15 problems only left-handed people understand
Let's take a moment to remember that in this right-biased world sometimes life is hard. Here’s 15 problems you only understand if you’re a leftie...
1. Scissors A special trip to the stationery shop is needed 2. Handshakes are complicated We'll stick to waving or head nods
3. Ink on our hands That fountain pen looks lovely, until we've smudged it a second later 4. Pens on chains We'll just use our own... 5. Kitchens are dangerous places Tin openers can already be quite tricky at the best of times but if you're a leftie it becomes near impossible. We'll get in there one way or another...
6. Dinner tables are always set out wrong It can get awkward when we take a sip of the wrong drink
7. Getting dressed is hard Belts. Watches. Zips. We'll stick to jumpers and elastic.
8. The lack of left-handed instruments at school We always dreamed of being a rock star but the guitars at school just didn't allow it
9. We get called weird nicknames Southpaw, buck-fisted, cack-handed - we're no different to righties!
10. Wind-up watches These are fashionable and look great, winding them up is not fun though. We'll just leave it constandly at 7.45. 11. Spiral notebooks Getting towards the margin can be painful 12. These desks
13. Game controllers This is the only reason we are bad at Fifa, honest...
14. Sports Rounders, "There's a leftie - everyone move round"
15. We don't live as long... Apparently some studies show we can live up to nine years less than those who are right-handed, no surprise with scissors designed the way they are! So there you have it, 15 problems right-handed people never have to endure, they'll never know our pain.
