24 Struggles All Left Handed People Go Through Every Day

Being born left handed is not something you can do a great deal about. It may not seem like such a big deal to a right handed person but believe me, being a “leftie” really does come with a lot of struggles. There are also not many positives other than telling people its a sign of genius.

What follows are our top 24 struggles all lefties have to content with.

1. Your friends all have right handed guitars

2. Being so much smarter than righties

3. Having to use a spiral pad upside down

4. These are always on the wrong side to sign your name

5. Credit card swipes are on the wrong side

6. Your thumb always covers the number on playing cards

7. Walking into class to a sea of these

Eventually finding one of only 2 of these

8. Video games are a nightmare

9. Tapes come out of the wrong end

10. Writing in a binder is just a pipe dream

11. The constant can struggle

12. Either having to contend with this

or wearing one of these

13. Decals are always upside down on pens

14. Mugs don’t give a crap about you

And even when they do, nobody else can read the message on them.

  

15. Then end of pens unscrewing as you write with them

16. Bumping elbows with righties in class your whole childhood

17. Getting really excited when you see a fellow leftie celebrity

  

18. Getting even more excited when you see a left handed cartoon character

19. Crosswords end up a mess on the paper and your hand

20. Listening to bull crap theories about left handed people

 

21. Even ball point pens don’t work properly

  

22. Having to wear the crappy old baseball mitt in games

23. Even ice cream scoops are an enemy

 

24. And these are just a modern day torture device
