This is a picture of my GPS two weeks ago. It actually said, as you can see, “Leave the road“. I thought to myself, WTF? Why would that phrase even be programmed into a GPS? And what prompted my GPS to decide that I needed to do that? Did my GPS know something I didn’t? Was it temporarily controlled by some mysterious outside force? I posted that picture on Facebook and my college friend Dave J. gave me the idea for this Top Ten list. (and yes, that is a Star Wars Tie Fighter and my GPS talks in Darth Vader’s voice. Nerdy but it keeps me entertained)
10. Leave the road: I wonder how many people would just blindly, without question, obey their GPS? I did not.
9. Seriously, put the car in park and look at your hair: Wouldn’t this be great? Or maybe it could tell you when you have something stuck in your teeth.
8. Turn down the alley: My GPS actually has this as a command. I’m pretty sure anytime that you turn into any alley you’re going to get murdered. It seems to be my GPS’s option when it doesn’t know a streets name. Either that or my GPS hates me.

7. Stop being a creepy stalker: If your GPS detects you repeatedly parking outside of the same address without getting out of the car it would tell you this. Imagine how many restraining orders this would prevent, and how many relationships it might save.
6. You’ve had too much to drink. I’m shutting the car down: I think every car should have a breathalyzer connected to the ignition. And no, I’ve never had to have one of those. It only seems like I must have been drunk when I wrote my blog.
5. Oh my God! Did you eat too much cheese again? Open the window: This one is pretty self-explanatory.
4. Calm down asshat. That was your fault: If our GPS could talk us out of road rage incidents the world would be a better place.
3. No, that girl/guy in the car next to you is not checking you out: I know that all guys fantasize that the roads are the world’s biggest night club and think that it’s possible to meet women just by looking at them. Do women believe this too?
2. Are you kidding me? Did you not hear me? I said turn right! Alright. Do whatever you want. This one’s not on me: I desperately want a really sarcastic GPS.
1. You’re going the wrong way. No, not on the road. In your life: Life advice from your GPS would be great wouldn’t it? It would be like getting in a therapy session during your morning commute.
So do you have any suggestions for what you think your GPS should say? Have a great Tuesday! ~Phil
I love that! Thanks GPS, super helpful. I had a GPS tell me to walk… I’m not sure who made the error (would rather blame the GPS but could have been me) but apparently where I was going was in the middle of a field 🙂
I think I need GPS out of the car, too. 😀
Obviously Nova didn’t need a GPS to find the basket at the end of the game. They knew right where it was.
That was an incredible finish! I’m so excited! And hopefully having the team that beat your team win, was a little comfort for you!
Having nova beat the team that beat my team is no consolation at all. Hopefully the Syracuse women will pull an upset tonight versus UConn.
Aw, I’m sorry 😞
Thanks fo rthe chuckle Phil 🙂
Sarcastic GPS? That HAS to be a real thing! If not we need to develop one -we’d make a fortune with that 😀
I’m going online to look for one now!
“You do know the windows aren’t 100% tinted and others can see you driving and trying to eat french fries, right?”
Why is that in quotes?
I think that we should all get dates
From tracing each other’s license plates.
Haha awsome!
After I say “Warp speed, Mr. Sulu” I want mine to reply “Aye, Captain. Warp speed engaged” LOL
That would be very cool, especially if it was voice activated
Even better! Of course the display would have to be the Enterprise 😃
I wish the GPS could sing “stop in the name of love!”
I’m sure people think I’m a corny romantic, but I was thinking every time the GPS spots a Taco Bell or something.
LOL, too funny! That would be great!
I need a GPS to say “slow down. I feel radar vibes.”
I think those are called radar detectors
Wha????
Mine should ask to see my driving license to make sure I am really able to drive lol
Cool Star Wars GPS. And I didn’t know you were a bball fan, Phil. Cool. Boeheim is an amazing coach. Since I’ve killed my television, mostly, I didn’t get to watch any of the NCAA games, although, hailing from the state of North Carolina, it is mandated that I view at least 5 college bball games—Duke, Carolina, or State—per season. Guess I’ll be fined or maybe jailed! Urgh! 😉
I grew up in Syracuse, so being a bball fan there is as mandatory as it is in North Carolina.
