17 Everyday Objects That Are Useless To Left-Handed People
It's a righty's world, and we're just living in it.
1. You can't wear watches! It's impossible to reach the buttons because they're on the WRONG SIDE.
2. There's no use trying to use the cupholders in cars since they're on your RIGHT side and virtually inaccessible with your left hand.
The hella awkward *trying keep your right hand on the steering wheel while attempting to maneuver your left hand over/under to reach the cup holder and attempting to repeat in reverse.*
3. Forget about taking notes. It's impossible to write in spiral-bound notebooks.
4. You never get the joy of seeing the graphics on mugs. They're just sad, blank, and a bit depressing.
Just once can we get a graphic that wraps around? Pretty please.
5. Highlighting is just a bunch of guesswork. You may be highlighting the phrase you want. Or maybe it's a jumble of words three lines above.
6. There's no chance of using a ladle with a spout. It's on the wrong side, and you're pretty much destined to spill soup ~everywhere~.
7. You actually can't eat food in cans. Can openers are totally backwards and work for you approximately 0% of the time.
No. Just no.
8. Cutting paper isn't even an option. Scissors are just pointless.
Unless you're one of those lefties who never had lefty scissors, were corrupted by society, and forced to learn to use right-handed scissors in elementary school.
9. You straight-up can't measure liquid. When the handle is on the *correct* side, only the metric lines show.
Do you think I actually know the conversion rate? Or perhaps that the US has suddenly gotten its shit together and started using metric?
10. Gym class was torture because there were never enough lefty gloves and righty ones are just worthless.
To top it all off, the lefty ones were always extra shitty.
11. Zippers are just barely usable, requiring you to try multiple times to use your incompetent right hand to close your jacket.
Alternatively, you can play "let's see how many times I can get my sleeve caught in the zipper while reaching around my body to get to the pull."
12. All of the important keys on a controller are on the right side. So basically, they just want us to lose every time.
Unless you admit defeat and put on lefty handicap, but honestly, who wants to do that?
13. You wear your belt differently than everyone else. And you really don't appreciate when people tell you it's upside-down. This is the right way to wear it, but thanks for the concern.
14. You have to turn your ENTIRE body just to write while sitting at a desk.
15. Playing cards? Nope, not for lefties. It's impossible to see the numbers on the top of the cards.
16. Serrated knives and cake servers are worthless to you. The serrated edge is always on the wrong side.
Please, please just make both side serrated.
17. Pens and pencils? The ultimate enemy. They make your hand look like a piece of abstract art.
I always wanted to be the Silver Surfer. Writing in pencil makes all those dreams come true!
