The Camera Adds 10 Years

I’ve never understood why men have this subconscious tendency to avoid asking for directions under any circumstances. That’s why I have to say I’m a bit proud this man took the initiative to stop and ask where he was going. I immediately took it back when I read the rest of the story.
According to the AP, a carjacker got jacked himself when he stopped to ask for directions from a TV news crew.
Apparently he stole a car at gunpoint with the driver still inside, then stopped a reporter and her cameraman for directions because when you’re carjacking someone, you want to be around cameras as much as possible, live television cameras especially. Hey, you need to build a resume.
The driver managed to alert the news team that he was in trouble and followed the car until police arrived. They were also the first news team in the city to get the story. Well, that’s some damn fine journalism if you ask me.
The suspect was charged with aggravated robbery and arrested. On the way to jail, he escaped and stopped to ask directions from a police officer, meter maid and tazer toting crowd of Boy Scouts before they picked him up and placed him back in police custody.

now i see why men aren’t to ask for directions (especially from a camara reporter or after hijackling something/one-in his case both)
well if i didn’t know any better i would just say wat a dingaling
he should have learned his lesson by not asking for directions.
Especially when you’re runnin a way from the cops. If i were this dummy i would have tried to get out of state or hemisphere.
But that’s the way life goes for the stupid people!
LOL so sad LOL!

I didn’t think he was that bad until I read that he escaped and asked directions from a police officer. Tch.
