Matt: Veer as in make a right at the bridge?
Me: No, I think it’s more like stay with curve.
Matt: There are no curves. It’s a straight road.
Navigation System: Please veer to the right in 600 meters.
Me: Ugh, I can’t stand meters! How far is that? Like, two laps in a Olympic pool, right?
Matt: B, I’m trying to focus. Veering me could mean turning at the bridge or taking the small road up there.
Me: No, 600 meters is more like the straight away in the 400 meter dash with the little bit of the curve as well.
Matt: Stop thinking about the Olympics and help me figure ou—
Navigation System: Please veer right in 300 meters.
Matt: Is that the bridge or the road?!
Me: I can’t do math quick enough! To figure out meters you divide it by five then multiply it by three.
Matt: That’s to find out KILOMETERS!!!
Navigation System: Please veer right in 200 meters.
Me: I can’t take the pressure!!!! I can’t figure out the math!
Matt: JUST TELL ME WHAT VEER MEANS!
Me: DON’T YELL AT ME!
Matt: I’M NOT YELLING! I’m not yelling, I’m just trying to figure out—
Navigation System: Veer to the right.
Matt: Here? Right now?
Me: Baby, she can’t hear you. Watch out for the car! OhMyGosh, I’m GOING TO DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Car pulled over on the side of the road]
Navigation System: You are off the destination route. Please make a u-turn and veer left.
Me: Oh, shut up!
Matt: Baby, she can’t hear you.
My family uses the American settings on our GPS, but the British accent voice. So fun!
LOL I will pray for you & your husband's safety on the road in Europe! 🙂
ha ha ha ha ha!!! There's a reason our family call those things sat-faffs!
Hope you made it in one piece and still married!
Ah ha ha ha!! That is TOO funny and cute!! x
oh no! lol. Marriage building Bianca, marriage building. . . my husband and I went to Italy last year and our GPS wasn't updated with the new "autostradas". If we had "veered right in 90 meters" we would've hit cows in a pasture. It's so scary and frustrating then, but we can laugh about it now-about a year later….:) Hang in there!
haha….hilarious!
hahaha hilarious … ;D!
OH MY GOSH.. that is just tooooo funnny!! hahahaa
Cracking Up!! Just got a Dallas flashback!!
bless y'all's hearts!! that's something the two of you can laugh about whenever you think back on your trip to europe 🙂
o how i LOVE this! sounds like me & my hubby in the car. i have serious car-anxiety when i'm not driving. & i can only imagine when we finally get to travel abroad in the upcoming years 😉 p.s. bianca, i have been a silent reader for some time. i just wanted to send you a virtual hug for living your dream out loud and inspiring so many people (me included). xx
This reminds me of every trip we took our youth group on for trips. Turn here? Turn here? Oh, you should have turned there. Let's go through Washington D.C. without map? Sure. Why not. I love it. Those are some of our funniest stories we have now. At the time I wanted to cry mainly because of lack of sleep, but now I smile every time. Enjoy!!!
… And you both called what you very much knew was a machine, "she". A funny story. Two people I'm very glad found each other. No GPS required. Thank you for this. It made me smile. God bless and keep you and each and every one of yours Bianca.
Oh my goodness! Thank you for posting this! I needed that laugh! Oh and roughly a meter is 3 feet, not that it helps now… but hopefully in the future! I've never rented a car in Europe… because of that exact reason. You two are brave, but you are making fun memories, one day they will be fun!
I hate getting yelled at for no reason.. Our GPS told us to make a u-turn in the middle of the freeway!!!! and I got yelled at for not responding fast enough.. yeah it was my son yelling MAKE A U TURN MOM!!! *sigh*
Praying for ya… both of you!!!
HAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have not laughed so hard in WAY too long!!!!!!!!!!!! Only… I am at work, so I couldn't really laugh aloud……… ohhhhh boy it is SO hard to laugh quietly when you could actually roll on the floor in hysterics!!
That is gold!
Thanks for brightening my day =D
Hahah! Awesome! Whenever I need awesome, I just need to turn to your blog. For real!
