No not your east, my east

So. At work today a lady called asking for directions to the new store, Lynette answered on speaker phone, here's how the conversation went down

Lynette: Yes were on the east side of the street from the mall

(Not a true statement, were on the west side of the street)

Lady: okay, so on the east side of the street by the mall, see you soon

ME to Lynette: So honey you realize we're on the east side of the mall but on the west of state street, right?

Lynette: (silent pause) ... Well... No, it would depend on which direction she was coming from, if she were coming from the north it would be...

Me and the girls interrupting with laughter: ...No honey east is always east, its one of those universal things...

Lynette is actually incredibly smart and put together, which makes it so funny, so funny in fact I nearly passed out from laughter


She called back 20 minutes later totally lost, which is partly her own fault, because if your at our intersection and cant find a huge sign saying ETHAN ALLEN whether it be east or west of you by 50 feet, you need to not be driving is my guess, and surely will not be able to pick a fabric out of thousands for your sofa.
