And not in New York either, even though people drive on the right
(also applies to many places in Europe, I think)

I do plan out my trips, including short walks to the water fountain.
But I probably don't calculate in detail: I tend to take the nearest
turn each way, so in a situation like this

--------W--
|         |
|         |
|         |
--O--------

to go from office (O) to water (W) and back, I do a clockwise circuit
rather than judge which route is shorter and retrace the same route
back
