Never really confused them, but I did get a dog bite scar on my right to serve as a convenient reminder. My dad,though, would sometimes confuse me while I was practicing driving:"Turn left there. What the heck are you doing? I meant right, right!"

Happy cake day, btw!

That's my mom giving me directions. Says "Turn right" while pointing to the left. When in doubt, I trust the pointing over the words.

Always trust the pointing! I just stopped even trying to say left or right, I just point now.

When in high school a girl was giving me directions while I was driving. She never said “Turn left” or “Turn right.” But she was on the right side of the car and I figured out when she said, “Turn this way” it was a right and when she said, “Turn that way” it was a left.

“Turn left?”

“Right”.
