When you're left-handed, you notice other lefties and point them out and usually instantly get along with them, like they're a long-lost cousin from the southpaw family.
Being a right-handed person who dated a lefty and someone whose twin was a lefty, I definitely started noticing the people who were. Especially in my classes. I’d look around just to see who was taking notes with the other hand. One of them was the teacher lol 😁
Lefty here. Noticed the video game comment. Nintendo is rather friendly to us lefties. They call it the Switch for many reasons: One of them being the joycons are designed for both righties AND lefties.
Part of that is because Shigeru Miyamoto is left-handed. He’s been one of the head designers and directors of Nintendo for decades This is also why most versions of Link are left-handed
Don't know if anyone has said this, but left handed anything costs more. I'm the only left handed person in my biological family. My grandmother tried to make me right handed. Didn't work lol
I think one of the biggest wins I had at a job was convincing management to order ambidexterous scissors in place of the right handed only they had been ordering.
I was always shoved to the back of the line at school so I had to adapt to using the one set of left handed scissors per table. Have since taught a left handed friend how to hold scissors backwards, and seen them use the method more than once.
When I was in kindergarten my mom bought Valentine’s cards for my class. Well, as I attempted to write on the Valentines cards, I struggled for a couple of hours and cried because I simply couldn’t write and thought something was wrong with me. My mom kept putting the pencil in my right hand. IT DIDN’T WORK. Needless to say, my mom finally thought about the awful situation and put the pencil in my left hand. I was able to write. The moment I found out I was left handed was traumatic. I will never forget that happening to me. I am now in my 40’s and feel like us lefties are special. Despite the crazy amount of difficulties we endure.
I’ve dealt with the three ring binder thing. I also love it when my hand gets graphite/ink on it after writting. Also the “ Wow, you’re left handed?” comments. I never understood what some people find so fascinating about that.
My father was going to teach me guitar. He took one look at how I held it and took it back and said, "I can't teach you to play upside down!" He put it back in his guitar case. End of lesson. 😂 Lol!
I'm left-handed. My older son (5) is also left-handed. He is playing T-Ball for the first time this summer, so we went up to find him a glove on Mother's Day. All the neat gloves were for right-handed ball players. We wound up buying him a right-handed glove, but my husband assures me that if he needs a left-handed glove, we will get him one.
I had the same left handed teacher for 2nd and 3rd grade. She was a bitch and I hated her, but she did show me how to write without smearing ink/granite. People are always amazed by my penmanship. I never understood why. Scissors are still a struggle. Swing away can openers are a godsend. I’ve had mine almost 30 years and she still works.
Left handed golf clubs are so hard to find. And left handed women’s golf clubs (they’re shorter) are even more novel. Left handed baseball/softball gloves, too. Left handed athletic gear in general, I guess
OMG!!! I never realized that my issues with gas pumps had anything to do with me being left handed! I've been driving for 25 years and just thought I was gas pump stupid.
Apparently when I was a baby my parents tried to switch hand I used by placing objects in my right hand. Whether it was a spoon or a crayon they would place it in my right hand, and whenever I moved it to my left hand, they would take it and place it back in my right hand. They ended up failing and I’m still a lefty today
Never had problems with scissors, i'm quite swift and precise when using them and so i'm quite capable in decoupage works. I attribute this as using the left hand to hold the object gives me a more firm grip.
I have a problem. I need people's opinions I'm right-handed in everything listed Handwriting Shooting guns Hockey stick Fork/spoon Mouse for computers Shaving and brushing teeth Eating (sometimes Left for eating) But I'm cross inverted for these things. Fork/Knife. (Fork in R and Knife in L) when I eat pancakes or something that needs fork and knife. Using the grill at McDonald's. I held the spatula in my right and the other thing (to hold the meats) in my left hand. My manager said "No you're holding jt in the wrong hands." I even tried to switch to it, but I didn't like the feeling, so I went back to my invented way where I had more control. On my PC, I was playing with my hands crossed over. Left for the arrows and right hand on spacebar to shoot. This was some game. My friends were confused, I just liked it that way for my preference. Someone, please explain this to me. Why am I cross inverted?
0:46 having multiple left handed people in my family, it makes it interesting. Luckily I am semi ambidextrous so if I get stuck where being a right handed won’t work, I can eat with the left.
As a southpaw and a PC enthusiast, I am quite annoyed that there are few options for a reversed ATX case, where the motherboard mounts on the left side of the case. It's either very expensive like the Be Quiet! Dark Base series with their reversible mounts, or rather obscure like the Segotep C2 that I am currently using, albeit the latter is cheap at USD 30 when I purchased it back in 2016, but I can't use trifan video cards in it due to the HDD cage.
My brother played baseball when he was a kid. He bats left handed but throws with the right. I always thought it was so cool. He has 3 sons and the youngest is left handed. My bio dad is also left handed. I think 3 or 4 out my nine siblings are left handed.
I'm surprised no one mentioned clipboards. That damn clip blocks the top few lines. Also, PE teachers teaching young kids how to do almost anything. They will give instructions to the right-handers and then say, "If you're left-handed, just reverse everything." B***H, why can't you demystify throwing a damn football for the left-handed kids? I theorize this is why I have trouble differentiating between left an right. I play my instrument right-handed because left-handed thumb picks are impossible to find. I shoot right-handed because that's the way I was taught. Most everything else (can-openers, etc.) I just do it. 20 years as a math/physics teacher, I learned to hover my hand while writing on a white board. Awkward as hell, but at least it could be read, and my hand stayed clean. But here is one most folks never thought of. Framing hammers have the face of the head angled so that a righty smacks the nail square on. I tend to bend many nails because of this. So-if a Lowe Depot employee starts to check the inventory for a left-handed hammer, perhaps he or she knows more than you do. I can read and write inverted and/or mirror image.
Your not making adjustments because we are right handed, you are making adjustments because YOU are left-handed in a world that is 98% right handed, don't get confused.
I'm right handed but most of my scissors, cooking utensils and my can opener are just symmetrical and not specifically designed for righties or lefties. just shop cheaper and don't go for the ergo nonsense.
Im right handed BUT the right hand joystick when used for a characters head to look around the default is always backwards to me itry to look up my character looks down, nowadays it can be inverted so it works for me, but back in the day if there was no invert option I couldn't play the game.
I can use right handes scissors fine. I just adapted i guess. Will still grab/reach first with my left hand. I still haven't figured out the crochet and knitteing patters. I can wing it if theor is a video. I want to make cute little crochet plushies, but most if the patterns are for right handed persons. 😢

@@Abdega That's so cool to know! Thanks for the trivia about Link, dude.
Was wondering why I find playing on the switch to be easier and less taxing than on my ps3
I agree with the kitchen thing and HATED the desks at school.
Everything else is just something I figured out.

Dunno about you, but I do it with toilet paper.

Firearms are becoming more and more ambidextrous.
I legit thought this video was political 🤦🏻
Get you're mind outta the gutter
@@NigeriaOct1It's not an unreasonable assumption
Same here.
@@NigeriaOct1 the gutter analogy means the person was talking about s3xual content.
@@hiroshi7025 i know💀☠ but its about political not sexual
Writing on a whiteboard is the worst. At least writing on paper, the words are still there after you're done

It’s the discrimination for me, the amount of things my parents have told me I can’t do because I’m ’keg-handed’

I've seen left handed people turn things upside down and write upside down to fill in forms and such. The writing was neat and I thought it was cool.
Lefty here, cant understand how those other lefties do that.
@@vincentender1486 even right handed I'm trying to understand it. I'm baffled but yeah it was interesting to see.
Are you sure they aren't holding the paper sideways? That's how I write so I don't smudge ink
@@janiceellery1653 nah they would turn the paper a full 180 and write backwards
@@vincentender1486also lefty here and now I’m wondering why I haven’t at least tried that

the tape measure thing is wrong it was designed by a fellow lefty, you hold it in your right hand and the numbers are the correct way
Never had problems with scissors, i'm quite swift and precise when using them and so i'm quite capable in decoupage works.

I was bracing myself for this to be about Poll E teeks. LOL. I didnt know but left handed was so hard.
Only writing and the ink smudge literally nothing. I ended up being almost completely right-handed except for writing left-handed
Watching forgotten weapons operate bolt action rifles looks very awkward
I am left handed and write with my paper sideways. That way I don't drag my hand over what I have written. People think I'm weird but Oh well 😂🤣
I'm left handed while writing but strong arms my right idk always been weird throws everyone off
