Where to wear a name tag
There is some debate as to which side of the lapel name tags should be worn. Most people[who?] who are knowledgeable in such areas will proclaim the right side to be the only correct side.

Well, 'most people' are fucking idiots
Left is the correct side. When you meet somebody and shake hands you generally use your right hand so the right-hand side of the chest can be easily obscured. Having the badge on the top-left maximises the visibility of the badge in this greeting situation and the ease of reading the badge.

Christ. Why would you want to shake hands with the sort of pleb who wears a name badge

One of my sincere wishes is to meet the queen, just so that when she gets to me I can be first off the block and ask
"And what do you do?"
