You, kind sir, must not be a mechanic. (I know you're not, but I won't tell anyone-promise)
I have always had the hardest time understanding "to the right" or "to the left". Something that pivots about an axis or center doesn't actually go either right or left ... there is always an equal&opposite angular mass going the other way. The only way I can make it work for myself is to introduce a wholly arbitrary but non-negotiable restriction: the right or left is referent to the upper portion of the article being turned. It strikes me as ... prejudiced somehow, "toppist". I have memorized "right means clockwise" and now I am good to go.
Toilet paper = over the top, forward.
