Lefties: What’s your greatest source of frustration in this right-handed world?

Lefties: What’s your greatest...

Posted at 12:41 AM • 12 Comments

I always struggled with scissors.

When I was working at McDonald’s the fry scooper was made for use with the right hand. The lobby would be filled with customers at lunch time, every one ordering 5 and 6 orders of supersized fries for their whole family and I would be there trying to use this horrid fry scooper and 4 or 5 angry employees would be standing behind me glaring over my shoulder. It was so bad that it almost like it was designed for me to scoop up the fries and then flick my wrist, sending the fries flying everywhere. They fell to the floor and would then become embedded in your shoe and make it hard to walk. Such fun!

Anyway, that tool was impossible for a while…but then I got the hang of it. Eventually I learned to use it proficiently and became the fastest french fry slinger in town. Sad but true. Hang in there, it gets easier.

Getting ink on my hand because I’m sliding over what I just wrote.

But in fact, I’m all mixed up what I use my hands for.

I eat with my left hand.
I write with my left hand.
I cut with my right hand.
I throw with my right hand.

etc.

I’m all mixed up.

Guitars. I play guitar left-handed and usually the lefty guitars cost more, harder to find the one I’m looking for, and the chord diagrams are mostly for right-handed players.

I never had that problem with scissors like most lefties have had.

I find eating next to righties and bumping into them constantly is annoying. Then they always blame me, like it’s MY fault for being born left handed. lol, maybe it’s THEIR fault for being born right handed

that, and getting the ink smeared all over my hand because I have to drag it in the wet ink as I write.

Pencils.

Righties make fun of how I hold mine

Also dragging the ink across the page and getting it all over my hand is annoying.

I struggle with scissors, can openers and the fact that because im lefthanded people think i don’t know how to write…it’s awkward..

I’m right-handed but I struggle cutting with scissors with my left-hand, for scissors meant for right-handed people.

That makes no sense, or does it?
