I would personally just treat whatever direction I'm facing at the time as North and go from there.

If it's before noon: Go away from the sun.
If it's after noon: Go toward the sun.
If it's night... Wait for morning, and go away from the sun.
Instructions unclear, I'm at the north pole
If you're at the pole, just walk due south.
The moon would like a word
There's no idiom for which way the moon rises and sets 🤷🏻♂️.
Well it tends to rise and set in the same direction as the sun because the earth spinning is what causes them to rise and set.
*Advice not applicable if you are north or south of a given latitude.
stuck somewhere where the sun doesn't set for like a month
Do... Do I wait?
Haha, yes there's that extreme. However that effect is a gradient. You start to notice it north of the 60th parallel (Canada where the bulk of the population lives) but it's only slight. In winter the sun is just slightly south of the middle of the sky.
Here in Campbell River BC we are at the 50th parallel, and on Saturday at Noon (we are out of DST now so we are talking true noon) the sun was to the direct south, 45 degrees to the horizon. It rises and sets... but to the SE, S and SW.
If it's night and you can see both the Southern Cross and the Pointers it's pretty trivial to determine south; if you're in the northern hemisphere you get it even easier with Polaris to mark north.
My initial thought when reading your comment was a response about differentiation of both hemispheres, but the way you wrote it was actually quite clever, so kudos for that! :D
