So I was trying to open a can of baked beans when I met one of my worst enemies…
The CAN OPENER!
This tool is cruelly made for right-handed people, and as I’m part of the ten percent that uses their left, cannot use it correctly. I peel off the wrapper, shred the metal, and manage to take off the entire top…Here’s the photographic evidence
Some call it luck, some call it skill, I call it the lefty curse…
What else bugs a Lefty? Let me tell you….
- Scissors, evil things they are. I am awful at cutting paper and right-handed scissors are the reason why!
- Three Ring Binders, Spiral Notebooks, and Rulers! Ugh, don’t even get me started on these horrible things!
- Measuring Cups. I feel like a yoga teacher trying to twist my arm around to read the cups…
- People asking, “Are you left-handed?” when I’m obviously using my left hand
- Smudges on your right hand when writing or drawing
- Computer Mouses (You can change to left hand settings though)
- Number key pad is on the right side of keyboard
- Trying to open a bag and the seal is folded to the left. Seriously annoys me!
- Elbowing people when you’re eating ’cause they put you one the inside
- Kindle app page turning is horrible….
- People saying I’m going to die earlier
Perks
- You are rare!
- No one expects a soccer player to kick with their left foot
- That goes for all sports, left-handedness is helpful to offense or defense:)
- Supposedly we’re smarter
And we are awesome! Left-Handers Unite!
