I get an email about an upcoming wrestling tournament.

It doesn't give an address, and doesn't explicitly identify a school. It possibly indicates a school district (although not a school), but it's one I've never heard of, so that means nothing to me. Could be a club for all I know.

So I reply saying it's unclear to me where it is.

Answer: "I thought it was clear, it's our event"

Ok, fuckyou very much. We won't be going.

Well at least you are consistent. You treat your friends the same way you treat people on this forum.

We were once given directions to a gymnastics meet that put us squarely in the middle of an oil refinery.

Doesn't anyone use GPS?

Gotta watch for those valve handles when doing the pommel horse on pipes. Plus those slick dismounts can be dangerous.

You need an address for those to work. Probably seems like magic to you.

You're not going because you had to clarify the address?

Purposefully misspelling abstruse to make a subtle point is brilliant.

You have no idea.

Clarify?

There was no location given. None at all.

Driving around the entire state on a Sat morning, looking for a youth wrestling tournament? Not a good plan.

Sounds like a John Hughes film.

GPS devices have landed me in the middle of a corn field before... Back when I was a technician for the company I work for, I was in eastern Tennessee with another tech, and the GPS had me going down a one lane road (not too uncommon) and the road on the GPS matched it perfectly, when I finally came to a dead end, and my GPS said I have arrived at my destination (around 10:00pm), There was just a small rundown house with one chair on the porch, an 80's model Chevy 4x4 all beat up and lifted, two rebel flags on either side of the rickety front porch, one single lit lantern with a dim glow coming from it, and we were surrounded by woods. As I was assessing the situation, trying to find a way to turn around (because this scene even scared the shookins out of me), I looked over at the black technician with me, and all I could see were his big white eyes as he said "OH LORD JESUS! GET ME THE F*CK OUT OF HERE! PLEASE!" My only option was to back my van, with no windows in it, all the way out of the winding, 3 or 4 mile single lane road.

That was some serious backwoods mountain man shiit right there... So yes, I've used a GPS, and no, I don't like them one bit.

Edit: There were windows on the front doors, but that's all.

We once showed up to a meet more than an hour late because our coach thought JF Webb was in Warrenton. It was on the schedule as OXFORD Webb.

Maybe GPS knew where you needed to go and not where you wanted to go.

BTW, why did you feel the need to mention that your passenger was black?

Yup, fitbud thinks GPS is magic.

Because the situation got right uncomfortable for my man. I've been there. Funny enough, it was in Canada.

Torch.. Maybe share the email with us so some can see the confusion.

My apologies. I didn't know you were talking about your significant other.
