Abstract
Except at the Earth's poles and at the equator, a box on a horizontal surface cannot remain at rest relative to the surface unless a very small static friction force acts upon the box. I demonstrate here that in the Northern Hemisphere, the required static friction is in the counterintuitive direction of south to north.
