Left-handed people are supposed to be more creative and intelligent than their right-handed counterparts. Fascinating, right?
However, being a leftie is not so easy. Since only 10-12% of the world’s population is left-handed, we are sharing 13 struggles they go through almost every day.
1. When you’re unable to find a lefty scissor.
2. The cup holder for the driver is on the right side.
3. These desks where you have to twist your back and hold up your arm to adjust your position to write properly.
4. The number pad on the keyboard is placed on the right, and it’s too far away for you to reach easily.
5. You face the threat of dying soon as research says that lefties die sooner than righties, and the difference is almost nine years.
6. Writing in a three-ring binder is the most painful task in the world.
7. And same goes for spiral notebooks.
8. You usually have a massive amount of ink smudged on your hand.
9. You spend more than half of your life indulging in these conversations.
10. Whatever you write, especially on the chalkboard, you eventually end up smudging it or smearing it all over your hand.
11. Video game controllers were definitely not designed keeping lefties in mind.
12. When you have to deal with the computer mouse that was actually intended for right-handed people. Such a cruel world!
13. You want to learn to play a musical instrument, but you do not find a lefty tutorial. You already know how screwed up it is going to be if you try learning it from a right-handed person.
