But the phenomenon of confusing left and right is so common, that in Québec, we routinely call «gauche» «l'autre droite» ("left" is also known as "the other right"), and call «droite» «l'autre gauche» ("right" is also known as "the other left"), whenever someone picks the wrong direction after being given an instruction.
