Ah the conveniences of modern life. Cell phones to talk to people anywhere. Computers to shop anywhere. GPS units to give us directions to anywhere.

So, picture a woman driving in the right lane of a 2 lane highway, approaching a intersection. Suddenly, she slows down to a crawl. Traffic begins to pile up behind her. She flips on her left hand turn signal. Oh. Simple enough, right? She wants to make a left at the intersection. Two problems. First, going left would be the wrong way on very busy one way street. Two, there is significant traffic passing her in the left lane.

Halfway through the intersection, she stops, and tries to force her car in the way so she can make a left. Once she's about 45 degrees into the turn, she has a realization. I'm not sure what sparked it, but it looks like she finally realizes what she did wrong. She whips her car out of the left hand turn, and finally takes the right.

Sadly, I know why she did it. I could see it sitting on her dashboard. She was too busy listening to her GPS system tell her to turn right that she forgot which direction she was supposed to turn.

Here's a little hint, easy to do while you're driving even. Extend your index finger and thumb on both hands so the index finger points up, and the thumb points to the side. Look at the shape they make. The one that looks like an L... is left. The other one is right. Remember that, and you'll never get outsmarted by your GPS system again.

Fuckchop.
