Left is loose, right is right. And orientation flips psychologically when the nut points toward the ground.
Not going to say how I learned that the hard way...
I always hated that expression of left is loose, right is tight. Bolt is not a line, it's a spiral.
Clockwise to tighten (numbers on clock go bigger) Counterclockwise to untighten (numbers on clock go smaller)
If that scares you, wait until you find out about left-hand thread bolts. For those bolts, left is tight and right is loose.
