That's more confusing IMO, I don't usually roll my screws on the floor (not intentionally at least)
Why can't we all just use (counter) clockwise? My reminder is only counter-clockwise is back in time, so you turn the screw back to how it was before you fastened it. Clockwise makes time pass until the screw is stuck. Yes this is more intuitive in my head, don't shame me.
Remembering (C)CW is just another arbitrary thing like remembering left and right. But if you imagine that circular thing as a rolling wheel, then just left and right suffices to describe which way it is turning.
I'm not sure, but I think we had wheels earlier than screws or clocks so it stuck.
