Today is international left handers day, So all you right handed people, be nice to us left handers today.
Come the revolution when lefties rule the world, we will get you back for the scissors and the can openers.

woohoo for 'Lefties'!!!!

Screw you Righties, you will never know the pain of constantly smudging your writing whenever using a fountain pen or the joy when you discover you can avoid it by writing upside down!

I've never struggled with can openers or scissors... are you sure you're doing it right? (no pun intended) wink

I rather get the shudders when I see some poor chap with his watch on the RIGHT WRIST!. I mean, really? It's a pretty poor show. Clearly poor parenting.

I tried it once out of curiosity. It made me feel ill.

Lefties - I accept you, apart from:
Playing golf
Playing guitar
Holding a rifle
That weird upside down writing thing you do

Please stop doing all these things and we will get on fine.

Enjoy your day.

Left handed, but I can do most of my daily tasks right handed. I just have issues laying carpets or flooring, I start in the wrong place for the right handed biffs!

Must admit I.
Play golf right handed, had no choice only right handed clubs available when I was learning
Pool, Left.
Cricket, Left or right.
Rounds/basball,Left
Saxaphone.Right,no other way.
Wear my watch on my left wrist,
Been after a left handed keyboard at work for ages,the I.T. guy didn't believe me until I googled it for him.

My mum used to rapped over the knuckles with a ruler at school for using her left hand, Now she is ambidextrous.Would have been useful if she had broken her arm, but never has, Oh well still time !!!!!

Lefty and proud. biggrin

Although i am actually cross lateral (left handed/right footed) and do most things nearly as well with my right hand.

Although there is one thing that i can only do with one hand.

Virtual beer for the person who guesses it. hehe

My best leftie purchase this year has been a Tuff Luv L.H. iPhone wallet / case. The phone is secured in the left portion of the wallet, with cards etc in the right. It makes opening and using a whole lot easier than the R.H. Versions. Comes in a decent leather finish too.

E.T.A. No connection with the manufacturer / vendor.

I am too left handed when it comes to writing and left footed but anything like throwing, using scissors, punching, using a screwdriver etc I always do right handed?!? Weird really!

I'm right handed and footed but do somethings weirdly; shooting and playing snooker to name a couple. Always have done it the wrong way round, not sure why.

Mum reckons it's because when I was a kid she made a point of handing me things to both hands and encouraging me to use both.

Another leftie here...well left handed for writing and left footed for kicking...but right handed for throwing and hitting...but then left again for snooker / pool and if I played a guitar or held a shot gun I'd be left handed...but right handed for using scissors...it's a wonder I know what the fk I'm doing half the time!!

I'm naturally left handed but do just about everything with whatever hand is more convenient the only stuff that is always the same hand is
Shooting = right handed as I learnt with bolt action and hot casing hitting you in the face really hurt
Writing = left handed as my right hand looks like a 5yr olds
