Got bitten by this at TPE -- seat assignment was 15A, and despite the signs for J to use 1L and Y to use 2L I thought "I ought to ignore that and use 2L anyway" but out of self-doubt or just being mindless I went through 1L, then wished I'd listened to myself as I slowly made my way through the first half of the cabin and then had to merge into the 2L traffic...

Doesn't help the poor guy in 1A at all.
1A/D through 8A/D could still use 2L and just turn left Or if you wanted to get really granular 1A/D-4A/D could use 1L
