Left handed people

ibFoxer

Lefty myself for the writing, but I noticed recently that I tend to open doors with my right hand carry heavier loads of shopping with my right, and I find using my phone one handed weird in my left hand, so again I tend to use the right. In fact, outside of cutting bread, eating with a spoon or fork, writing and operating a remote, everything else is with my right hand. Could always hurl off either side too. Kick with my left, if that makes a difference.

Bit of trivial info, very few left handed people can read the printed writing on Pens because it's upside down

They're really missing out there, so they are Ted.

You're sane then, using your right hand to click.

I'm right-handed but one that a lefty friend pointed out to me was cameras.
They all have the shutter button on the top right and it just feels awkward and wrong.

Why doesn't your lefty friend just turn the camera around the other way!

Complete lefty. I can't use a scythe. I've looked for a left handed one in vain. Same with bill hooks.

In Thailand they have a word for left handed people “E SAI PAI KEE ” it's mean the people who use the hand which touch the [excrement]

I worked in a hotel years ago when I was in college. I had a left handed corkscrew. Great craic loaning it to the righties.

Sign of brains and long life and yes I'm a left hand ginger !!
Signing in onto ring binders etc a disaster, especially in this climate of contact tracing !!
But I did make the school football team because of it !!

The ring binders are a scandal and pens in left hands leave smudges everywhere (unless you're Chinese).

The struggle is real.
They used to call me the silver surfer in school because of pencil marks on my hand. C*nts

I'm trans right. I was originally ambidextrous with primary usage on the left. But then the nuns got their way and I'm pretty much right handed now, except for can openers. Can only use the left handed ones.

I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

Lefties are better by design. Extend your forefinger and your thumb and it makes an L.

Kids should learn this to know left from right.

As soon as I see someone is left handed I distrust them. More to do with knowing sneaky basterds who just happened to be lefties

sinistra; which is where the word sinister comes from... It was partly that they were in a minority etc. Always the unique and different get picked on.

I should say "we"' ; in my far off school days, left handers were forced into using their right hands for writing. I only realised much later that I am left handed; that was why my handwriting was always appalling and got me into trouble …

The happy result is that now I am ambidextrous

NB Is there a link between lefthandedness and wordblindness?

Lord love a leftie.

I'm left handed and but do many other things with the right. So I'm basically ambidextrous.

Some psychologists believe left handers are make up a large portion of creative types because we use the right side of our brain more. Not only that but being left handed forces us to be creative with challenges being left handed has in a right handed world.

I don't know about that. Half those "facts" about left handers are bollox and created to make us feel better because we're semi-retarded.

At least it's easier to catch left handed killers.
How many drama shows had a plot line that the killer held the knife in their left hand.

Must be loads of leftie psychos killing innocent people to alleviate their frustration.

Never had as issue with anything but then I grew up in the 80’s where it was normal to be forced to use your right hand. I can write with both now and never struggle with anything apart from those pens in the bank or post office which are bolted to the right side of the table.

A lot of things still don't cater to lefties.

Ring binders and pens come to mind but in all walks of life.

Just on this.

I do the stationery order in our place, and I always order about 20% of the pens to be left-handed.

They're more expensive, as obviously have to be made in smaller batches.

Somebody said that left-handed people are more likely to have dyslexia, so is there a chance that if they did the 'L' forefinger/thumb thing with their right hand, they may think they are correct in thinking it's the left? :pac:
