But that got me thinking...it really is kind of stressful to be left handed. I mean, the only advantage other than epic coolness is trickiness on the sports field. I mean, look at all the things we left handed folk have to put up with:
- right handed scissors-adjust or never cut paper again!
- right handed desks-super annoying...nuff said
- writing the english language-left to right? come on people!
- writing anything on a marker board-everything thats written is immediately erased by your hand
- using a computer mouse-always on the right side of the keyboard...always!
- track pad on a laptop-my latest laptop finally got a track pad where you can switch up the buttons
- credit card machines-swipey deal is always on the right, same with the pen to sign
- gearshifts in cars-I guess if I was european it wouldn't be an issue
- shaking hands-I always carry my stuff in my right hand..and thats the one everyone wants to shake
- learning sports-I've gotten really good with mirroring what coaches show me. Unfortunately...
- dancing-due to my automatic mirroring impulses dancing is now impossible to learn
- arm wrestling-either way someone always has an unfair advantage
- table setting-the cups are always on the right, which makes things awkward
- eating in general-unless you exile yourself to the outside you're always bumping arms with someone
- safety button on power tools-apparently if you're left handed you deserve to lose fingers
- take picture button on cameras-always on the right
- guitar hero-was a pain before they invented lefty flip
- tv control things at the field house-on the right handle of the machines
- corsages-my good friend Rachel Gale told me they're supposed to go on the left of your shirt, but if you're pinning it on yourself and you are left handed...yeah...
- ignition in cars-on the right side
- stereo in cars-same deal
- my parents water pik-super awkward to use if you're left handed
Have a nice day.
