Never Enter Stinky Washrooms
But you have to memorize if that's CW or CCW. I'd forget.
Im think it was designed with a clock in mind. That’s why it starts with north at the 12:00 position and goes clockwise. I learned it as ‘Never Eat Soggy Waffles’ but I’m sure there are a bunch of these.
It's the saying i learned as a kid. I'd picture a compass and repeat the words.
It's that way right where I'm pointing
When you're lost, walk downhill, or downstream, until you reach the sea, or a McDonalds.
If you reach an Arby's, you've gone the wrong way, crawl back into the wilderness, it's safer there.
At one point in my childhood, my dad made the comment, “Women don’t know compass directions.” I took offense to that and made a point to learn them to prove him wrong.
I felt vindicated in high school when he was coming to pick me up from a friend’s house and said, “I’m at the gas station. Do I go left or right?” I told him there were several gas stations on the way, and asked which direction he was facing to figure out which one he was by. He couldn’t tell me and finally hung up on me in a huff.
It's easy. When you imagine south as a north being on the top then west is on the east side from it.
Left.
Worst case scenario, download a compass app for your phone, but watch out for scams that will require heavy network traffic
iPhone/appleWatch may have one already, but I don’t know about android
iOS has a built in compass app.
So does Android. This phone is old and it's on the edge menu (Samsung).
I feel like while your phone has battery, there are easier ways to navigate than a compass.
No data, no map.
GPS can give your coordinates, but that’s pointless unless you walk a bit and translate the direction.
Compass uses most of its power for the screen.
Do you have a minute to talk about Openstreetmap? You can download the map before you head out, then navigate without data connection.
All roads lead to East New Westersouth.
I have problems telling right from left. At least I'm the moment, if I take my time I can tell.
But I almost always know my cardinal directions
If you extend your thumb and first finger, the L shape that is the correct way around is on your left hand.
Yeah I know when I have time to think about it.
It's just when people say: 'go left here' or me throng to indicate direction in a split second that my change of getting it right reduced to 50%. My brain doesn't grok that left right isn't absolute but related to orientation.
What helped me as a kid is imagine to write. That's my left hand and than I know which is which without thinking too consciously (in case you're right handed, it's the other way around obviously).
But interesting that you know absolute directions easily. That's a cultural thing actually. I think Australian Aborigines will say things like "my western foot hurts" because it's more intuitive for them that way.
If I think for it for s second I know, I'll think about my dominant hand too (although my dominant feet is on the opposite side so I don't have a clear dominant side).
Yeah the aboriginal method seems way more intuitive to me, yet it probably won't replace the left right system anytime soon :p
Opposite to the east.
Or just ask them which is west and they can point you towards it? Your not a compass needle lol, what is that assumption.
