Left-handers

3 Conversations

Around ten percent of the population are left-handed. I am left handed. So is Douglas Adams. The world is right-handed. Right-handed people are oblivious to the fact that many, or even nearly all things are bias towards right handed use. For example. The door. That's a basic one to start with. Most doors are designed to open with the right hand pulling to the right. Keyboards. Most have the number panel on the right. So it's totally unusable by a leftie. Is it optional when you buy a computer? No. Kettles. Irons. Cooker hobs. English writing. pull to the right. Much harder to push the pen and it smudges the ink. so Kack-handed ones. Give me some more!
