This was actually last weekend but I started heading south for a three hour drive from southern Orlando area to visit family in south Florida. Literally no turns for about 200 miles using the turnpike. There’s only a few exits between the two major cities.
I stopped halfway to get gas and ate a Wendy’s cheeseburger at a rest area. I even sat down at the stop just to eat and get my eyes off the road for a bit. Once I finished I got back on the highway, put on an obviously interesting podcast, and just drove for about another hour and a half until I arrived at the exact same exit that I just got off at from home.
I had just drove three hours for a Wendy’s cheeseburger.
I was screaming, cursing, and really bashing myself for just achieving this level of stupidity. No one else seemed to think it was anything but hilarious. Looking back at it it now, it really is hilarious, just not when it happens to you.
Tldr - I drove 1.5 hours south, stopped for a cheeseburger, then **accidentally drove 1.5 hours north.
