@sarahbecan I find it much more fascinating that these phrases actually help people because it's not how I think.

If I look down on bottle with a screw cap, my index turns right but my thumb turns left.
But if I change the sieve thing on a faucet my thumb turns right and my index turns left unless I lay down below the faucet. There is no left and right :(
Clockwise makes sense, but not left or right.
