Situation: I am standing on top of the stool while having a copier on my left.
Alternative situations: I messed up using the copier on my left so I walking towards the recycling bin in front of me to throw out the paper. I am walking towards the printer to get my printout that is on the counter in front of me.
Question: Am I closer to the printer to my 1 o'clock or the stool behind me?
