I had a now-hilarious, but at the time-frustrating experience that I need to share with you. So, I joined a new gym, and my membership is for access to all the clubs. I headed to the gym near my work for the first time this afternoon, but couldn't find the building at the intersection where the website had given as a location. So I called the gym. The girl who picked up the phone had informed me that the gym is not actually at the intersection, and that if I had reached the intersection, I had gone too far. I ask her, "Oh, okay - is the gym east or west of Roxbury?" to which she replies, "Well...that depends on which way you're come from." <pause>. Clearly, she doesn't quite understand, so I try to spell it out for her. "Okay, I mean, if I were at Roxbury, would I need to go towards the ocean or towards downtown LA?" She sounds completely confused, so she abandons this method of directions and tells me that the gym is just across the street from this apartment complex. Knowing I'm taking a risk, I ask, "Okay, then is the gym on the north or south side of the street." Obviously annoyed with me, she says - but this time sporting a serious attitude, "AGAIN...that would depend on which way you're coming from!" My blood having risen from a low simmer to panicked boil, I opted to educate my ignorant friend - driven to do so by her newfound display of obxious. "ACTUALLY, left and right would change depending on your direction, but North, South, East, and West will always remain the same. So, if it's on the NORTH side of the street, it's towards the hills no matter which way you're driving. So, which side of the street is it on???!!!" She had to go ask for help - not because she was concerned or confused, but because she was annoyed with me and was sure that she was speaking to an idiot. I could have died. The best part? She got back on the phone, and this was her concluding response, "If you come down the street and see the apartment complex, it'll be on the left side of the street."
