People often believe that water goes clockwise or anti-clockwise depending on which hemisphere you are in due to the Coriolis force of the Earths spin. This isn't true.
The direction water curls down the plug hole depends completely on whether the water is still or moving in a certain direction before the plug is removed.
But don't depsare!!! The Coriolis force DOES have an effect on large whirlpools in the ocean, just not in sinks and baths.
