A really annoying day

Atlanta is a wonderful city to visit, but we asked ChatGPT to plan an annoying day for potential visitors:

7:00 AM: Morning Commute

  • Start your day by heading out during rush hour. Drive on I-285, Atlanta’s Perimeter Highway, known for its heavy traffic and frequent accidents. Aim for a section where there’s construction, such as near the I-85 interchange.

8:30 AM: Breakfast at a Crowded Fast Food Chain

  • Stop by a popular fast-food chain near a busy intersection, like the Chick-fil-A on Northside Drive. Order during the peak breakfast rush and wait in a long drive-thru line. Consider ordering something complicated or with substitutions.

9:30 AM: Visit the DMV

  • Visit the DMV on a day without an appointment. Pick the busiest location, such as the one on Pryor Street. Ensure you have incomplete or incorrect paperwork to maximize waiting time and frustration.

11:00 AM: Mid-Morning Trip to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport

  • Head to the airport to pick up a friend who’s arriving late. Circle the terminal a few times because they didn’t provide you with the correct gate information. Then, wait for an extended period due to delayed baggage claim.

12:30 PM: Lunch at an Overhyped Restaurant

  • Head to Ponce City Market, but instead of going to a renowned spot, pick a trendy, overpriced restaurant with mediocre reviews. Wait in a long line only to be seated at a cramped table next to a noisy group.

2:00 PM: Afternoon at an Art Museum During a School Field Trip

  • Visit the High Museum of Art right as multiple school groups arrive. Endure loud, chaotic children as you try to enjoy the exhibits. To add to the annoyance, go on a day when the museum has a limited exhibit.

3:30 PM: Coffee at a Slow Café

  • Stop by a hipster coffee shop like Octane, where the barista takes a painfully long time to make your order. There might also be no seating available, so you’ll end up standing awkwardly with your drink.

4:00 PM: Ride MARTA During Peak Hours

  • Take a ride on MARTA (Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority) during peak hours, possibly around 4:00 PM. Choose a route that’s known for being crowded and slow, such as the Red Line towards North Springs. If possible, find a car with a broken air conditioner.

5:30 PM: Unnecessary Trip to Lenox Square

  • Visit Lenox Square Mall during rush hour. Endure the crowded parking lots, aggressive drivers, and busy stores. Just browse, but don’t buy anything, and waste time looking for items that are out of stock.

7:00 PM: Dinner at a Noisy, Overbooked Restaurant

  • Try to get a last-minute reservation at a noisy, overrated restaurant in Midtown, like The Varsity, and wait for a table. End up seated near the kitchen or restrooms, where it’s loud and constantly busy.

9:00 PM: Attend a Sports Event with No Parking

  • Attend an Atlanta Hawks game at State Farm Arena, but leave late and struggle to find parking. Park far away, and then deal with the post-game traffic and crowds when leaving.

11:00 PM: Late-Night Traffic Jam

  • Wrap up your day by trying to head home via I-75 during a random construction-related traffic jam. Expect to sit in traffic for an extended period, possibly due to lane closures or an accident.

This plan should ensure a day filled with inconveniences and annoyances across Atlanta!
