I know how you feel...
Today an old Asian-looking woman approached me and said "excuse me" and handed me a piece of paper. On the paper it said "I want to go to Quincy Center station". I pointed to the side where she needed to be and said "Just go one more station." She gave me a cockeyed look, and I realized she really had no idea what I just said. "Here," I said pointing, "One". "One? Ok." she said to me and went to the platform to wait.
