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.

Also, what of "just down the street"? Especially on a one-way street? Or for values of street equal to river or other navigable body of water?
