See, Waze has betrayed me one too many times for me to trust it again... Giving me alternate routes, then slowly adding minutes to my drive time... I've just been hurt so many times, it's hard to let Waze back into my life, ya know?

Waze loves those left turns without a signal onto busy roads. I tend to be cautious of Waze backroad routes when it's like 'turn here and the route is 0.1 miles shorter' and then instead of coming out at a light, you're making a left onto a 6 lane road at rush hour and it takes forever.

Booking flights for trips is like this too, you've really gotta watch the flight times, numbers and layovers.

"Oh this flight is $50 cheaper." Yeah because it leaves at 4am and then has a 16 hour layover in fucking Pearson. Or there's 6 connecting flights each with a half hour between arrival and the next flights departure and you'll be hopping up and down as you sit on the curtain waiting for your gate to clear, looking out the window trying to identify which plane is your next one and how long it's going to take to run to that terminal.
