The verdict
Without you, the group would have been going in circles since 2019. You book, you calculate, you follow up, you recalculate. But ask “how do you feel?” and your GPS says “searching for signal”. Your emotions live in a folder called “Deal with later”. It has 40 tabs open.
Useless superpower
Splitting a bill for 11, drinks, desserts and non-drinkers included, in your head.
Red flag
You write minutes for parties.
JINX says yes to every bad plan, you check the address, the times and the weather first. With you, for once, their plan works.
TICK-TOCK never answers polls, shows up in pyjamas at 11 instead of 9 and explodes over who gets the front seat.
FAQ
How do you spot a GPS?
They’re the group admin, the author of the poll and of the shopping spreadsheet. Any personal question gets a “fine”, followed by the departure time.
Who does GPS get along with best?
JINX: one checks everything, the other says yes to everything. Together, JINX’s plans finally end well.
How do you survive a GPS?
Answer the polls, pay them back on time, and once a year ask how they’re doing. Then actually wait for the answer.
