Situation: I am writing on the whiteboard and there is a door to my immediate right and a table behind me.
Alternative situations: I get up and walk to the whiteboard in front of me. There are many chairs in front of it that I must squeeze past. I am standing on the right side of the whiteboard and reading the words written on it in front of me.
Question: What is closer to me between the table behind me and the trashcan on my 4 o'clock direction?
