If I even TRY to use my right to slice a roast or something I cannot do it. I have to slice to serve using my left. But to eat...my right.
Wow...I am weird.
Oh yeah...ironing boards? Used backwards right? I do.

Re: Teeny weeny irritations- Can ya tell I'm bored?
I always wondered why they don't make left handed spiral notebooks. ( My mom's a leftie..... I know the pain. ) I always tried to buy the spiral notebooks with the wire on the top and a good strong solid back. I'm a rightie and my problem was writing on the back side of the paper in regular spiral notebooks. Hope that made sense.RS wrote: ↑4 years agoI’m left handed!

Some kids couldn't and that bothered me. However being left handed and.my husband right handed we tied shoes different.

Needless to say My kids tied their shoes Left handed
LEFTIES UNITE (or is the UNTIE?)
Don’t EVEN get me started on spiral bound notebooks.

I remember there was a Left Handed shoppe in Ports o Call, Long Beach, Ca. They had left handed spiral bound notebooks.Angelflutter wrote: ↑4 years agoI always wondered why they don't make left handed spiral notebooks. ( My mom's a leftie.....

Re: Teeny weeny irritations- Can ya tell I'm bored?
I remember my mean first grade teacher made my lifetime best friend, who was left-handed, write using her right hand! She would punish her by slapping the top of her hand!!!! Can you imagine that happening now? I still get mad remembering it. My friend and I have brought that up in conversations many times. My friend would cry.

That happened to my Grandmother, she was left handed. But as she told it she had it “trained” out of her. Much to her dismay. We never could read her handwriting.OtherSideOfTheTracks wrote: ↑4 years agoI remember my mean first grade teacher made my lifetime best friend, who was left-handed, write using her right hand!

Being left handed my handwriting isn’t very good, but hers wasn’t even legible.

Re: Teeny weeny irritations- Can ya tell I'm bored?
I was always right handed except for tennis where I was ambidextrous. Then when I got run over by a truck (twice) and I was put in a right arm and body cast for six months. Now I can do most things with both hands though I prefer my right. I guess necessity is the mother of options.
