I guess I can understand that feeling. Let's break it down though: "you don't get to appropriate the road that I helped fund with tax money and that belongs to everyone" When Waze sends me off into some neighborhood it's not usually someplace I'm familiar with, certainly not even the same town I pay taxes in i.e. I didn't help fund that road. "If it's a public road and I drive legally and responsibly then there's no problem." The thing is, people often don't drive responsibly except in their own neighborhood (and maybe not even then). I saw a sign once that said something along the lines "Please drive like your own kids play here." The people who take a short cut to save time are probably not the ones who are willing to go 20 miles an hour looking for kids on bikes, house cats in roads, etc.
