Left-handed people of Reddit, what are some annoying things designed for right-handed people?
- Whenever there is a pen chained to the counter (like at a bank or store) it's always attached on the right side. So leftys always have the chain draped across the thing you're writing on.

- Used to be annoyed that most mice were right handed... until I tried using a mouse with my left hand. The most awkward minute and a half of my life.

- Scissors and a can opener. I finally broke down one day and bought nice left handed scissors. Started using them the wrong way at first because I was so used to using right handed ones

- Spontaneous games of baseball. If I am at a family gathering and someone suggests we go toss a ball around, I dont usually get to participate because nobody has an extra left handed glove.

- Writing things like birthday cards SUCK. Your hand just completely smudges the ink EVERYWHERE.
Oh and writing with fancy fountain pens. Smudges galore.
