So, I need a poll here.

In a "like I have time to dick around with radio button, just comment you lazy expletive."

You're hopelessly lost in DC. I'm on the phone trying to help you get to where you're going. Which is, namely, to the restaurant where I'm sitting wondering where the hell you are.

And you're making me break my rule of no cell phones in a restaurant. But if I don't talk to you on my cell phone, there's no bloody point to me sitting in said restaurant because this is so not in MY budget for the month.

And I'm trying to get you to the section of DC where I am. And frankly, you're a flake and your GPS is on ultra-loud, and clearly confused, but you refuse to turn it off, because having two things tell you directions at the same time seems helpful to you. Despite the fact that no matter which direction you go in, the GPS tells you to make the first legal U-turn.

So I tell you "Just get to a numbered street. All of the cross streets will be the alphabet. If you're going down the alphabet, you're going in the wrong direction. If you're going up the alphabet, you're going in the right direction. Call me back when you are going in the right direction."

If you started at P Street, what's the next street, if I've told you to go UP the alphabet.

(Some of you will find this direction clear, some ambiguous. I'm not looking for a freaking debate here -- just pick which one your gut says, without over thinking it. After all, you're 45 minutes late and talking on your cell phone in DC -- think FAST.)

I'm glad I am not the only one mouthing the alphabet song on occasion. ::giggles::
