Another Fan Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) I still have trouble distinguishing between the star and pound sign on a phone. Especially when told verbally. Clockwise vs counter clockwise throws me too using a screwdriver for tightening/loosening. Edited June 16, 2019 by Another Fan

Clockwise vs counter clockwise throws me too using a screwdriver for tightening/loosening. Screwing a hose onto a faucet always effs me up. I'm turning it left, as I look at it, to tighten. The only way it's righty-tighty is if I'm laying on the ground looking up at it.

Maybe people who struggle with that grew up in the digital age?

Looking at it straight on, you're turning it to your left to tighten. if you lay on your back and look "into" the faucet hole, THEN it's turning right.

Actually speaking of which their vs there and to vs too I still have trouble with They're is a contraction of "they" and "are." So "They're simple" should be "they are simple?"

Gray Beard Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 Loose Lose That’s probably the only one of the similarly spelled word pairs that causes me to stop and think. I sometimes get loosen versus tighten mixed up if I’m flustered or angry, or if it’s at an awkward orientation, such as reaching under a sink. I have to stop and think when using a pipe wrench. One direction it grabs, the other direction it doesn’t.

Clockwise is right, tighten Counterclockwise is left and off.

sherpa Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 Every morning I put left over coffee in the microwave. I was always irritated and confuse because when it times out it is always at the back of the microwave with the handle turned out, the most difficult way to retrieve it. What are the odds? Finally, I figured it out. I put the cup in the same way every day, and select the same time setting. Since it rotates at the same rpm, and I set the same time, it simply has to end up in the same place. Now......I select four seconds longer. I have defeated my microwave. Life is made up of consistent small wins. Now the Miami Intl airport elevator is a different problem. If has three floors. Presumably, one third of the time you select it, it should be at your floor and the door open immediately. It is never at your floor, no matter which floor you are on, and I have done this thousands of times. I have given up trying to figure it out. Miami is just a hateful place to be avoided. 1 2
