Does each language have "lefty loosey righty tighty"?
The world has a lot of different standards for a lot of things, but I have never heard of a place with the default screw thread direction being opposite.
In austrian german dialect, "Mit da Ua, draht ma zua." which in standard german would be "Mit der Uhr, dreht man zu." and in english "With the clock, turn it closed." or something like that.
