I often do it even though I usually already know before doing it. It just feels like a habit/sanity check.

The more important one to remember is “lefty loosey, righty tighty”.

My wife still does. It’s adorable and reminds me she’s fallible.

I remember I heard about the L thing, but then immediately looked at my little hands and thought ‘…But which way does the ⅃ go? That tells me nothing.’ Then I spun them around like finger guns akimbo and it made it worse. I think I was ~4.

When I was a kindergartener, the way we sat to face the teacher meant that the room’s wall clock was on the right side. The teacher used the clock to teach us which way was right.
Decades later, I still see a little clock in my head, but I never confuse left and right.

It’s really cool when I see other people do it (like SheafificationOfG), but my left-right mnemonic is imagining myself sitting in the back of my parents car, where i sit on the left side.

No what am I a moron, I make a little writing gesture with my right hand because I know I’m right handed and write with my right hand.

Used to have to do it all the time up until a few years ago, now it doesn’t take me as long to figure out left and right.
I’ve never had any issues with dyslexia so, idk why I have issues discerning left and right.

I try to and then I realize I don’t know which direction the L is supposed to face and now I have two problems.

I’d say that I’d think I’d know if I had dyslexia, but I had a friend in college who didn’t find out until after he was in college. It’s hard to understand how that’s possible. He just said his school sucked and they thought he was just dumb when he had trouble reading. Somehow got into a top school though, so I guess he found a way to work around it or something.
That said, I don’t think I’ve really had a problem with reading. My best class was history and most of that was reading tons and tons of textbooks.

Never did, never had s problem telling which is which. It’s just spatial awareness to me.
We did a lot of orienteering at school, and for sports. Maybe that helped.
