Thursday at work I needed to call a restaurant to get directions for my boss. I had googled the restaurant but I couldn't tell what side of the street the restaurant was on. Here is the conversation:
Restaurant: Hello - Peking Restaurant
Me: Yes, hello. Could you tell me which side of the street your restaurant is on, east or west?
Restaurant: Well, it depends on where you're coming from.
Me: No, I mean east or west.
Restaurant: Where are you coming from?
Me: From Fairfax City
Restaurant: Then it would be on your right, so that would be west.
Small pause......
Me: OK, well thank you then.
I may not be a city girl, but where I come from, being on the right is not necessarily west. I'm just saying.........
