It's a guy's thing!!

Mr.GB invited Claire and I for dinner tonight. The vegetable soup and the special casserole was very yummy! Hmm...Mr. GB is definitely a good cook! =) After dinner, we decided to check out the infamous Queen's homecoming party street, and sure enough, there were lots of drinking going on, and there were at least a dozen cops on the street! On our way back home, we saw a cell phone lying on the ground in front of Pizza Pizza. We decided to find out the last person that the owner of the phone had called, and called that person (T).

So it turned out that the owner of the phone was actually at T's place, and Mr.GB, being the nice guy agreed to deliver the phone back to the owner. After Mr.GB hung up the phone, he told us that the owner of the phone lives at 212 Albert Street, but he wasn't sure. Mr. GB is fairly new in town and doesn't know Kingston very well. He wasn't sure if he heard "Albert" or "Alfred" because the phone volume wasn't loud enough. I asked Mr. GB to phone that person again to ask, but he wanted to try out Alfred first since it's closer. When we reached 212 Alfred the inside of the house was very dark, so we didn't think it was the right house. Now Mr. GB is thinking: maybe it's 216 Alfred! So again I asked him to call T for a verification of the address. He said, "No no no, we'll knock on 216 Alfred and then see if we are at the right place. It's a guy's thing you know!!" So I was like: Okay then, if it's a guy's thing.

At 216 Alfred, we asked for A, the owner of the phone, and the girl who answered the door said that A is too sick to come out. Then Mr.GB was like: "I was just talking to her!" The girl who answered the door said: "Haha...uh...no, I don't think you were talking to her..." So we were at the wrong house again! But the funny thing is there was another A in this house!! We almost gave the phone to a random person who has the same name as the owner of the phone!

Finally after much persuasion Mr. GB agreed to call T again for the correct address. When we got there, T answered the door, and we gave the phone to T to give it to A. As we were leaving the house, we were thinking: OK, so I guess this person wasn't too eager to get her phone back! 10 seconds later, A ran out and yelled, "Hey!! Thank you so much for dropping off the phone! I really appreciate it!"

What an adventure!! Now GUYS!!! You gotta speak up for yourselves! Is it really "a guy's thing" that you would rather bum around, make mistakes than to ask for directions for a second time???
