So I work for an equipment supplier for the automotive industry in Michigan. Occasionally, I have to go up to another office. So I was taking some parts to take up to that other office when this woman pulls up in the parking lot. About a mile down on the main street to the side of our building is John Boy's House of Bargains.
Woman: Can you tell me how to get John Boy's House of Bargain?
Me: (thinking a moment because I don't go there) Go to that street (pointing to the main street) and turn left.
Woman: How do I do that?
Me: (thinking) Well, pull out of this parking lot, go on the street in front of it (we are on a side street), turn right and then turn left at the light.
Woman: How?
Me: Okay, you see that street there (pointing to the side street)
Woman: Yes
Me: Get on that. Go over to the light (pointing to the light) and turn left.
Woman: How? Can you get in your car and I'll follow.
Me: No. I'm busy.
Woman: Explain again....
After about 5 minutes...I hoped she got it. I wonder if was the blue polo shirt I was wearing and she thought we were some super secret undisclosed location of John Boy's House of Bargains (kudos if you get the reference).
