Top 20 reasons why the world is against the left-handed person

By News Staff 

Top 20 reasons why the world is against the left-handed person News Staff Fri, 08/12/2022 - 05:55

20. Two words: Ink smears. Whenever lefties try to right with ink, they end up smearing their writing beyond recognition.

19. Wristwatches. All watches are made to be worn on the left arm, and the southpaw wears his watch on the right arm. Try putting your watch on the right arm, and then try to push the buttons or turn the little knob. You can‚t!

18. Using a computer. When‚s the last time you saw a left-handed mouse? And how about the keyboards? Everything is designed for use by a right-handed person.

17. Boomerangs. There‚s just no way a regular boomerang will return to a person throwing with their left hand. It‚s impossible!

16. Record players. It‚s so annoying for a lefty to try to use a record player.

15. Remote controls. You probably never thought about it, but those little remotes are created with the right-handed person in mind. The way the buttons rearranged makes it difficult for a lefty to use normally.

14. Table settings. Every time a southpaw goes to a fancy restaurant, they have to rearrange the silverware so they can use it normally like everyone else.

13. All cooking utensils. Try stirring or scooping food out of a pot or pan with your left hand. It‚s an adventure!

12. Coffee mugs. They‚re fine for the lefty as long as they like looking at the plain side of the mug.

11. Potato peelers. Lefties just can‚t use them.

10. Driving a manual (stick shift) vehicle. It would be so much easier for the left-handed person if the stick were on the left side.

9. Scissors. It‚s impossible to use “normal” scissors when you‚re left-handed. The paper just won‚t cut.

8. Rulers. Southpaws think differently, sow hen a lefty uses a ruler, the number seem to go the wrong way on a regular ruler.

7. Playing cards. It‚s difficult to play cards when you can‚t see the numbers on the corner of the cards. A lefty‚s hand covers them.

6. Pocket knives. They just never seem to be as handy to a southpaw as they are for right-handed people.

5. Making “normal” check marks. Check marks were created by some righty because a lefty just can‚t scratch down a “normal” check mark like righthanded people can. Try it and see for yourself.

4. CD cases. The first time a lefty tries to open a CD case, they totally get confused.

3. Notebooks. Try writing with your left hand on a spiral or three-ring notebook. Those three rings or spiral metal things interfere with your writing.

2. Those desks in schools. The slab of wood sticking off the right side makes it comfortable for right-handers to write on it. How often do you see ones with the slab of wood on the left side?

1. Sitting beside the left-gifted righthanded person at a dinner table. You know what it‚s like to sit next to a lefty at a table? Now just imagine always having to be bothered by that.
