Hot on the left is not right for right handed frugalists.. [View all]

Lately I've been noticing the way I use water when I turn on the tap, I'm right handed and most of the time I grab the item I want to run water over with my right hand and then reach for the tap to turn the water on with my left hand.

The problem is that my left hand automatically goes for the left tap on my two knob sink and turns on the hot water even when I don't really need hot water, it's actually difficult for me to keep from automatically doing this if I'm at all distracted (pretty common for me to be lost in thought while I'm doing household chores).

Anyone else notice themselves unnecessarily using hot water just because their left hand is the one that's free to turn the tap?
