The World Has Gone Nuts

The world has, apparently, gone insane.  Nobody understands my hatred of the expression "lefty loosy, righty tighty".  Whenever I try to explain my hatred for this saying, the other person looks at me as if I have no reason to get "worked up" over a saying.  I just think, "What the hell.  I made such a convincing argument."  If one puts the center-point in the front of the jar/bottle/nozzle, then the expression righty loosy, lefty tighty would emerge.  That saying doesn't rhyme, therefore it would make no sense to say that.
