1. Post 7 of 36 Lauraloo
   I've had a few awkward moments while using some gadgets. This year we went to London. My dad bought a GPS receiver so we could find our way around town easily. One evening I decided to use it to walk to a restaurant with my parents. A I couldn't wait to try it out. Everyone followed me eagerly. But after walking half an hour we found ourselves at the same spot. I was puzzled. Then, we understood. The GPS receiver was on driving mode and only my sister pointed across the square. There was the restaurant. We took us through all the one-way streets to reach the restaurant!

   I think the most embarrassing moment I've ever had with a gadget was with my new smartphone. My dad bought this really cool smartphone for my birthday. F I took it out of its box and started playing around with it. It has an excellent menu and loads of applications but it was all new to me then. I was so busy going through the menu that suddenly I walked smack-bang into someone and their ice cream went all over me. Everyone around laughed at me standing there like a circus clown with ice cream all over my face. I had a good laugh about it with my parents later that day though.

Explanation:
Sentence 1: The phrase 'couldn't wait to try it out' logically follows the excitement of receiving a new GPS receiver and wanting to use it immediately to navigate.
Sentence 2: The phrase 'took it out of its box and started playing around with it' directly explains the cause of the subsequent embarrassment of walking into someone with ice cream, as the person was distracted by their new smartphone.

The extra sentence is: D The worst was with my dad's GPS receiver.
