Ever made a typo that really messed up your day? Maybe in an email at work or on a legal document? Well have you ever ended up 400 miles away from where you started because of it?

Just reading an article about a Swedish couple searching for the pristine waters of the popular island of Capri and they ended up 400 miles away in the northern industrial town of Carpi after misspelling the destination on their car’s GPS.

A spokesman for the Carpi town hall, near Modena, said the couple drove into the main square last week and asked the local tourist office how to reach Capri’s famed Blue Grotto sea cave.

The funny thing is Capri is an island and the couple did not even wonder why they didn’t cross any bridge or take any boat.

Now that is a pain in the ass for some bad spelling.
