Silliness Left or Right

Katti's Cat · 01-22-2011, 05:36 AM

If you are about to step in mud (stinking & toxic) that's going to be knee high - which foot should you put forward first?

Is there a right left foot or is that the wrong one?

Or if you decide on left and then use the right one - is that still right? Do two lefts make a right? (and does the hobble in between count?)

I can't remember which one I stepped into the soup first but it was the wrong one

I ended up on my knees in the mud and was filthy before i started. So which one do you recommend?

I'm a dedicated left-handler, and I still mix 'right' and ' left' up. That was especially a problem for me when I had driving lessons.

The 'good' hand or foot is my left one. I would be a very bad adviser in an emergency-situations; so, my advice is (as with a lot of other things unfortunately): don't think twice.....jump right in....feet first.

I would have my wife give me a piggyback ride.

Left foot forward.

I kept having this dilemma last week when I was trying to step out on ice! I thought I would have a better chance of gaining, or maintaining, my balance if I stepped first with (choose one) (1) my weaker leg/bad knee, or (2) my stronger leg. Turned out it didn't matter -- I STILL couldn't do it!

jump in with both feet!
If that's not an option - left first.

No question about it at all.

I would just signal the car to pick me up and then just drive around it.

Good choice...

Close my eyes and let my sub-conscious chose .... or better still get a plank to cover it over with.

I had to put stickers on the dashboard with Left and Right written on them when I was teaching my daughter to drive.

Left foot first so I've still got my weight on my right, which I can then use to leap out of the puddle should something untoward happen to my left foot

After all these years I keep mixing right and left. I just get all cross-eyed figuring it out.
