An online delivery in Britain took an unexpected detour — straight into the water. Following GPS directions a little too faithfully, the driver steered the van off the road and into a shallow waterway, apparently trusting the blue line more than basic eyesight. No one was hurt, but the van ended up partially submerged, turning a routine drop-off into a full-blown splash delivery. Moral of the story? Using common sense is better than following directions blindly.‘Maybe use your eyes?’As the clip went viral, social media users were baffled that the driver didn’t reverse the moment water came into view. “How can someone be so thick?” wrote one. Another asked, “Shouldn’t common sense have kicked in at some point?” A third shared their own sat-nav horror story — once being told to “cut across” a field en route to Heathrow. Trust issues, activated.Navigation gone nauticalVideo footage shows the delivery van rolling calmly down a quiet road — until it doesn’t. Moments later, the GPS-guided vehicle is slowly but surely floating in a shallow waterway. Passersby stand agape, phones out, as the driver scrambles to reverse out of his watery waypoint.
