If you're a lefty, a southpaw, or not of the right-handed breed, you know that the world wasn't exactly built for you. A lot of our mugs, notebooks, gloves, scissors, and desks are made for people who primarily use their right hand to do stuff.
Keep reading to see some of the struggles that we left-handed people face on a daily basis. Do you have any idea how hard it is to open a can with your non-dominant hand?
The Silver Surfer
If you're left-handed, you know that the English language wasn't built for you.
Writing a language that goes from left to right means that you're always running your hand over your own writing.
No Emojis For You
Apple did a good job making sure that all of their emojis were racially diverse, but they failed to include left-handed representation.
Those are all right-handed and it isn't fair.
These Desks Are The Worst
If you're left-handed, you know how awful it is to walk into a classroom and see a room full of these desks.
Sometimes there isn't one left-handed desk in the whole building.
Blatant Discrimination
Why are the left-handed scissors more expensive than the right-handed scissors?
I don't think that's fair at all. It takes the same amount of material and effort to make both pairs.
Upside Down
Left-handed people never get to see their mugs the way that mugs were meant to be seen.
That's why they get so excited when they see a mug that was meant for them.
A Three-Ring Binder
I dare you to try writing in a three-ring binder as a lefty. It's pretty much impossible.
Those rings keep jabbing into your wrist. The same thing happens with coiled notebooks.
Ice Cream Scoops
This person learned the hard way that scooping ice cream isn't so easy when you're left-handed.
They really should make left-handed ice cream scoops, as one man did for his girlfriend in the picture above!
Quick-Drying Pens
It appears that this pen company is actually looking out for left-handed people.
We can't change the way the English language works, but we can make fast-drying ink so words don't get smudged.
The Problem With Scissors
Left-handed people know the struggle of using scissors.
It seems like unless you buy specific left-handed scissors, you're not going to find a pair that really works nicely for you.
The Dreaded Can Opener
I don't know who invented can openers, but whoever it was had a serious vendetta against left-handed people.
I don't know how they expect lefties to operate can openers with their non-dominant hand.
Where Is This Mug From?
This souvenir mug has the name of a place on it, but we will never know what that place is because we can't see it.
This is what it's like to be a lefty.
A Strange Survey
How can you be 15% of the 10% of the population who are left-handed?
Also, I feel like half the people claiming to be ambidextrous aren't actually ambidextrous at all.
Thanks, Science
I'm not sure what this billboard is trying to advertise.
I just know that it's not a very nice message for left-handed people to see as they casually walk by.
A Thicker Hand
This lefty uses his left hand so often that his left glove is noticeably tighter than his right glove.
Maybe the gloves are different sizes or something because this is just unreal.
How Is She Supposed To Drink?
This mug isn't just prettier if you're right-handed, it's also way more functional if you're right-handed.
If you're left-handed, well, you're going to get a mouth full of unicorn horn.
Arm Erase Time
Being a lefty means that you have to erase all of the marks that accumulate on your arm after you do any kind of writing or drawing project.
It's just how life goes.
