I view “completely turned it around” as as 180 too. Think about it “I’ll turn this car around if you don’t quiet down” it means you’ll go the opposite direction. So “completely turning it around” means they did just that.
Came here to say this. If you do a 360, you turned around twice.
360 deg is exactly the same as 0 deg. .
Its more of a spiral, downward typically.
I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that lol
"180, you Sicilian schmuck! If I did a 360 I would turn all the way around and be right back where I started!"
Usually when I do dat it leaves a hole
Broke: Saying 'completely turned my life around'
Woke: Saying 'completely turned my life around 360°'
Bespoke: Saying 'completely turned my life around 2π radians'
If you turn completely around are you going to same direction you were when you started?
I think it's valid that it's "completely turned my life around" and "I pulled a 180 and changed my life."
Turning my life around 360 would mean my alcoholism is out of control again.
Turn 360 degrees and walk away.
Make like a tree and split
Well duh, the first statement is in radians.
Make a 270
Two wrongs don't make a right but three rights make a left.
Do you know why they call it the Xbox 360?
Cause when you see it you turn 360° degrees and walk away! GOTTEM.
Don't make me completely turn this car around!

It's not the destination but the journey. In that 360 turn you may have looked inwards and at your past, identified failings of the past or remember things you forgot about that you loved. When you reach that 360 point you're more aware of what has been and may have a different outlook on what could be. Or something like that..
"I've completely turned my life an arc" - Will Turner
"completely turned around" could be charitably interpreted as "swiftly and accurately corrected course". 360, not so much.
