Q: A new survey says that the average person wastes 29 hours a year because of following this bad advice?

A: Advice from their GPS

According to a new survey, the average person wastes 29 hours a year because of bad advice from their GPS.

The main ways they waste our time are by giving us confusing directions so we have to backtrack . . . picking weird routes . . . or leading us into traffic.

That’s about a 1/2 hour a week that your GPS is costing you.

The survey also found 47% of us have gotten into a shouting match with our GPS even though, you know, it’s not a person and it can’t hear you.
