RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 07/11/18> Have I mentioned I have a disease…. I am left handed.
Oh dear, I have the same disease but not a 29'er!
So I have all the same complaints about this right handed world, only plus is with driving, we sit on the right hand side but drive on the left hand side. My biggest moan is those big registers one has to sign! Taps also are designed for righties with cold water on the right hand side, my hand still automatically reaches for the hot water tap! Before computers when drafting was done by hand, I could not use the more advanced stencils think it was called a scriber so had to use the antiquated stencils. Weird though, I use my right hand for the pc mouse and eat right handed with a knife and fork, but left handed for dessert so I also have to sit on the far side of the table! Maybe all this does shorten our life if the stats are right but I also believe it makes us a little stronger and more adaptable?
I have a slight advantage as well since my older brothers are right handed. They taught me how to play sports right handed and when they weren't around I would also play left handed.
So I can do a lot of stuff right handed almost as well as left handed. Even though I am naturally left hand I have never swung a golf club left handed , since the golf clubs are specific for left or right and we never had any left handed clubs.
Even a lot of cooking utensils are designed for right handed folks so I'm sure you get frustrated as well in the kitchen when having to use those.
