The (new) Left Handed Alliance Of Left Handed People

[dark-daventry]

Funny thing about that; I can actually use right-handed scissors perfectly with my left hand. Ironically, my mom once got me a pair of left-handed scissors and I couldn't use them at all. Go figure.

That's really ironic, don't you think?

[Enchantermon]

Yeah; it's weird. But I guess that proves that you can do anything if you try hard enough.

True. I suppose I should put my mind towards learning how to adapt in a righty dominated world...

[Enchantermon]

Yup. Things aren't going to change anytime soon, so we had better get used to it.

Aww, but that's too much work for me... I'm just that lazy

[Enchantermon]

Lol! Sounds like you should start a procrastinators alliance, too.

Eh. I'll start it later...

[Enchantermon]

I was hoping you'd say that.

[dark-daventry]

I was hoping you'd say that.

I figured. But it's the perfect response really. I mean, there's no other way for me to respond to that...

I've always used my mouse left-handed.  And I don't even reverse the keys.  So I feel like every time I click on something, I'm giving the finger to the right-handed world.  It's a nice morale booster.  I also tend to leave the mouse on the left side of the computer.  Hey, if I have to move the mouse every time I use a computer somewhere, the rest of the world should have to move it back!  Sure, I might sound like a jerk, but hey, enjoy that little taste of my everyday life, righties!

And left-handed scissors are the worst!  By the end of kindergarten I had learned that those special scissors would do nothing except mangle and fold the paper I was trying to cut.  And even worse, they all had brightly colored handles, almost as if the manufacturers wanted to make sure everyone could tell that you were a lefty, just to set you completely apart.  Because of all that, I use scissors right-handed.  There's just no other way to do it.  The world will have a cure for cancer and personal jetpacks before finally breaking the technology that will allow left-handed scissors to actually work.

I use my mouse right handed now, but for a long time I used it left handed.  I learned to use it right handed....welll after my really nice left handed gaming mouse broke.  That was a while ago though.  Now I can use my mouse either way kinda but I have come to prefer right handed.

I can't write anything with my right hand though.  My handwriting sucks in the first place but I have 0 coordination in my right hand.  It just doesn't work for writing.

I use right handed scissors left handed.... it has always worked fine.

High-five!

Well, I'm right handed, but for most of a year I had to be a lefty cause I tore the ligament between my thumb and index finger and couldn't use my right hand. That count? ^^;

You're stretching it, but I'll allow it. You've felt the way us lefties have had to live, so you seem to be understanding...

[colin]

Yes I am left handed and have eye hand coordination problems which have caused no end of problems.

[dark-daventry]

Welcome Colin! I too happen to have hand-eye coordination problems. Well, technically I have a lot of problems...

[Deloria]

Yay for lefties! I too am a left-handed person. darn pen-smudges... And scissors! Ugh!

Although, through sheer force of habit, I do a fair few things with my right hand. I play the violin right-handed (though it's difficult to switch and messes up an orchestra), and use the mouse and remote with my right hand. I drink ambidextrously too.

And you eat with your left hand because the right hand is holding mine.

Good point! Being left-handed is a huge boon at mealtimes

[Enchantermon]

I don't know about that...if I'm eating at a long table, there are only two places I can sit, because everywhere else will result in me bumping elbows with the righties at the table.
