The bane of my traveling existence, pull over to ask where “x” is of a roadside stranger and wind up with a head full of a description of every house, service station, hedge-row, tree genus and deli for the next four miles ! “You can’t miss it !”
The impatient lady didn’t ask for directions. Ruthie is answering her question directly, and at length (albeit perhaps more literally than the impatient lady would like).
No, no. While I concede that Ruthie would likely get on my nerves eventually, I’m pretty sure that I would find her delightful the first five to ten minutes of conversation.

Well, she only asked if Ruthie knew where it was not how to get there.

Lady, Ruthie is going to tell you just give her time. Ruthie tells the she wants to.

That angry, impatient woman does not deserve to be helped.
