Bad Communications

We're in Manila doing various chores. The last one of the day is to pick up some materials from a supplier (note: this is an alternative supplier as the first one constantly changed his mind about the price, the location for pick up, the availability, the specification).

So the driver calls (on my phone) to get directions and proceeds to head so far out of Manila even I know we're heading in the wrong direction. So, and starting to get impatient, I get him to pull over at a service station.

He calls the supplier again and is (shouting) on the phone for 7 1/2 minutes. When I eventually get him off the phone I ask him where we're going and says he doesn't know.

I'm speechless.
