What if the knot is around her hands?

I once made the mistake of tying it in the middle and fuck did those guys not understand the try your luck,but don't expect to get laid. Only after a friend explained to me I changed it to the side

Instructions unclear, my left or her left? Confused hit on waitress/widow/virgin.

Instructions unclear, got my Dirndl knot stuck in a toaster.

Formal protocols is all very well and good, but how many people actually do this? It's all very well and good for goofy snowboarders to sit on the left (less bumping boards) of a ski chair but nobody actually does it.
