of giving directions

Overheard at a coffeeshop. 2 persons (Ah Su and Ah Ku) giving directions to another person (Ah Blur) over the mobile phone.

Ah Su: How to get from ABC Road to XYZ Road?
Ah Ku: You come down from ABC Road, XYZ Road is on the left.

Ah Ku calls Ah Blur on his mobile phone.
"You come down from ABC Road, XYZ Road is on your left. Where are you now? You see it or not?"

From what I know, ABC Road to XYZ Road is about 2-3km. Along ABC Road, there's a Y-junction and plenty of roads to turn into smaller roads.

I wasn't surprised to hear Ah Ku giving directions to Ah Blur for about 15-20 minutes. Ah Su frequently interrupting Ah Ku saying "XYZ Road on the leftside".

Some people oversimplify things. Not sure where Ah Blur ended up.
