Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
At number two is the Sydney motorist who turned right when told
to so. He apparently did not realise that he was exiting the highway
early and driving into a building site. You might have thought that
reality would have dawned as he drove up some stairs and crashed into
the builders toilet though.
But there can be no doubting the current king of
satnav stupidity. That honour has to go to Syrian lorry driver Necdet
Bakimci who
somehow managed to haul his 32 tonne lorry complete with its load of
luxury cars from Turkey to Gibraltar via a whopping 1600 mile detour.
It seems his satnav thought that Coral Road in Gibraltar, off the
Spanish coast, was actually part of the UK mainland. Easy mistake to
make when you are a GPS satellite navigation device, not. But at what
point did the lorry driver decide he was going to just do as he was
told, rather than question the fact that he was driving more than a
thousand miles in the wrong direction? Stupid, stupid, stupid...
