In hanging shirts, i face the open side of the hanger toward the left shoulder of the shirt, so the shirts all face to the left when hung in my closet.
When transporting them in my car (generally between college and home, hung on a bar over the back seat of my car), it reverses, because i hang them from the middle out on the driver's side, with the collars facing to the outside.

As a male (and one who holds to the historical concept that laziness is the mother of all invention), i hang my pants 1) so they won't look like they need ironing as often, and 2) because i don't have much drawer space for anything except whites.
Regarding 1, i quit ironing my clothes after coming to college, didn't even bring the ol' B&D with me this last year, but i'm a type A personality who is still bothered if his clothes look like they should have been ironed.
With direction, i don't care about the pants. I fold them with the pleat a bit above the knee, and that's all. But i do hang the clean clothes on the left, and the clothes i take off at the end of the day (unless it's been a sweaty day) on the right.

I don't bother making my bed unless all the blankets (cold-blood creature that I am, I usually have two or three of them - including an afgan) are practically on the floor. Or sideways or something.
School leaves me no time to make beds. I get up with five minutes or less to spare in the morning, not enough to do such things. I do, however, at least try to cover the fitted sheet completely with the comforter. The dorm ventilation system is quite dusty and layers anything uncovered in the room with dust in a short period of time.

I don't understand this. The towel is only properly hung when it can't air out as it dries, guaranteeing that it will go stale? *confus-ed*
