No Left Turn and No Right Turn

What do you call someone who can't differentiate between left and right? Leave a comment if you do. Heck, leave a comment if you don't! LOL.

Why do I ask? It's because one of my juniors at work has such a condition. On the phone the other day:

Colleague: Wei, how do I get to the office?

Moi: From Puchong direction, turn right at the junction. At the hospital, turn left. Go up the the hill then turn right before the tall building. The office is just down the road. On your left.

Colleague: Errr... What left? What right?

Moi: Shit, I forgot. Turn driver side at the juction, then turn passenger side.......

Colleague: Ooooooooooooooo...


She managed to find her way. :)

Seriously, I don't recall any special terms for it. Boy, you're good at giving directions.

Yup. I have noticed that in people too. I too have some difficulty at times, eg I want to go right, but say left.

Once a hilarious situation ensued. Was with a group of people and I said lets go right, when I actually meant let's go left.

And so we all went, and everybody went right and I'm the only one going left. Then I realised what I said and what was in my mind are two different things.

@Orange:
Thanks for your research! But I don't think it's Williams Syndrome! Too serious.

@Jino:
