I get east and west mixed up 100% of the time. It's not intermittent - if I don't pause for a split second to make sure, I'll get them exactly backward, every time.

Once it pissed me off and I resolved to keep east and west straight instinctively, dammit. I did; and then I started to mix up drive and reverse in my car. Fine, fuck it, east/west confusion isn't particularly dangerous, I'll just go back to that. 😡😄

tl;dr: I get you.
