Phone calls I never expected to receive...

My phone rings today, and I see that it's Peter's phone, so I answer, "Hey!"

But it's not Peter, it's Geoffrey.

G: "Peter's locked in the garage!"
Me: "What????"
G: "Peter's locked in the garage. He came into the garage, shut the door, and now the power's out and the knob on the door from the house to the garage won't turn"
Me: (asking the obvious, but hey) "Is the door from the house to the garage unlocked?"
G: "Yes, it just won't...Oh, here he is! He's out now!"

So, yeah, still not entirely sure how it was that it took to very bright young men so long to, um, turn a doorknob. Or why Peter didn't go out the outside people-door in the garage. But whatever, all's well that ends well!
