direction of stir

I stir everything clockwise -- coffee, tea, batter, soup, whatever. When I was a little kid, my great-grandmother taught me that it was bad luck to stir counterclockwise. I got in to the habit of stirring clockwise, and now I keep it as a way of remembering her.

I look over my right shoulder, and I'm right handed.

Depends on which hand I'm using to stir. Right hand goes clockwise, left hand goes counter. I tend to stir or mix things with my right hand despite being left handed.

I look over my right shoulder. It feels like a tactical response when surprised by something behind me. Looking over my right shoulder turns my left arm out of the way of whatever harm could be approaching. Not that that makes any sense, because I shoot righty and can throw a stronger punch with my right hand. My right hand and arm is faster though... Over think much?
