It's the same as one driver wishing to turn left, turns right. This don't happen.
Let me recount another story of mine....
The very first time I ever flew the 737 with my wife, on departure from a Southern Spanish airfield, where we rarely followed the SID, (which involved a turn to the right, to come back overhead the airfield), and instead normally got a left turn direct towards a certain waypoint, I was instructed to turn right.
Guess which way I turned, until she pointed out the error of my ways....
Never say never in this business.
PS: I still suffering the consequences of this mistake today....
