I labeled everything when I first got my label maker.

I still love any opportunity to use it.

I don't need a label marker... but it would be so fun to have.

3d printer

Bidet

Also any kind of kitchen tool (for me anyway). I was gifted a blender once and started making smoothies within the hour lol.

Yes, and when write with a pen or pencil on paper it’s easier to smear your work as the writing hand is trailing, not leading.

Coffee mugs with logos have in mind which hand you hold them with.

Insulated bottles with handles and sip lids assume righthandedness.

One improvement has been smart watches since the screen can flip over if you switch wrists.

I’m a lefty who made it almost half a century on this earth without realizing I could just go out and buy left handed scissors, so don’t feel too bad.

I don’t want to try and take away your privilege but You can buy scissors that are "hand neutral."

Apparently bread knives are also handed.

I am almost 70 and my GP says I have undiagnosed ADHD and autism. Now I cannot afford to pay for the actual testing to prove it and document it. Ironic, back when it would have been free or cheap I was the “weird kid” and later “uncle nutsy” and there were no diagnoses.

I got diagnosed with severe complex sleep apnea (central and obstructive). I spent a few weeks with a CPAP but not dialed into the correct pressure but after my first night of sleeping with a CPAP in the lab to get the pressure correct I woke up and went to work.

I was confused because I felt odd, it took me 10-15 minutes standing on a forklift trying to figure out what the fuck was happening. I finally realized that I was experiencing what being awake was for the first time in my life at 32. I reintroduced myself to coworkers I had worked with for a few years because I had been in a haze for most of my life.

Gods this was basically what trying gender neutral pronouns was like. Figured I would give them a try, how much difference can they make?

Wow, why does every friendship suddenly feel closer and more real? Huh, I actually can spend time with people and not feel drained? Why is my long-term skin and inflammation problems suddenly and inexplicably clear up?

Oh wait... These health problems can be caused by stress! What else can be caused by stress (reads list)

Oh shit. Yeah that also stopped being a problem... And this one... Wait, I don't have joint problems as much either....

oh shiiiiiiiit

I recently hit my 30's, probably have ADHD, reading this...

...I swear, if I don't kill someone...

Same for me with anxiety. All those years I avoided doing stuff, if only I realised what I felt wasn't normal.

Me going on Indomethicin after getting my hemicrania diagnosis.

Indeed. Rulers are retractable now.

my wife and i are in our 40s. she went to a school where they did that. i did not. she would be left handed. i am left handed. funny that.

There is still much good to be said for ripping.

That might help for the grip, but the blades would still be right handed

Spoken like a true rightey. But no, they still won't work for left-handers.

Growing up I always had the green left handed ones for elementary, not even sure I've noticed in 30+ years besides when the Xmas wrapping paper was on awkward side that I'm now just used to using right handed ones. Some issues with wrapping this recent season ....

I always played some sports different handed though was never good at either side so didn't seem to make much of a difference but say golf clubs feel way better right handed, baseball I can never remember which one I want to throw with.

The same way I use a computer mouse, suboptimally with my off hand, but it was the only option when I was learning as a child and now I'm stuck because it works well enough. I think most lefties have decent capability with their right hand because it's occasionally unavoidable to use it for something.

as a right handed how the fuck do you cut stuff, it was the crappiest cut ever

That is how us lefties feel using right-handed scissors.

You have to uncomfortably hold it and push the top blade with your thumb intentionally so the blades stay together properly. That or you just have to use the other hand if the scissors are to loose, its a pain in the ass lol

Same here, ambidexterity power! Though I'm regularly told "You're not so much left-handed, it's more like you have 2 left hands…"

Left-Handedness is a spectrum, from people who can only use their left hand.for everything, to people who only do a few things left-handed, but are naturally right handed for everything else. Then there are people like you, who can do some things lefty, some right, and some ambidextrous.

I am fully right-handed, except that I write with my left hand. I can't do anything else left-handed. I throw, swing a bat, play musical instruments, etc. all right handed. Yet, people see me writing, and say I'm left-handed. Even my mother, who should understand that I'm not really left-handed, tells people I'm a Lefty.

I'm right-handed. I just write left-handed, for some unfathomable reason. That does not make me left-handed.

Thanks to everyone who responded to this comment when it had all that poor formatting, I have subsequently gone back and fixed it
