Have you been visited by the forces of Karma, or watched it happen to other people?
Thanks to Pooflake for the suggestion

commutingI commute to work on the M5. 99% of the time it takes me 35 minutes. I could set my watch by it.
Even in the height of summer, trapped by caravans and tourists, it takes 1 hour on the Friday night.
So a couple of weeks back I finish work an hour early on the sly. Sort of a didn't take a lunch break thing but more accurately I was knackered and it was Friday.
Joyful at the idea of being home 25 mins before I normally even leave work I was dismayed to spot the "30mph ahead" warning on the motorway signs. So I quickly dashed off at the exit 1/2 mile ahead and was joyus in my quick thinking that presented me with a clear road to bypass the traffic.
Despite only needing to follow signs from Taunton southbound on the A38 I managed to get totally lost and was driving round on unlit country roads without a clue where I was.
By the time I made it home I had taken 2 hours to do my usual 35 min drive and somehow clocked up over 60 miles compares to my usual 33 miles. Despite chipping off early I'd managed to arrive home later than normal and was thoroughly pissed off.
Doubt I'll learn from my mistake though.
