Who else gets slightly annoyed when people don't use the correct map-relative direction (up->north, down->south, over->east/west) when talking about large-scale geography? From Seattle I can head up to Vancouver, down to Portland, or over to Spokane. Period.

Yes. The exception is when talking about going anywhere from the town that I grew up in. From there, you go "down below" (out of the mountains), no matter where you're going.
