A Bed Pole (1 Viewer)

[Mrs. Rannous]

Hmmm... standing at home plate is also the beginning, and the beginning of the bed is the head (if, by your logic, the foot of the bed is the end). Option 2 is still correct.

bad logic here. You walk into the bedroom, and 99 times out of 100, you'll be at the end of the bed first. That's the beginning, or home plate as eloquently stated before.

Bad logic is not following the design of the equipment. Where your head is at determines what is left and right.
By this logic the first place i usually see my car is at the bonnet, so left would be, in your case, the passenger side.
But logically using the vehicle, in your case, you drive on the left side.
What is the left side of the car?

I'm trying to imagine my car with a bonnet. So cute.

(Yes, I speak British English.)

I have a secret to tell
from my electrical well
not to put too fine a point on it
say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
make a little birdhouse in your soul

But seriously Option 2 is the answer. You spend 99% of your time laying in the bed, not standing at the foot looking at it. Thus the left side is the side that is in your left side while laying on your back.

Agreed

How is the left and right side of a vehicle determined? From the sitting behind the steering wheel POV.

Driver and passenger sides of course. Does anyone say left or right?


How is left and right field determined in baseball? Standing at home and looking out over the field.
Hockey, Soccer, Football? Standing at the end looking up the field,
Same works for the bed, standing at the end looking at it.

Hockey, soccer, football change depending on which direction your team is oriented, no matter where you are on the field.
I honestly think my mind works that way.

"Which side of the bed do you want?" -- "I'll take the left"

then...

"Which side of the bed are you now lying on?" -- "The right, obviously."

As an architect specializing in residential interiors I can tell you the definitive answer.









It's whatever your wife says.

What is the left side of the car?

same as with the bed. stand at the back of the car and driver (US) side is on the left. Same with the bed.

I just realized that I sleep with my head pointing west. Is this supposed to be a good thing?

My head also points west. Good feng shui

My head points north...fml

I lay South, toward the ocean

Okay, quick hijack...a couple of our friends, change the sides they sleep on every couple of months. Is this normal?

If we rearrange the bedroom, we may switch sides. Wife gets up way earlier than me, so she get not the left or right side, she gets the bedroom door side

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

can't wait to have this argument tonight

So how'd it go?

we agreed on option 1

 

[Kanil]

I chose option 2 because it felt the most right but could go either way. The way I always talk about the bed is in relation to something else in there. e.g. Door side, mirror side, bondage strap side, etc...

Time to find new friends.

I missed this post originally. You're friends with serial killers. Call the FBI immediately.

what side is it if you lay on your stomach to sleep?

Stomach sleepers are monsters

Have some buddies that were really good college wrestlers. Their dad was also a college wrestler. When they were babies, the dad would not let them ever sleep on their back because he didn't want them to ever get comfortable with their backs down on the ground.

It worked, I guess, as they both became great college wrestlers, but they still can't sleep on their backs.

Wrestlers are some strange dudes. Tough and disciplined, but very strange.
