re: Tommy Tucker was on the radio just now asking people to teach him how to use a zero turn

I've never driven a zero turn but imagine both handles to go forward. Both back to go back and invert them to turn.

Right is Left

Left is Right.

My dad's neighbor used to work at Lowe's. He called my dad one day and said "Come down to the store, you're buying a mower."

Apparently some guy bought a mid-sized zero turn and just couldn't get the hang of steering it. So he took it back to Lowe's and some clerk accepted the return. One of the manager's marked it down for resale as a return at a huge discount, and my dad's neighbor was nearby and saw it and put a post-it note on it as already sold.

My dad ended up with a 52" inch Cub Cadet zero turn for $1500. It had eight hours on the engine time meter. It directly convinced me to get my own baby zero turn, a 42" John Deere years later.

But the point is, some people really just don't get the steering, their brain doesn't get the "push-pull" instead of "turn left-turn right". I don't think there's any shame involved, their brain just doesn't work that way. I sorta feel the same way about Texas A&M fans, but each to their own.
