Not SO sucky, but annoying... This was a telephone call I just got, and he wasn't senile or crazy either so it was just kind of strange.
Me: me
Guy: weirdo
Me: Hello, this is <place of business> (note: place of business has our street name in it)
Guy: What street are you on?
Me: *inwardly sighing* We're on <street I just said> between <street> and <street> in <part of town>
Guy: Oh, okay...is that near the freeway?
Me: Yes it is. (I hope he means the freeway we're nearby and not one of the 5 other huge freeways)
Guy: So what bus do I take to get there?
Me: ............
Me: That would depend on where you are.
Guy: Oh, I'm at the hospital!
Me: (that explains everything!) The hospital.
Guy: Yeah.
Me: Which hospital.
Guy: Oh, uh, Scripps I think.
(There's like 10 branches of Scripps in SD...)
Me: *desperate to end call* I don't know where that is sorry but I bet you can look up the bus routes on the internet! Sorry!
Guy: Oh okay. But what street are you on?!?
...yeesh
