Dad Was Your First Uber Driver (And He Had Absolutely No Idea Where He Was Going)

Dad driving at night while looking at a paper map with confused expression as children sit in the back seat and GPS struggles to load.

15 May, 2026

He drove you everywhere. Confidently. Incorrectly. Without once admitting he was lost. This June, we are finally giving Dad the recognition he deserves. And a break from the wheel.

Let us talk about something that does not get nearly enough attention.

Mother’s Day gets diamonds on sale for three thousand dollars. Father’s Day gets cargo shorts marked down to eleven. Mom gets breakfast in bed, a spa day, and a heartfelt card with a poem inside. Dad gets a tie he will wear once, a gift card he will lose, and a phone call that starts with “oh right, it is Father’s Day.“

We decided to change that.

Because here is the truth about dads that nobody puts in the commercials: they showed up. Every single time. Not always with the right directions, not always with the right words, not always with any idea whatsoever what they were doing, but they showed up. And somehow, against all reasonable odds, it worked out.

At Seven Eleven Taxi, we spent all of May celebrating the moms in our Mother’s Day series. Now it is Dad’s turn. And we are giving him the whole month of June.

🚗 A Brief and Completely Accurate History of Dad's Navigation Skills

Before GPS. Before Google Maps. Before anyone could tell him he had taken a wrong turn four exits ago, there was Dad. Behind the wheel. Absolutely certain he knew where he was going.

He did not know where he was going.

But here is the thing about Dad’s driving: it was never really about the destination. It was about the experience of getting there, which occasionally involved three U-turns, one very long detour through a neighbourhood nobody recognized, and a firm refusal to stop and ask for directions because he had a system and the system was fine.

The system was not fine.

But you got there. Eventually. And somehow those wrong turns became the stories everyone tells at Christmas dinner.

🗺️ Things Dad Said With Complete Confidence While Being Completely Lost

“I know a shortcut.” He did not know a shortcut. What he knew was a different route that took approximately forty minutes longer and passed a Tim Hortons he liked.

“We are not lost. I know exactly where we are.” He knew what province he was in. That was the extent of it.

“The map says turn left here.” The map was from 1987. The road he wanted to turn left on no longer existed.

“Just five more minutes.” This was said four times. The trip took another forty-five minutes.

“Ask your mother.” The one time he admitted defeat. Quietly. Under his breath. So nobody heard it except you.

📼 The Cassette Tape He Refused to Change

You know the one. It had been in the tape deck since 1994. It had been rewound so many times the tape was slightly warped on the B-side. There were approximately twelve other cassettes in the glove compartment but that particular one was playing and it was going to keep playing because Dad was driving and Dad chose the music and the music was fine.

The music was Eagles. It was always Eagles.

😂 But First. Watch This.

Before we go any further, this one is for every person who ever sat in the back seat while Dad navigated using pure instinct and sheer stubbornness. It has been watched tens of millions of times and it earns every single one of them.

If that did not make you think of your dad immediately, check your pulse.

⛽ The Things He Did Without Being Asked

Here is where we stop laughing for just a second and say the thing that actually needs to be said.

Yes, Dad got lost sometimes. Yes, the cassette tape was a choice nobody else would have made. Yes, he once drove forty minutes in the wrong direction before acknowledging that something might be slightly off with the route.

But he also did a lot of things nobody noticed, because that is exactly how he did them. Quietly. Without announcement. Without expecting recognition.

He checked your tires before every long drive. He sat in the parking lot outside your school play for twenty minutes so he would get a good seat. He drove you to practice at 6:00 a.m. without complaining, even the mornings he definitely wanted to complain. He picked you up at midnight from places he did not ask too many questions about. He put gas in the car you borrowed and never mentioned it. He paid for things he never told you about.

Dad was not the taxi driver who asked for five stars at the end of the trip. He was the one who never sent an invoice at all.

🍁 This June, Dad Rides in the Back Seat

Seven Eleven Taxi has been serving families across Brampton and Orangeville for over 24 years. This Father’s Day, we think the man who drove everyone else everywhere deserves to be the passenger for once.

No navigation required. No wrong turns. No cassette tapes unless he specifically requests them, which honestly he might.

Whether Dad wants a night out at a FIFA World Cup match at Toronto Stadium on June 20, a Father’s Day dining cruise on Lake Ontario, a round of golf somewhere he has been meaning to try, or just a clean comfortable ride to dinner without worrying about parking, we will get him there and back.

Book his ride through our app on iOS or Android, online at seveneleventaxi.ca, or call us anytime at 905-454-9999 (Brampton) or 519-216-8000 (Orangeville).

For the dad who deserves something truly special, ask about our Luxury Limousine Service. Because he spent years driving a minivan with a broken cup holder and a back seat full of hockey equipment. He has earned the upgrade.
