If you were a carpenter and you told somebody to hold a hammer for you and they dropped it on your foot instead, how mad would you be? If your answer was "Not at all" you are a liar. So what is so hard about the left and right click on your mouse? It's pretty obvious from the get go which one is going to make every thing go. You either have a left or a right handed setup, most people have a right handed setup.
Your left mouse button clicks buttons, highlights text, fills in radio buttons, etc. The right mouse click brings up context menus and additional options and only ever needs to be clicked once. This seems like a pretty simple setup doesn' t it? Well there is a group of people out there that doesn't seem to grasp that the left mouse click is primary. What happens when they don't realize this? Every five seconds they ask me whether they should right or left click. Let me give you a lesson in how this works.
If I say "click there" that means click with your left mouse button unless otherwise specified. If I say "go ahead and right click" that is the otherwise specificed scenario and you should right click. That didn't seem too hard did it? No it didn't because it's really rather simple. Every time I hear some motherfucker say this I imagine them sitting on the floor as a kid, trying to put their train set together, and being confused by the simple step by step instructions.

Some people just can't tell their right from their left. Ever been driving with someone and say "turn left" and they make the fastest "RIGHT" turn you've ever experienced? I think these people should have one hand cut off so they can always remember and think as follows: He said turn right, I have no left hand. I have a right hand..... duh.... I will turn to my RIGHT! If the person still turns left they need to stop the vehicle and let you out. Then they can proceed to the nearest fuckin' cliff and drive off of it as fast as they can road runner style.
