Nothing quite captures the existential crisis of a physics student like desperately contorting your fingers into pretzels trying to figure out which way the magnetic field goes. Is it thumbs up? Wait, no—curl your fingers? Or was it point with your index finger? The right-hand rule is physics' way of saying "yeah, we could've just used a diagram, but making you look ridiculous in public seemed more fun." The number of physics exams failed because someone used their left hand by mistake is probably statistically significant.
