To the left, to the left!

^^^ Yeah! Awesome .

Lefties, unite! (or un-tie, I sometimes forget which )

Rightie here; Am completely normal in every way.

Quick story with (some) relevance to left/right relationships, conventions, as well as genetic programming, bear with me.....

Several years ago, I and best friend/co-worker were sent away on a business trip. Both of us born and raised in a part of the country where all traffic signals are configured in the only logical manner there is; Top to bottom...... Red, Yellow, Green.

Simple.

We arrived (somewhere) in the mid-west, where all the traffic signals are......Left to right; Red, Yellow, Green.

Odd, but no big deal.
We climb into the rental car, leave the airport.....And within a few blocks, he pulled the car over and (quite shaken) said:
"This is freaking me out, I can't deal with this. Yer' gonna' have to drive for the rest of this trip.........I never shared this with you, but.........I'm completely Red/Green color blind."

I'm still left handed
Although using a mouse with my right hand.

How common are left handed mouses (mice? ---that doesn't sound right when referring to a computer mouse )

You won't like driving in China then. We've got lights that are top-to-bottom, side-by-side, and single ones as well, where there's only one aspect that changes colour, red, yellow, green. And find a mix of all three types in any city and province. I think it's down to the particular companies that made them as to what type they are.

In the UK, they're only top-to-bottom, red, yellow, green.

I only do two things naturally right handed, use a mouse, and firearms.

Kid and I are both right handed except when ice skating. She'd take power classes and would go with the lefties.

I took group lessons and had one coach (who I knew well) say, "Now I know why the kid is backwards, the mother is)
We adjusted.
No offense at this coach as my kid (10 at the time)walked up to her and asked the coach to take her to see the Chippendales. One shocked coach.
Chippendales had appeared on Donohue, old am talk show.

Close bit no cigar. [emoji14] That is regular top-to-bottom, red, yellow, green. But each side is for a different traffic lane. Sometimes the green light is an arrow to indicate left turn or right turn only

I was talking about something more like this, which is definitely side-by-side aspects. Although the convention is red on the left, green on the right, and green is an arrow. Often there's a countdown, seconds until the lights change.

But there's no consistency for type in a city or province.
