Since the majority of people are right handed, food service and beverages are both done from the right side of the seated person by the right hand of the server. Removal is done from the left.
We drive in the US on the right side because of our rebellion from Britain. In Britain, where they did ride horses in armor, driving and trains are on the left, so the drivers of carts, cars, and trains can see the oncoming traffic sitting on the left. Jousting is done riding on the right side because the shield is carried on the left, the right being more dexterous (dexter = right, sinister = left).

because most people are right handed, the reason you drive on the right is because you wanted to be bloody awkward, on the concept of motoring ALL cars were left hand drive.
