OK, here's one where I'm the dumb one:

I'm at a hotel in Colorado. It's my first time anywhere near that part of the USA.

Me: I need to get to Widgets College. What's the best way?
Hotel Clerk: From the parking lot, go east. Five minutes later, you'll come to a huge intersection. Go south. Exit 15 to the college.
Me: Uh...south? East? What, you got a compass for me? (To him, I probably sound like someone on Seinfeld.)
Hotel Clerk: Sir, see those white things out there? (He's pointing out the large window.)
Me: Yeah. Mountains.
Hotel Clerk: The Rockies, yes. What direction is that from Colorado?
Me: West. Every idiot knows that. But...uh...ahh, I get it.
