Today, after leaving work at 10 pm, I took a shortcut to the highway. After getting lost, my GPS informed me that the service was unavailable and I should try back in an hour. This occurred moments before I ran out of gas. FML

Today, my GPS told me that I'd reached my destination. In the middle of the highway. FML
Today, my GPS led me to a "shortcut" that took me through a winding dirt road in the middle of nowhere. My car got stuck in the mud, and the tow truck driver told me I was the third person he's pulled out this week from the same "shortcut." FML
Today, I agreed to go on a last-minute road trip with my friends. Everything was going great until we realized we had no GPS signal in the middle of nowhere.

Today, I tried to take a shortcut home. I got lost and had to ask a stranger for directions. They pointed to the street sign above me that literally had my street's name on it. FML
Today, I was driving out to a concert I've been excited about for months. I was using my GPS to guide me to the venue. It decided to guide me to an abandoned warehouse in the middle of town. FML
Today, my car broke down on my way home from university. I tried calling for help, only to realise my phone had completely run out of charge. Luckily, I had passed a police station so I decided to walk the 10 minutes down the road to ask for a phone. When I got there, the station was closed. FML

You kind of deserve it. NEVER take a shortcut unless you're absolutely sure it will get you to where you're going. ALWAYS fill up on gas BEFORE you're in danger of running out. And if you own a GPS...freaking use it BEFORE you get lost!

isn't the point of having a gps in the first place so that you don't get lost?

I don't understand what kind of forest you work at to have gps not function and to get lost simply going to the highway

Whatever happened to knowing the area you live in? YDI for not knowing the way between work and home... seriously...

If you don't know anything about where you live or work you are a moron and do not need to be driving. Gps is used to help navigate in unfamiliar areas. Not I went from work home. Ydi

but maybe she's just a small town girl, living in a lonely world. her bloke - a city boy, who was born and raised in south detroit - took a midnight train going anywhere, was therefore unavailable and couldn't help her, resulting in her predicament. /lame but yeah, a lot of them are a bit unreliable... and shit.

country folk actually tend to know back roads better than city people. people from the city are the ones that get lost more often

A GPS is not as reliable as others think...unless you buy a super expensive one, apparently.
