a question for lefties
living in a right-handed dominant world, do you find yourselves using gadgets and tools made for right-handers and just adjust to them? or do you buy specific things that are made for lefties?
I just found a left-handed violin on ebay. ALL THOSE FUCKING YEARS, I HAD TO LEARN TO ADJUST TO A RIGHT-HANDED VIOLIN! if only I had known... right now, I want to find a left-handed can-opener. I always look like such an idiot whenever I open a can. anyone know if there's some sort of "leftorium" store around here? --Joanne :P

Great topic Joanne!
I grew up being told by my grade 1 teacher that because I was left handed and couldn't hold my pencil like the right handed kids I'd "never have nice writing" I was really active in sports, and with all sports it was just much easier to learn to do all of those things right handed. Though in some sports, like tennis, I can play comfortably with both hands! It's like being left handed is all about making compromises in life. Sure we have a more difficult time adjusting to things, but we manage eventually. In a way, it's to our advantage because a lot of right handed people would never be able to try something left handed. Just making the compromise and dealing with it seems better than spending the extra money just to get lefty scissors.

I'm a Righty, but the only thing I can't really do with my Left hand is write.

You could just only write in Arabic or Hebrew... they go the other way. No pencil on your hand anymore! :) Mozzletoff!

i think ive gotten a lot more comfortable using both hands in the past year from dj'ing and scratching... when i scratch i have my left hand on the record so ive been getting a lot of practice doing precise movements with my left hand

finally, people who feel my pain! the worse is when it's on a chalk board or an over-head projector. you either get stuck with messy writing or smudges on the back of your hand. oh, and it's also really bad when you're in school and you have these right-handed seats. some schools have leftie chairs, but I remember when I took a class at UBC, the whole lecture hall I was in had seats ONLY FOR RIGHT-HANDERS!! myra: omg, when I played sports, it was always so fucked for me. like, when I play tennis, I hit right-handed when it's underhand, but when it's overhand, I have to use my left hand (it's the same thing in volleyball). and when I played basketball, I would bounce with my left hand, but shoot with my right. and don't even get me started with golf! when we had to play golf in PE, I brought a set of left-handed and right-handed clubs because I was never sure which I felt more comfortable with!! John: get out of the thread, your kind is not welcome here! --Joanne :P

LEFTY, WHUT!
Im also a proud lefty. Been a lefty my whole lefty life. I used to have special cutting sicsors when i was younger, they were green...but i am so bad of a cutter, they really made no dame differance. Other then that a special baseball mit, although during school pe games i would have to suffer and be a righty. I play way fucking better in a lefty glove though. Everything else is a right handed world for me, except my mind. Im pretty good with both hands, if you know what i mean *wink* *wink* *nudge* nudge nudge* haha..peace.

hey freak gang, go move to space/the bottom of the ocean/a leper colony so the rest of us normals can reap the benefit of living in a monohanded world. you can all learn to write hebrew and not feel weird shaking hands with each other COMPLETELY WRONG.
the GNP of each country would raise at least 10%. THANKS FOR HOLDING THE WORLD DOWN WITH YOUR SELF-CENTERED DEFIANCE. every time you throw a frisbee wrong ITS LIKE A BIG MIDDLE FINGER TO HUMANITY. ps: we still need your sports players and super geniuses like einstein.

i am so left-handed it's stupid. most left-handed people i know are able to use their right hands for something ie: sports, jerking off ect...
my right hand is practically useless. i wish i could get it cut off and replace it with something cooler and more useful.
