I have a terrible time distinquishing between left and right.

I come across as an idiot when some one stops me to ask directions. "Go two blocks to the stop sign, then (long pause while I flap my arms, wiggle my fingers, scrunching my face in concentration, trying to remember which is left and which is right) -then turn left - no- right-no-wait -( then, raising the correct hand) - whichever hand this is."

T'was easier when I was married, 'cuz I knew the hand with the ring was the left hand.
