I threw my GPS out the window today

[Old BuckParticipant 3596]

I was on the way home from work, and had to detour around road construction. I started a new job and the area is new to me.

I turned the GPS on, which took a while to turn on. Eventually I hit the home button and started to follow “her” directions.

I was going in circles, headed east just to turn south and back west again.
What the f~~~….. this bitch is lost.
I actually pulled over and started digging thru menus hoping I could change the voice. No luck.

I decided to ignore “her” and just drove on instinct and got my bearings straight. “Turn left”. No goddammit. “Turn around here”. I got so p~~~ed off I was screaming at this GPS. I thought about it for a second, rolled the window down, and chucked it out of the window. I yelled F~~~ YOU I AM GOING MY OWN WAY! and just started laughing.

Happy MGTOW day!

Don't chase tail. Turn yours around, walk away, and live free!

My friend’s family and I were going to stone mountain GA several years ago and he was driving using the GPS and the GD thing couldn’t find the entrance. We could see the mountain and the park and the s~~~ty little device couldn’t find a way in. Finally I just pointed at the sign along the road that said “Entrance to Park turn here”.

Nothing beats good old navigation skills 🙂

I used the GPS more as a map, just showing where I am, and calling out the road ahead.
Great for night time driving. Its a lot easier than pulling over, unfolding a map, take up the whole passenger area to read it, and then fold it back up……

It was an older Garmin Nuvi, with a small screen. My phone has a GPS and its battery lasts longer than 5 minutes unplugged. No loss.

Don't chase tail. Turn yours around, walk away, and live free!

Haha! LITERALLY going your own way!

I use the squirrel voice on my GPS.

I once got really lost in Sacramento, at night. First time driving around in that city by myself, and the largest city I’d ever been in. Didn’t have a GPS or a smartphone at the time. So what do I do? I pulled into a gas station, bought a map, and consulted it. I got my bearings, and got home just fine.

How could you do that to her on valintines day!

Rideing with a guy.
Going around in circles in Chattanooga.
Im telling him the sign says that way to the highway.
He only listens to females.
Around and around and around…
We never did make it back.

When the hell did you record my voice May?
Other than that… Sounds like an awesome GPS 🙂

There was a time in my life when I gave a fuck. Now you have to pay ME for it

The fact that I use a female voice on my sat nav makes it a lot easier to be understanding when it gives wrong directions or the right direction too late. I mean what was I expecting from a female?

A woman is like fire -fun to play with, can warm you through and cook your food, needs constant feeding, can burn you and consume all you own

I remember using a map book/ road atlas to find where I needed to go for years. So much that I knew what pages were for what area.

A GPS is no different than a woman.

You have to know when to ignore her and when to let her suck your dick.

I get along with mine for the most part, but I do agree they’re void of rational decisions just like a woman…

Our grandchildren will laugh at us for having such an idiot box device that tells us where we’re going called the “GPS”. First of all, where they expect the signal to come from, Detroit?

Our grandchildren will have self driving cars when their our age and will laugh at the transitional GPS just as we laugh at the beta-max VHS, contrivercy of the 1980’s.

I’ll rather just use the GPS on my phone, maps update automatically and the battery doesn’t die in 10 f~~~ing minutes, I never had an actual GPS device that worked right, I’m surprised those pieces of s~~~ still sell with the high quality GPS on smart phones now.

When my brother and I were young and we rode in the car with my dad, whoever was in the front passenger seat was the navigator — literally. If we were in an unfamiliar area, navigator had to read the map and watch for roadsigns. It was partly a game, but it also taught us how to use paper maps. I don’t use it much, but I still carry a road atlas in the truck. Even if my phone takes a dump, it’ll still work. I also own a Garmin hiking GPS, but Garmin has decided that my formerly top-of-the-line unit isn’t worthy of map updates anymore… so I’ll never buy anything from them again. (It’s not as though these maps were free, either — Garmin charged $100+ for each set… and if they had the internal software tools to port maps to it at one time, they should still have the ability to do so!)
