Oh, to be Left-Handed in a Right-Handed World!

Hey guess what!

Us normal not freak people sometimes have to use our left hands for things! How about that?

Witches, all of you.

A friend I sat next to in a class was left-handed and we used to get on each other's nerves as I'm right-handed and we kept bumping elbows.

I don't see the difference between right-hand and left-hand scissors, bar the colour.

The GBA was fine for us lefties you didn't need to use a stylus to draw pretty shapes or select tiny icons that even the little finger cannot touch without getting it wrong. This recent spree of nintendo ds games involving the whole "use the D-pad and the stylus to control this" system makes me wanna hurl my DS at the wall. I cannot do both of those things with my left hand. A prime example is The world ends with you.

Um, in TWEWY, you can use the ABXY buttons as directional buttons too. Try it sometime.

Being Left - handed is awesome! :( I love coming home and having pencil marks on the side of my left hand! So smooth.

My husband writes like that too. He always gets me to do paperwork and such because his hand tends to ache after long times writing things.

This is mostly an issue with older scissors S:

When you use them with your left hand, the blades are forced apart a little, so the paper sometimes folds or tears instead of cutting cleanly. Some righty scissors are uncomfortable to hold and it's difficult to see where exactly you're cutting. A lot of guns are harder to use left-handed, too.

Scissors can be irritating, but I can generally cut fine with my right hand. Just takes some practice. It's not TOO difficult, the right hand is still dexterous enough to do most of what you need it for.

The writing is really irritating though, especially since a lot of nice pens smudge.

probably the worst are mini spiral-bound notebooks

I have those suckers all flipped upside-down and backwards just to get pen to paper


EDIT plus everybody loves stuffing me at Halo

You people must use some strange pens or something because i tried writing right to left with my right hand and the ink doesnt run on my hand or anything.

I thought you loved me :cry:

Erm, I smudge my writing when I use fountain pens and the like because I write like a flipped righty. Also I cannot cut things. But I use cutlery right-handedly.

It also has to do with the way they hold the writing utensils.

There is actually a Southpaw controller configuration. Try it out sometime. I'm curious as to how it works.

I have no idea why, but on Rock Band, lefty mode on DRUMS is a lot easier for me. :eep:
