It seems most of the twist ties I find on bread are installed with a counter clock wise twist and that seems backwards to me
Righty tighty
Lefty loosey
This seems much more intuitive to me.
Why, why, why? 
This is not something I’ve noticed.
My experience is that they are simultaneously wound both directions, so that any attempt to remove them goes through three cycles of first winding them tighter.
I haven’t noticed what the OP is on about, but it pisses me off when a product twists the ties in both directions. If one piece is held on with a left-hand twist, then every piece should be held on the same way!
silenus, what products do you see with multiple ties on different portions?
The bread bags and the like that I encounter seem to be about 50-50, but I always make sure to twist it the correct way when I put it back on.
Yes! That’s exactly what happens to me. I thought I was going crazy.
While we’re at it, I hate those plastic things that tear the bag and then they break before the bread is finished.
Maybe the person who put the tie on was left-handed?
I fully support this cranky assertion. Makes me crazy.
Maybe your shipment was meant for the southern hemisphere?
Most recently in unpacking a set of tomato cages. 3 posts, with 9 clip-on crossbars. The whole thing was held together with twist ties, and every set had a random twist. Must have been 7 or so ties total.
It depends upon whether it was wrap tied in the Northern or Southern hemisphere.
It’s probably not done by a person, but by machine.
WAG: maybe the moving parts are screwed on the normal righty-tighty way, and if the machine tied clockwise, it would begin to loosen the connections over time? Like how the pedals on a bicycle have opposite threads so that one doesn’t fall off. That doesn’t explain why it’s not reverse threaded, of course.
Or why some are twisted in one direction, and some in another if my theory above doesn’t pan out.
I just explain it as I do most of my problems-G-d hates me, and I don’t know what the hell I ever did to her.
I loathe those plastic clips on bread bags, and twist ties just aggravate me. When you are done with the bread, grab the bag by the opening, slap the bread to spin it around and tuck the nicely coiled opening end underneath the loaf. Saves time!
Maybe one side of the assembly line is clockwise and the other counterclockwise to cancel out the directional vibrations, or else the whole plant would spin off its foundations?
What ties do you have on bread bags? Over here they have a strip of self-adhesive tape that you can kind of reseal a couple of times. They used to use flat rectangular clips like this.
The US has both of those too, but the specific type are these: a short piece of wire with paper or plastic covering it. As mentioned, the sometimes come with plastic garbage bags (usually the smaller ones), though I usually end up tying those.
I hate the fact that my favorite crackers no longer come with anything to secure the 4 “baglets” inside the box after you open them.
I’m waiting with baited breath for you to come back with what YOU assume is the CORRECT way.
I, being a left-handed superior person, may have a different measure of what’s correct.
