Situation: I am facing a table, while there is a trash can behind me and a cabinet on my right.
Alternative situations: I am reading a newspaper while I wait for my eggs to boil on the stove behind me. I just found some canned peas for a salad in a cabinet on my right and am opening the can now, while there is a thrashing can behind me.
Question: Which one is closer to me, the refrigerator or the telephone?
