Wrong Side Of Bed.
What is the wrong side of bed? Does a wrong side even exist? Where did this phrase come from. We say when someone gets up grouchy, mean, and upset as getting up on the wrong side of the bed. Well, I wanted to get to the bottom of it. Through my extensive research via google.com I found absolutely nothing.
I'm not exactly sure where the phrase came from, but the wrong side is the left side. We see and believe everything left as being bad, because it's common knowledge that the right side is the strong side. At least that's what the Romans believed way back in the day. They were very superstitious and made an appoint to get up on the right side. Is that why the ruled most of the world?
No known studies have been made to prove if "getting up on the wrong side of the bed" really has an effect on us. Besides if you're married to Gabriell Union, is there a "wrong side" when getting out of the bed.

The idiom "got up on the wrong side of the bed" reaches back to origins found in the Torah. Everything good was supposed at the "right hand of God" which precluded that anything left contained a hidden evil or less than Godly. Therefore, anyone who got out of bed on the left hand side was supposed to be destined to having a really bad day because he/she did not lead with God. The word sinister in Latin means left and over time the "left" in general became identified with evil or bad vibes.
