Default Spotting Right Hand Drive

This question may sound funny and it kind of is, but I'm curious. Has anyone here ever spotted a right hand drive Jeep, and if so....while spotting, do you still say "passenger/driver" only in reverse, or do you end up just pointing because of the confusion? I think it brings new meaning to the saying "NO, your OTHER Driver!"

My mail man has a '09 JKU factory RHD, not one of them conversion kits with 2 steering wheels. I live in the country where the snow can drift over the mail box.

Default I have a RHD

I have a RHD and it is confusing to everyone who comes in contact with the Jeep in any capacity. Most passengers try to get in on the wrong side. People who work at the drive thru windows really freak out. People in the ATM line must think I'm invisible because they skip me. It's really best to use hand signals to "SPOT" I'm former military so I say "ground guide" and I've taught a few buddies to use those signals.

I've seen a few around my area. I think they are all left over postal Jeeps. I always wave and think they don't wave back but then realize its a right drive Jeep.
