I agree. As a lefty, I’ve spent my life trying to get those damned scissors to work. It’s enough to drive you crazy.

(And the cuffs of my shirts used to have ink stains because I dragged them across the writing instead of in front of it.)

Many of us here have known and feel your pain. You don't have to suffer alone.

Ha! I remember in high school, when erasable-ink pens came out. I couldn't use them, because I'd end up with the entire outside of my left hand covered in ink, and the writing on the page smeared almost beyond recognition. Another thing in school - all of the chair/desk combos had the arm support on the right side, so my left arm was hanging off the desk whenever I tried to write.

As a Lefty, I love baseball, started playing little league when I was maybe 5-6 years old, we were discriminated against from the first day, as a lefty we were told we could not play certain positions, like 3rd base, short stop, 2nd base, catcher, etc...

Even seen a catcher’s mitt designed for a lefty ?? They do exist, but it’s like extremely difficult to find them.
