I'm left-handed, and I like it because we're better people than right-handers.

This world is not designed for us though...

Proof that you're not better surely?

I must have bought a left handed telly ,as my controls are on the left.

Right handed though....

These theme days are a bit pointless aren't they ?

[Rawwr]

There's something very sinister about left-handed people.

True, so how would you identify a southpaw to an alien who had no concept of Left and Right ?

[ saying " the one who looks a bit glaikit " does not count ]

[Matt Cup]

My mum is a lefty and was tormented by Nuns as a kid and made to sit on her hand to make the right dominant, didn’t work though.

Oh and are righties north paw?

What you did. I saw it.

I have three brothers and we're all left-handled. Do I win £5?

Both Bush snr and Jnr, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were lefties.

[Baldchap]

What about those of us who are largely ambidextrous? Do we win two prizes?

[Bright Halo]

I’m right handed but box/MA spar southpaw.

[2 sMoKiN bArReLs]

I'm left handed too.

But try to play golf right handed.

Why do right handed people hold their fork in the opposite hand to their spoon? (not necessarily at the same time)

I am a lefty but 2 things that annoy the fook out of me with other lefties is:

1, Changing the damn mouse buttons to be left click is now the right button and right is the left, funking idiots. Left is left and right is right and I have my mouse in my left and the buttons are normal.

2, Writing with their hand above the the line or cack handed. I am unable to find a picture but I see it all the time.

Found something, why oh why? I write left to right just like a righty.

Another lefty here

I've never switched the mouse buttons around - in fact I've always used the mouse in my right hand (ever since getting an Atari ST in the late 80s as a child).

Surely as a lefty you'll understand or at least realise why some of us write above the line? To stop smudging the still drying ink or to avoid getting ink on the outsides of your fingers! Although when their arm is curled over the whole page I'll agree it does look a bit silly.

Write below the line left to right, no smudging required

Can you post a picture of a right handed tin opener please?

Not sure what you mean but does remind me to get a normal one as mine is blunt. And yes the bloody winder key can be a pain.

Would be nice, though I confess I learnt to write left handed, though I can use most tools with either hand, which comes in handy at work if it's a tight space. I play guitar right handed, but I think the 'complicated' bit is done by my left hand anyway.

With drums I'm a bit odd: My hands are right handed, but I realised that my feet play more like a left handed drummer (bass drum with my left foot). I guess I'm just confused, so I'll have to hand back both prizes.

yep exactly, I guess for some people it's maybe not comfortable, or they're too set in their way to change.
