dear internet,

for as long as i have been brushing my teeth without adult supervisions (i.e., since my second year at university), i have done so in a very particular motion, beginning at the bottom left and moving across, eventually to come full-circle.

will my life change dramatically if i do the opposite someday? please tell me soon, before i brush my teeth next.

    doktor kafka,
    i am concerned by the fact that you have requested a response prior to you next brushing your teeth yet have elected for comments to close in four weeks. if you only brush your teeth every 4 weeks, that is a greater problem than the method in which you brush them.
    ;-)

    I would mix it up, because what if you're running out of toothpaste or not being as scrupulous by the time you get to the upper left quadrant? (I'm assuming here for some reason that you go counter-clockwise.)
