On the Seattle light rail, when you get to a station, the disembodied voice says, as it might be, "Doors to my right".

I don't have a problem with "Doors open on the right", where "relative to the direction of travel" is assumed, but for some reason the "my" always makes me wonder which way the disembodied voice is facing.

@tslumley If there was ever an excuse to use the word "starboard", this is it.
