It gets confusing to remember which tap is which, though. I washed dishes at a restaurant for 4 summers in high school. After the second summer, they switched the hot and cold on one of the sinks. Every night after, I would burn myself at least once (this place had 160 degree Fahrenheit hot water). I could not rewire myself completely for hot on the right, but I'd never realized how ingrained the pattern of "hot-left cold-right" was.
