cordlesslamp,

When someone says “turn around”, you turn 180° to the opposite direction of what you’re currently facing, not 360°.

unreasonabro,

Because to completely turn around is to wind up going the other way, you fucking fuck.

Cybermonk_Taiji,

My life did a 540° and I’m coming in hot!

Schal330,

It’s not the destination but the journey. In that 360 turn you may have looked inwards and at your past, identified failings of the past or remember things you forgot about that you loved. When you reach that 360 point you’re more aware of what has been and may have a different outlook on what could be. Or something like that…

“180, you Sicilian schmuck! If I did a 360 I would turn all the way around and be right back where I started!”

If you turn completely around are you going to same direction you were when you started?

I think it’s valid that it’s “completely turned my life around” and “I pulled a 180 and changed my life.”

Spaghetti_Hitchens,

Turning my life around 360 would mean my alcoholism is out of control again.

TheRealKuni,

Do you know why they call it the Xbox 360?

Cause when you see it you turn 360° degrees and walk away! GOTTEM.

"completely turned around" could be charitably interpreted as "swiftly and accurately corrected course". 360, not so much.

possiblylinux127,

Make a 270

erie09,

Two wrongs don’t make a right but three rights make a left.

ramble81,

I view “completely turned it around” as as 180 too. Think about it “I’ll turn this car around if you don’t quiet down” it means you’ll go the opposite direction. So “completely turning it around” means they did just that.

C126,

360 deg is exactly the same as 0 deg. .

postmateDumbass,

Its more of a spiral, downward typically.

whynotzoidberg,

Came here to say this. If you do a 360, you turned around twice.

ParabolicMotion,

Since my husband vanished and apparently left his ID to his friends, I guess I should just tell everyone that my life flipped a d_ck. I could say it made a u-turn, but it sounds too much like the slogan on the sign of a local church. It was down the street from the church we used to attend together. Maybe their “God allows u-turns” sign was just their congregation’s way of telling me to flip a d_ck before it was too late.

When you go through the divorce process sometimes you flip a house, sometimes you flip a car, …and sometimes, well, you know…

NoIWontPickAName,

Why are you flipping ducks?

ParabolicMotion,

Well, apparently the word never meant anything bad when it was originally put to that phrase, but now I have to edit it out because it means something else these days.

Trust me, I would have rather been in the business of flipping ducks, as some kind of duck farmer, than feeling like Book of Job and losing everything after my husband flipped his life and everything he owned to his friends.
