So here’s a fact: Every female friendship group has a ‘Nicole’.
Her name might not literally be Nicole, but there’s always a Nicole.
Australian comedian Geraldine Hickey put forward the ‘Nicole’ friendship theory during her set at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
“My biggest fear with travel though is travelling in a group with no leader,” she says.
No.
That attitude just won’t do.
LISTEN: Every woman knows a ‘Nicole’. Post continues…
And that, Hickey says, is why every group needs a Nicole.
“Nicole comes in and she’s like: ‘Righto girls, this is what we’re doing! Buffet finishes at 10, you want to get there before 9:30, that’s when they stop cooking the pancakes, you want to get in on those pancakes, they’re good pancakes.
“The first bus leaves from the hotel at 10:15, we’re going to be on that bus for a morning of shopping.
“I booked us in for lunch at this place. Here’s the menu if you want to have a look so you know what to order before we get there.’”
Nicole is organised, she’s efficient, she’s productive.
There is precisely nothing Nicole hasn’t thought of.
“If you’re wondering who Nicole is…” Hickey continues, speaking to her live audience, “If you’re here in a group, Nicole booked the tickets.”

The Nicole theory of friendship, however, was just a theory.
Until now.
You see, last week a man named Carlos Zetina met a woman from Holland named Nicole. Nicole, a student from the University of Calgary, had a conversation with Carlos at a bar, and gave him her number.
But when Carlos tried to contact Nicole, it turned out she had “accidentally” given Carlos the wrong number.
What a shame!
She definitely meant to give him the right one!
Don’t you hate it when you mistakenly get your own number wrong.
Anywho, Carlos, being completely non-creepy and exercising only a healthy level of stalkerness, decided it would be reasonable to email every single Nicole at the University of Calgary. In a group email.
