EASY WAY TO REMEMBER HOW TO USE YOUR SCREWDRIVER
[a screwdriver is unscrewing a screw by turning counter-clockwise]
The LEFT liberates the screw from its oppression
[a screwdriver is screwing a screw by turning clockwise]
The RIGHT tightens the screw’s place in the social order imposed to it
I’m rarely tasked with screwing a screw into my eye, so it typically points away from me. And then it’s just associating clockwise rotation with ‘right’.
Pretty common for me to screw the back of something facing me and I have to reach around and use the screwdriver on the back of the desk or something. Idk left or right just doesn’t enter my mind at all when I use a screwdriver but people call me autistic so i guess im the weird one.
