Situation: I am picking up a pillow from the couch while there are no other pillows on my left and there is an end table on my left side.
Alternative situations: I put down my cold drink on the table in front of me, left of the couch as I pick up the one pillow on the couch in front of me. I am removing the pillow in front of me on the left side of the couch.
Question: Which direction should I go if I want to use another table?
