I got this information from an Instagram reel but ig refreshed and I lost the link before I could save it, so I googled the phenomenon and got an article that talks about it instead. The reel said that it happens in a lot of small things we don’t think about like bumper cars, ice skating, most motorsports, mosh pits, etc.
The counterclockwise favoring has even been found in some animals too!
Studies show that when people walk into a store, they automatically move to the right (counterclockwise). That’s why stores put their sale and more profitable items to the right side.
My grocery store, has the sale items and the pharmacy, then the the deli, then the produce section, all to the right when you first walk in.
