Situation: I am sitting on some steps and facing away from the door.
Alternative situations: I walked up the stairs and in front of me was the trash can. After tossing the cardboard boxes in the trash can in my 7 o'clock direction, I going to empty the trash can in front of me, noticing a backpack in my 10 o'clock direction.
Question: Which direction should I go if I want to exit the room?
