Waze, the app that promises to guide you home, often takes you… elsewhere. Picture this: You’re ten minutes late to an appointment, and Waze, your trusty co-pilot, reroutes you into what seems like a labyrinth designed by a mischievous Greek god. Suddenly, you’re circling dead-ends, staring at ominous “No U-Turn” signs, and wondering if Waze is short for “Where Are Zoning Engineers?”

And what’s with those prompts? “Turn right,” it whispers, just as you sail past the exit like a contestant on a high-speed game show. Rumors swirl that Waze is in cahoots with fast-food chains and gas stations—why else would your “quick route” involve so many pit stops conveniently located near fries and fuel?

Is Waze a navigator or a prankster? One thing’s certain: when it says “You’ve reached your destination,” it’s probably laughing harder than you are.
