I've also experienced every one of these. And, as someone who loves to cook, I can add this incredibly annoying lefty-thwarting everyday device: measuring cups. Ever try to, say, determine the amount of liquid in a measuring cup while holding it in your left hand? Good luck with that! Drives me crazy. Years ago, there used to be a store in SF at Ghiradelli Square that only sold lefty-serving items (like measuring cups!). I went there when I was 19 and it blew my mind. That's the first time I realized how often I had to accomodate in my everyday life. And yes, oh, the misery of scissors... Laughed out loud at this list. I’ve also experienced every one of these.

You don't need to buy a left handed guitar. Herman Li is the DragonForce guitarist and he is a very fast guitarist and he is the fastest guitarist i think i've ever seen.

It makes it worse than the mouse controlled first person shooters where the character holds the gun in his right hand because now you are controlling the gun with your hand and not the mouse. This has always taken some of the immersion out of games but now with the wii it just ruins it. Link even swings with his right hand now! Im not buying the wii till they patch these games or something where i can play with my right hand and not have it look so freakn awkward.I hate this world and want everyone to diaf. Im tired of everyone discriminating against minorities. Try playing a right handed game on the wii.

It was very frustrating as a kid, i had to learn how to adapt. I am left handed and had to teach myself how to use right handed scissors because almost no one owns a pair of left handed scissors.

I've come to realize that playing the guitar right or left-handed is a challenge for me, unless it is Guitar Hero on the PS3 as I can rock that. :) Thanks for stopping by and sharing a comment!

I always get smudges on my hand whenever I write; it's frustrating. It also sucks when you go into a guitar store to buy a guitar. Out of the hundreds of guitars the store has, you can only find about two or three lefty ones. All of the nice ones are "regular" righties. Writing and playing the guitar is a problem for me.
