I made video math lessons for my students during the transition to online learning back in the Spring. I recorded my document camera so that all you see were my hands writing notes and doing example problems.
Got an email from a parent saying my videos were great but i would often block what i previously wrote as i kept writing and to find a way to stop that.
It was so hard to not reply back "IM A LEFTIE DEAL WITH IT ASSHOLE!" :P

My handwriting is terrible,
ballpoint pens don't work,
I can't sign for my credit card on the first try ever,
I open apps with the side of my hand on the regular,
I can't hold scissors without them getting all weird and stuck,
I have to remap my keyboard for literally every game I play,
I played guitar hero upside down,
and legend says that one time I picked up a measuring cup and it wasn't facing the metric side
this is my life

My wife is left handed. I should see about getting her some left handed pinking shears on my way home from work.
I do everything with my left hand, save for how I hold a rifle.
Gotta start from the back page of the notebook. Albeit, I realized this rather late in life.

I'm not sure what to call myself. I write and do anything that requires control with my right hand. But everything that requires physicality I use my Left. What am I?
^ you two are cross-dominant like me. Main hand is still dominant, but use other hand for other various tasks, right? Ye look up cross-dominance. Ambidextrous is when you can use both hands for all tasks. So technically not true lefties (or righties, whichever is your cup of tea)
Anyways lefties, We da bess

Fun fact that I didn't notice until recently, John Romero is a lefty and games left too.
LMAOPaper. The nemesis of lefties across the world.
never forget
Thanks. I looked up cross-dominant handed people. Apparently it's an sign of an learning disability
This is exactly me. It's kinda bizarre but I like being left-handed.
I do. Started with right them switched to left. I'm more accurate, but now I have to rebind keys in every single game.
The only thing I don't do left handed as much is shooting (can shoot left as well, but more comfortable with right), because my right eye is much better than my left.
I once ate at a teppanyaki place with a friend and the rest of the people around the grill were strangers. The guy next to me said "hey, as a heads up, I'm left-handed, I don't mean to bump into you." I told him that I was also left-handed, and the guy on the other side of him said "hey, me too!" so everything worked out perfectly.
When I was little, I came up with a decent solution: I would grab an extra sheet of paper and rest my hand very lightly and then that piece of paper would get all of the ink stains. It pays to clean freak. This is also the same kid who ate literally everything with a fork. Yes, that even means hotdogs and pizza.....I promise I don't do that now.Paper. The nemesis of lefties across the world.

Paper. The nemesis of lefties across the world.
Lefty here and damn do I remember this well.
This garbage was made my life hell in college. They did remodel some of the lecture halls during my year so there were lefty seats on the left side, but by then my classes were n smaller classrooms. This was during the 90's but that was still too late to have that at a university.
Happy Lefty day! I do most things lefty, but I throw right handed boomerangs with my left hand. It maximizes my weirdness.
I'm left-handed, but I grew up with literally no one else around me that was left handed. So while I write with my left hand, I do pretty much everything else with my right. Like using scissors. I also still can't tie my shoes tightly enough as no one could teach me well enough. So I always double-knot them. I had velcro shoes up into high school. Fuck, left-handedness aside, I'm 40 and I'd STILL wear velcro shoes if I could find some these days.
