True story. Waiting for a taxi, the phone rings:
Taxi driver: I am here sir outside your house.
Me: No you're not.
Taxi: Yes I am
Me: No, I am outside my house and there is no taxi here.
Taxi driver: I am here outside your house.
Me: No you're not. You can't be. I am outside my house. You are not here. I would be able to see you. Please tell me your location.
Taxi: You are outside your house? But I am outside your house now.
ME: What street are you in?
Taxi: Street 12, Villa 3
Me: I am in Street 8, Villa 3.
Taxi: In Springs 8?
Me: No, Springs 12.
Taxi: So Springs 12, Street 12, Villa 3.
Me: No. Springs 12, Street 8, Villa 3.
Taxi: I am there.
Me: No you're not. (Just then another taxi comes past, light on so I flag it down).
Me: Forget it.
