stars ringing I start to laugh thinking about what had just happened! I'm sure I looked like an idiot!
