First of all, don't be embarrassed. There are plenty of well-educated, successful adults who still get their left mixed up with their right. Here's a simple mnemonic to help you remember:
Put your hands in front of you with your thumbs pointing at each other. Your left hand will make an L shape. L for left. See? Easy peasy!
And speaking of left from right, I once took a wrong turn picking up a fare at LaGuardia, and let me tell you, that woman was actually *mad* I was only 3 minutes late. Some people, right?
Stay safe, kids!
