Get a grip.
The problem with this question is that people don't realize that in an airport like JFK with four landing strips designated as eight runways (4L-22R, 4R-22L, 31R-13L and 31L-13R) there are infinite combinations in which ATC can direct a pilot to the airport.
Many of us just don't want to risk the follow-up message from someone who writes, "I sat on the left as you told me to but the view was on the right" so we write nothing.
