Survival

I bought some fresh vegetables; when I got home, I found that the girl who bagged them had turned the twist-tie the wrong direction, which prompts me to wonder:
How is it, in this day and age, that a person can survive to adulthood — and I mean literally survive, as in not die — without knowing “lefty loosy, righty tighty”?
Surely there must be something in the human experience that assures elimination from the gene pool for the lack of such basic knowledge as which way to turn something to open or tighten it?
What inspires that post?
I bought some fresh corn, and the girl who bagged it used a twist-tie incorrectly.
So which is the correct way – maybe she was left handed? Or just having a baaaaad day!
I did a detail for an engineer years ago and he informed me that the threads were wrong. “Lefty loosy, righty tighty” he said (actually it is righty tighty, lefty loosy). I informed him that women were never taught this. He said that boys were taught this by their fathers in the garage and that he should have never repeated this to a female! Too bad, I am on to you all now and share it with ALL my female friends!
