The problem with being left handed

Fed up with right handed stuff?
If like me, you were born left handed and live in a world where everything seems to be tailored towards the majority of people who are right handed, things can be a bit awkward!

It is so frustrating being left-handed in a right-handed world. Given that we make up one in ten of the population you would think we would be accommodated a little better.

| 18-1-2008 | Lefthanders have too much money. They will spend it where they will, too much of it, causing a general inflation for all the rest of us. Only today I went to a restarant for lunch, described as 'fashionable', one which was way out of town 55 miles away, where they charged us £60 for wha...more | I have no trust |

| 10-4-2007 | Hey you lefties! learn to write from back-to-front: begin at the ends of words. It won't smudge then. | dednaH thgiR |
| 10-4-2007 | The thing I hated most about being left-handed, is the smudges whenever I wrote. But recently, I got a new tool called SmudgeGuard. It was posted on the kk.org/cool tools. It got a good review, so I bought one. After I tried it, I was very impressed! I didn't get smudged at all! | Tommy |
