    $\begingroup$ @f'' I think 'simple' looking puzzles are OK as long as they don't have trivial answers. I don't think the answer to this one is obvious. Surely not every question on this website has to be over 10 lines long? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ The ordering of 'fingers' certainly can be safisfied by choosing an appropriate point of view, even though it's not obvious why one of six directions should be preferred. +1 anyway! $\endgroup$

It is probably:

The three buttons on an Android(Lollipop or +) screen.
See the encircled buttons : ![screenshot with 285x443]1

Note:

Assuming that you have crossed your fingers (index finger and middle finger) to touch your new phone!
where: $\vartriangleleft$ is 'Back', $\bigcirc $ is 'Home' and $\square$ is 'Recent'.

Is there a possibility that you are:

Ninja Turtles Ninja Turtles

I have three fingers,

Ninja Turles have 3 fingers in each hand

Middle finger has a triangle, Left finger has a circle and Right finger has a square

A pizza slice is a triangle, and a whole pizza is a circle. There are also popular square shaped pizzas now.
Ninja Turtles are glutton when it comes to pizza. I can imagine them stacking 3 pizzas each on one finger.
