Asking For Directions
We have been going around in circles for the past hour! Will you just please stop and ask for directions?
We are not lost! I’m just taking the scenic route.
Yeah, whatever. I told you we should buy that GPS that was on sale, but would you listen to me? No! This is so typical.
Fine! I’ll ask this guy for directions if it will shut your trap! Excuse me, sir. Can you tell me how to get to Saint Mary’s Church?
Sure! Go down Park Road. turn left, go up as far as the set of traffic lights and turn left. The place you are looking for isthe second building on the right.
Thanks!
See? Was that hard? If you would only listen to me more often, you would be better off.
