being left-handed can make one feel like they’re more different than average especially when they live in a right-handed world here are ten things only left-handed people will understand before we start show the maloom info some love and hit that subscribe button desc when you look at a desk all you probably see is a flat surface with an armrest but for any lefty that went to school they had to deal with the fact that desks were created for righties that lovely armrest was made for a right arm to lean on and desks in general were made for righties granted there are a few left-handed desks out there but there are usually not enough to go around cups when you think of things like measuring cups and mugs they all come with a nice handle so you don’t have to burn yourself or accidentally drop it measuring cups in the United States have measurements for both the metric and imperial system if you’re a righty holding a measuring cup you’ve seen your typical Imperial measurements but for lefties they see the metric system also if you have a cute mug that has a message at the bottom of the cup lefties will see it upside down notebooks notebooks are commercially made for right-handed people but what could possibly be the inconvenience for lefties indents in their arms from the spiral-bound even if they fold a notebook in half there is still the curse of those wire indents the only way this can be avoided is to turn the notebook upside down which usually doesn’t fly for school bumping hands if you’re sitting someplace in close quarters with a righty like at the dinner table you’re in for quite a ride lefties and righties sitting together will usually bump hands while eating or writing and it’s an annoyance that affects both parties this also includes a lefty sharing a table with a righty at school in those cases teachers and students have to be cautious on where they place their kids on the seating chart playing sports sports equipment like mitts gloves and large sticks were made for right-handed people lefties will often have no special order equipment to suit their lefty means if a player is dependent on equipment provided by the team there aren’t usually enough left handed equipment to provide for all the lefties on a team golf clubs are another issue and there is certain risk of injuries should a righty and Lefty golf next to each other let alone hold their club without hitting someone video games video games are some of the most popula pastimes in the world and if you’re a righty playing against a lefty you’re going to have some advantage while controllers are being made to be more neutral playing on a keyboard and some controllers are geared towards righties it may not seem like much but lefties have stated that they feel as though their coordination is slightly off since controllers are made with the more vital buttons on the right side so that they can be controlled by the dominant hand chains for anyone who goes to the bank or post office and has to use one of those pens they know that they are attached to the counter by a chain for right-handed people this isn’t a major problem besides the chain being a bit too short however for a lefty they are a major inconvenience where they are doomed to sign and address their materials away from the service window backwards clicking while the technology market has gotten better at creating products that serve people of both hands there are still things that are solely catered to right-handed people lefties will often have to switch the size of their mouse and the right-click and left-click buttons do very different things essentially the way that a lefty has to navigate around a computer is a different adventure than what Fridays are used to can openers it may seem crazy to think about but can openers are very friendly to righties and a near-death experience for lefties when trying to use a standard can opener lefties often have to deal with botched cans or even a gash here and there as they try to open up a can of tuna blood definitely doesn’t go well with tuna or being scissors traditional scissors or right-handed scissors are made so that the grip of a righty keeps the blades together and creates a cleaner cut it’s much more than just holding the scissors upside down it’s a completely differen way to make the blades function which isn’t as effective this is likely why the market for left-handed scissors is so successful if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be left-handed now you know if you’re a lefty you tell us your stories in the comments and be sure to give this video a like thanks for watching
