Which way do you stir?

[sg1008]

Please, when you take the poll, if you could indicate your answer as well as which hemisphere you live in, it would be interesting to see. EDIT: Also add if left handed or right handed, or ambidextrous. (thanks Jack)

I stir mostly clockwise, and I live in the northern hemisphere.

 

[Jack]

Clockwise. Northern hemisphere.

First thought was left/right handed might make more of a difference.

Right handed. Counter clockwise. Southern hemisphere.

Scientific evidence of the coreolis effect right there. Checkmate flat-Earthers.

Wow, this is very interesting!

I am right handed.

[Minister Of Silly Walks]

Stirring clockwise feels awkward to me. Unless I'm stirring left handed, in which case it feels natural.

If my cup is on a flat surface then I would tend to stir my cup counter-clockwise with a teaspoon held in my right hand.

If I am holding my cup then I would tend to hold the cup with my right hand and stir clockwise with my left hand.

[Al Swearegen]

I am right handed and from Australia and stir most counter clockwise.

[Pyraxis]

Mostly clockwise but I switch it up when I'm baking to help things get mixed better.

Northern hemisphere, right handed.

[Tequila]

Clockwise, northern hemisphere.

northern hemi
right handed
get left and right mixed up (and by extension clockwise and counterclockwise) never noticed!
 so went and stirred a pot of something that was handily sitting on the hob, to find out.

i naturallv webt for counter-clockwiswe to start with. then i switched to clockwise, to ring the changes,  then back to counterclockwise.

    are you studying coriolis effect on the human brain?

[odeon]

I don't. Northern.

Yup. Was curious to see if perhaps it had an effect on the psyche.

I realise this might not be feasible- but if everyone who replied here could also query their friends and/or family, then we might really get somewhere. 

Lol, what if we make a ground breaking discovery!?

LOL, well GL with that!

you do realise that a ground-breaking discovery on I^2 wouldn't break the surface tension in your average toilet bowl? 

 i mean we'd be too busy throwing out dumb repartee to even notice, wouldn't we?

[Walkie]

I don't. Northern.

you don't what? stir?

[Gopher Gary]

I don't really stir either. I just sort of dig in one spot and spin the container while I'm doing it.  I spin the bowl counter clockwise if that makes any difference.
