I have a major problem with Windows dialog boxes. Everything in my life

Even though I virtually never use those two OSes, non-computer things in
life have ingrained it into my head that yes is on the right and no is
on the left. Almost 50% of the time I subconsciously click the wrong
button in a Windows dialog box because I expect OK to be on the right.
"Do you want to save this?" "Yes, oh no, I pressed cancel!"

There must be some utility I can use to swap these buttons over?

I never noticed this problem until someone else mentioned it. I would
click on the appropriate box like "OK" not just some location within the
window.

Do you glance down at your car pedals each time to the labels you wrote on
them saying "brake" and "gas"?

Hard to do when still checking that turning the steering wheel clockwise will
lead to me turning right... it is randomly decided each time I start the car.


That reminds me of when I was reversing my car out of a very tight spot in a small local garage. Other people had placed their cars in the way of the exit. A mechanic said one of those things that gets on my nerves: "left hand down". WTF does that mean? Especially when I'm looking over my shoulder with only my right hand on the wheel! Just say "left" or "right". The car will go the same way no matter which way it's facing! A clockwise turn on the wheel makes it go right, in either gear!!
