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

[Yar]

*sigh*

It's so hard! I was trying to cut a sheet of paper today, but the scissors were right-handed. It looked like a five year old had cut the paper.

Then, while I was trying to scoop ice-cream, the handle was shaped to be held in the right hand. How disappointing.

Our stupid language is written from left to right, so whenever I use a pen, the side of my hand turns the color of my pen.

People always insist I use my right hand when we shake hands. What's so bad about my left hand?

About the only right-handed thing I use is a computer mouse, and that's because i think using it left handed feels awkward.

So, I'm urging all lefties to unite and overthrow our right-handed oppressors! How have our right-handed overlords ruined your life recently?

[Leeza]

I do have pity on you lefties.

[Clouded Sky]

I don't remember all the details, but we were cutting an ice cream cake the other day, and it was super hard, and it was made infinitely more difficult by the fact that two of us were cutting it at the same time and she was right-handed. I'm still not sure what happened, but we kept trying not to cut off each others' hands.

RISE UP!

[Psychotic]

You are filth.

People always insist I use my right hand when we shake hands. What's so bad about my left hand?

That's just customary. Like shaking hands in the first place. :P

There are left-handed or ambidextrous versions of pretty much everything you're having problems with. You should invest in them.

[Lawr]

You are filth.

Totally.

[Yar]

You are filth.

Okay, now you're on the list!

Totally.

You too!

[Lawr]

Are you going to shank me with your right-handed knife?

[Jessweeee♪]

YES I KNOW!

Every day in kindergarten I would come home from school with purple hands!


I'm always bumping elbows with people at the table. Everyone has their "spot" so if I sit in one of their seats they get all pissy.



IT IS TIME FOR A REVOLUTION

[Avarice-ness]

xD My husbands left handed. For a while when we'd go out to eat, I'd always sit on the inside of a booth, which means he was on the outside, we always ended up bumping arms when we'd eat 'cause I'm right handed and he's left.
We always hold hands left hand/right hand so we got our matching snake tattoo's on the left (his) wrist and right (mine) wrist.

I still am in awe when he writes though, left handed writes write so weird. > >;

[Jessweeee♪]

They taught me the righty way, so I curl my hand around my pencil in a way that's supposed to be bad for your hands or something

[Blue Harvest]

I feel for you leftys, I really do

[Yar]

I don't curl my hand around the paper. That's interesting that so many lefties do. I'm practically symmetrical to a righty.

[Denmark]

Either teach yourself to do things right-handed, or live with it. We can't help being the majority.

[XxSephirothxX]

Most of those things should be easy for you. I'm left-handed, and I could use scissors just fine by the time I was, I dunno, in elementary school? Shaking hands isn't exactly difficult either.

The only thing I dislike about being left-handed is the writing thing. Other than that, it's generally a unique characteristic or an advantage.
