Just reading the headline off of !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! makes me wonder one thing: who wants instructions in the same style of the people who always get you lost?
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
Story number one:
“Am I hanging left or right here?”
“Uh, left. Maybe”
-Stays left-
“Whelp, looks like we’re taking the scenic route through downtown Hamilton. I’ll lock the doors.”
Another real story:
J: “Okay, where’s the next turn?”
-Car is silent-
J: “Which one of you has the map?”
P: “Oh, yeah, I do!”
J: “Fuck, who gave Paul the map? He legitimately has ADD. CB, take the map.”
-I take the map-
CB: “Okay, so we’re taking turn lanes on the left that merge onto the 417.”
-Everyone looks up and watches as we cruise by our exit-
J: “Motherfucker.”
But seriously, always look at the map before you go anyway so you can generally figure out where you need to go. Because as useless as some GPS units can be, at least they’re not people.
What are your worst stories relating to a passenger giving directions?
If only EssExTee could be so grossly incandescent

“Okay now go straight through the roundabout”
“You mean the second exit?”
“No, straight through”
“So... you’re telling me to drive over the island?”
“...”

Realistically, would you rather have something called an iphone(or apple, whatever) or would you rather have something called an ANDROID?

I’m an Android guy through and through, though if I need directions, I’ll usually print paper maps.

When they follow the direction they give with ...“I think”...

I made it thirty seconds in before the co-driver made me super angry.

The kids put their belts on earlier in the clip (0:20), before my time stamp.

Mme. Liberal: Uhm.

[passes turn]
Mme. Liberal: Yeah, we need to turn!
Me: [breathing in through nose, out through mouth and counting to 50]

Here’s my true story.
“Alright, where should we turn?”
“You were supposed to turn right back there.”
*turn around and drive back a bit*
“Let me know before the turn comes up.”
“Oh, you missed it again, we need to turn around.”
......
......

The guy is lucky I’m a nice person, or he’d have been walking.

*In the middle or left lane*
“You need to get off there.”
“Where’s there?”
“RIGHT THERE YOU’RE GOING TO PASS- You passed it.”

I feel this all too well. my parents are terrible at directions, so my mother relies on GPS in the car now.
I’d prefer rally-style pacenotes over that.

Out in the middle of nowhere in some poorly marked roads.
Passenger: “Dude, turn left here!”
I proceeded to turn left onto a one-way street and nearly run into a very surprised driver going the other direction. I went back to this intersection later and there was no marking telling you that the street was one-way, you were just supposed to know ... somehow.
