Lefty Discrimination

Donkey-07

This is an issue that has bothered me since I have started ere in U.L...wtf is the story with the writing desks in all the lecture halls favouring only the right handed scholars of the college!!!? Being a 'citoeg' or 'lefty' I'm forced 2 twist at an unmerciful angle 2 scribble down my notes! Surely there could be a compromise reached...ie a certain portion of seats in each theatre being designated lefthand fold down tables!! Down with this right handed bias!! Leftys unite for the cause!:D

I could be wrong but I think there are left handed ones...definetly there are in the jean monnet anyway.

Simple solution: Start writing right handed...the proper way

Mr. CooL ICE

Well, you could ask the equality officer to designate an area of each room and hall with roughly 10% of the seats for lefties, and have a big banner "LEFTY AREA. TRESPASSERS WILL BE PROSECUTED", possibly with flashing lights and an automated gun turret that shoot on sight any right-handed wannabe lefties. Only problem is, the right-handed cleaning staff mightn't be able to clean the area and extra left-handed cleaning staff would need to be hired to do the job.

But seriously, what lecture halls are you in? There certainly are plenty of lefty seats/desks, and I always hate accidentally sitting at one and having to move. Goddamn lefties!

Solution. Bring your own Left-handed foldable chair with you everywhere.

Seriously though, there are alot of rooms with left-handed chairs (I know as Im Right-handed and had to use them on occasion). You must just have drawn the short straw this time around, room wise. Like was said you could contact the equality offices and see if they can put a few lefty chairs in the rooms that your in.

It is...Fidel Castro is a leftie, in both senses of the word. I think its fair to say, based on this fact, that all left handed people are dirty communists.

Yeah it's not a problem in the small rooms, but as others said in the big halls like FG042 and Jean Monet there's no lefty chairs at all! I found out the desks in CSG01 could kinda turn the other way, but they tended to make cracky breaky noises
