I just wanted to …
I just wanted to chime in! I’m in agreement with my left handed bretherin below. I had no problem using right handed scissors with my left hand. I didn’t even know there was a problem till I saw documentaries like this. Although cutting when I was young did make my hands tired, as an adult the hands are capable of cutting paper. The only time I think my hands would still hurt with scissors is if I had to cut cardboard. You’d get tired cutting cardboard anyway, but with the left, it’s sooner.rsherfan on November 30, 2008 at 2:12 am. -

It’s true that if you use the wrong hand with the wrong scissors, but i’ve never understood why.I’ve tried to cut wrong with my right hand, and to cut right with my left hand(on right handed scissors) but the right hand always cuts and the left hand never does. it puzzles me.

when i was in …
when i was in school, there was never any left-handed sciossors, so i was forced to use right-handed ones. anyway, i didn’t think there was that much difference — but now looking back i realize that i was always uncomfortable (hand strains), and i couldn’t get them to work sometimes if they were “loose” like everyone else could. i thought i was just bad at cutting. that wasn’t the case though…moonprincess1788 on November 30, 2008 at 2:12 am. -

I’ve never had any real trouble using right handed scissors on my left hand, I guess I just got used to them.Funny thing is, my mom once bought lefty scissors by mistake, and gave them to me because she couldn’t use them on her right hand.slatkasrca on November 30, 2008 at 2:12 am. -

Different scissors, maybe when you were little you got used to use this scissors in right. I’m left handed(Although I got the talent to use both hands almost the same) and I use left for most of my stuff even at work, because left is preferable over right.wolferased on November 30, 2008 at 2:12 am. -
