Left-handed? Then you're more likely to be angry

Life holds many frustrations for left-handed people – from the everyday items designed for right-handers to folklore saying they are in league with the devil.

So perhaps it is the result of dealing with such adversity that, according to researchers, they are angrier than the average person.

Researchers found that among lefties, the two hemispheres of the brain communicate more with each other so have more interaction with the parts which produce negative emotions.

In my case, it seemed after elementary school it stopped for me. That would have been around 1978-79.

Describes me fairly well too.

Wow! I hadn’t realized they continued torturing kids all the way into the 70s. :~/

LOL! I am left-handed and when I see another left-handed person writing, I think, “Why are they twisting the paper like that?”

Left-handers are at a disadvantage playing infield positions in baseball, the pivot is wrong trying to throw to first from second, third or shortstop. We’re also disadvanged playing catcher. Since the majority of batters will be right-handed, trying to throw down a steal at second or third could end up with the throw going into the batter’s ear.

It's my left-handed joke! And I can joke about it, as I am a southpaw myself.

What always puzzled me were baseball players who threw left-handed but batted right-handed.

Are you saying lefties need their own stimulus package? ;)

[rabidralph]

LOL! I am gainfully employed, thank you, using a camera with the shutter button on the wrong side and a video camera with the eyepiece and handle on the wrong side as well!
