What angle do you mow?

I mowed my sisters lawn for her the other day. She lives in one of those places where everyone mows there lawn about the same day and in the same direction. I thought it was rather odd myself. What angle do you mow your lawn? Do you mow horizontally or vertically?
 
I try to use a different angle for every cut, It tends to make the " lines " a little less pronounced.
Vertical , horizontal and just about everything in between.

For the most part, horizontally. The front portion of my yard which is rather large and oddly shaped, I just mow. One of these days I think I'll make some crop circles:laughing:
 
I have attempted the fancier art work in the yards before and it does not turn out right. Then again I have done the same with trying to paint my home and that did not turn out right either. I leave it up to the fact that I am not an artsy type. :)
 
I mow at four different angles; E-W, N-S, & both diagonals. I can usually see the last three ways I've cut, so I can do it in all four ways! I feel like it's better for the grass to not go one direction all the time. ~~ grnspot110
 
I mow in circles, Zamboni style. But my neighbors don't care. The closest one is 500 ft away, behind a 150 foot stand of mature hardwoods.
 
I just start at one corner of my property and follow the property line and just keep mowing around until all the grass is cut.

I mow in four directions but not in straight lines, usually in an 'S'.
The curves make it more visually appealing. Try it sometime.
