I'm Not From Around Wherever It Is I Am

One Sunday at the theater. Woman calls...

She: Are you on South Halsted or North Halsted?

Me: We're at 3133 North Halsted.

She: We're at 33rd Street and South Halsted. (Apparently the lack of a theatre at that location wasn't sufficient to convince her we weren' t there.)

Me: .....okay.

She: Which way do we go to get to the theater?

Me: If you're on South Halsted, and you need to get to North Halsted, I guess you'll want to go north.

She: Oh, okay -- towards the lake.

Me: I'm afraid not. Halsted doesn't run east and west, it runs north and south, um, towards Wisconsin.

She: Well, yeah, I meant downtown. (As if I were somehow the fool for not realizing lake = downtown.)
