I made the same mistake on a college physics final!  Writing with my right hand
and blissfully determining force with the old "left hand" rule.  The fact that
I was using the wrong hand never entered my mind.  I ended up with a C in the
course after going into the final with a solid A.   It was a hard lesson.
