I've been married over 40 years and today my wife just noticed I stirred my drink counterclockwise. I am right handed. She says clockwise is the proper way. What do you say?
Do you stir your drinks clockwise or counterclockwise?

I'm also right-handed and stir my drinks CCW. CW doesn't feel natural. This is like one of those genetic tests: when you clasp your hands which thumb is on top, can you roll your tongue,etc.
Northern Hemisphere-clockwise...
Southern Hemisphere-counterclockwise
Southern Hemisphere-counterclockwise

You are more efficient, given the Earth's rotation.

OK currently at a Chinese restaurant in northwest Houston and got some iced tea, which needed a little sugar added. Found myself stirring both clockwise a few times, then counterclockwise a few times. So I second the coolestfish on this one. We know we must be accurate on matters of such importance on the all knowing Board.
EDIT: should have added that I'm right handed, which is something like 89% of the population from what I recall.
Then there was the Florida State football player who stirred with both his right hand and left hand. He was amphibious.
You beat me to it. This was going to be my response!
People who stir clockwise and counterclockwise are not only natural agitators....they apparently like to go "both ways".
It shouldn't surprise any of us that the coolestfish likes to rotate to the other side. How else does one explain the week long cruise with Fabian

Counterclockwise when needed, but I have perfected the mix/pour method. Bottle of vodka in one hand, bottle of Fresca in the other hand. Simultaneously pour each liquid into a heaping glass of ice. You can adjust your vodka flow based on the type of day you had or the night you want.

Prefer shaken but I will stir clockwise several times then give a quick reversal of 2 swirls to make sure we have a good mix
I tend to use the chopping action, with the straw and the ice. Less waste over the top of glass. (Maybe my stirring before I adopted this method was simply too enthusiastic.)
Stangely enough, when someone is directly on the equator they stir strictly with a side to side motion. Weird.

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to take the softball that I tee'd up.
Why is this even a question for you?
Your wife said clockwise was correct. The end.
Well perhaps a more "important" questions is whether you tie your left or right shoe first.
You wear shoes? You're one of them there rich fellers ain't ya?
I think he cheats by using those Velcro flaps instead of shoestrings!
Whiskey/Bourbon straight (usually at a poker game). Don't stir my beer. I do, however, stir the Hershey's syrup first clockwise, then counter clockwise rhythmically in a tall glass of milk to ensure a well balanced, refreshing glass of chocolate milk now and then.
Some put a straw in the glass and wait for the world to revolve around them.

High heels don't have laces.
