Embarrassing Phone GPS Scare
Permalink  

Kathy,and I were in Tuncurry for a 10 day stay last week

and decided to get a Hamburger for tea.

I couldn't remember where McDonalds was, so did a search of the 

area,on the GPS I have in my Phone,(Android IGO Primo)

Found McDonalds in Forster several klm's away,put phone in top

pocket,and following the Voice instructions,arrived at their doorstep.

We went inside,and I ordered Tea,Kathy said I have to go for a Wee,

when she came back,I handed her the order docket,and said I have to

go for a Wee now too,can you get our Hamburgers,I've already paid.

So,I,m standing in the men's toilet,no one else in there but me.

Done the search,and rescue thing,found the Item i needed,all set to go.

Next thing I hear,is this Cultured English LADIES Voice, "GPS signal Lost"

 

Believe me,the last thing I expected to hear in a Mens Toilet,is a female voice

sounding like it was standing right next to me

I damn near fainted,until I realised what it was.

True Story,I'll leave the bloody thing in the car next time

John

Gotta love technology. Les and I love hearing the voice, we have fun setting it up when we are coming home from the city. It's great to listen to it tell us how to get home (we already know, we just like to listen) ha ha ha

That's a good story John.
Strange - young blokes and sheilas don't really stress that much on whether they use male or female toilets whereas no way in 100 years would I use a female toilet. Some of my kids don't even bother to close the toilet door.

Hi Denis,

well,I am the same,born in 1949,there's no way would I leave the toilet door

open,nor use a female toilet,doesn't bother my kids,or Grandkids

but it bothers me.

 

Funny thing is, it wouldn't have happened,if I could have found Maccas

on my car GPS,I had upgraded the Maps,and forgot to upgrade the POI's.

we had been to Maccas before when we were up here,I just couldn't remember where it was.

It really is unnerving when hearing a young Ladies voice in a Male Toilet

at my age.

regards

John
