Not so much a sucky situation, but funny and definitely airheaded. 
So, on Thursday, I put my nearly 18 year old son on a plane to visit my parents who live in central Florida.
First off, the plane was delayed over an hour, so they were both a little frustrated when he arrived at Orlando.
He carried his bag on, because my dad is too impatient to wait around for the checked luggage and hates crowds. In retrospect this was a good move, because with the hour-plus delay, it would have stretched well into 2 hours by the time they retrieved the bag. Orlando airport sucks.

This is a kid who is a funny combo of computer nerd and street smart, and is nearly 18 years old, but had apparently never before encountered GPS.
I texted back that it's GPS.

That did it. I completely lost it and was literally laughing till tears were streaming down my face.
I told my ex-fiance about it, who turned around and texted him that he should ask that question to my parents and see how quickly he gets swatted upside the head.
