This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I wrote L and R on my hands for the driving test

the advice I got before driving was: your left hand is the one where the thumb is pointing to your right hand

and I still think about it

If you lay your hands flat with each thumb pointed at the other hand, your left hand will form an "L" shape. That's probably what they meant to say.

Edit: oh looooooool, I literally just didn't get the joke

This actually makes sense. I always assumed people know which one their dominant writing hand is and go from there. That's what i always did until i just knew. Like when someone asked me, i made a fist or something with the hand i was writing with

That's a sensible way to do it. You've got a built in asymmetry to map it to.
