No, but most of us deal with the left pedal while standing on the right side of the bike because of the bike stand, and then we thread it in looking at it "backwards".
My usual adjuster advice is "turn the top of the barrel in the direction that you need the derailleur to go more".
Not a big deal, I'm just saying that I'm sympathetic. I took mechanical drafting in high school and most people did not have an easy time picturing spatial relationships at all. Mechanical people often have an advantage they don't even realize.
