Being a lefty in a Righty World

On the flip side, given that the left half of the brain controls the right side of one's body and the brain's right half controls the left half of the body, that means only lefties are in their right mind.

 

LOL! we may die sooner but at least we are in our right mind. I like it!

 

Yep, yep yep!!!

Having your left hand taped shut in 5th grade to make you write right handed because left handed kids were mentally "deficient". Never mind dyslexic was never diagnosed in the early 60's
Sending you to motor skills classes with the "retarded kids" to help your mind adapt and get "right"

Then in 6th grade taking an IQ test for the first time and scoring 175

Scissors, buttons, zippers guns

Shot left handed pistols/rifles. Nothing better than hot brass and unburnt powder flying past your face.

Throw, golf, bat right handed cuz there were no left handed bats or golf clubs

But on the plus side the "right mind" comments is really a plus as it connects the motor skills side with the creative side enhancing my creative skills like engineering and photography.

 

Not brought up Catholic. But, I was sent to a Catholic school from 2nd through 7th grades. They treated me like dirt. Forced me to use my right hand. This was in the 70's. Until this day, it does something to me to see nuns wearing habits.

 

I shoot a rifle left handed. My Dad bought me this heavy Sheridan pellet gun and didn't tell me that I wasn't supposed to support the weight of the rifle with my stronger right arm, pull the trigger with your weak hand. I think you are all doing it wrong.

Rancher

 

you forgot that all brooms unscrew when you are left handed ... ugh!

 

Oh my gosh, is that why??? For years I have been griping about the broom unscrewing. I have had many rants about inferior quality but all the time it was me. I am embarrassed to say how many brooms I have bought because the one we had was a POS.

 

My son, like I, learned to be ambidextrous ,
using both sides of the brain. great advantages .

 

lol ..... you take a drill with a small bit 1/16 or so after you screw the handle into the broom head, then drill a hole into the handle tip thru the side of the broom head. put a screw in to secure the 2. problem forever solved. don't forget to take screw out before trying to remove broom head on purpose.

 

I fixed the Wife's handles with Screws, Now they don't back out!

 

Nope. I hang mine woth the left hand buttons facing right.

 

Bingo! That is exactly how my closet is.

 

Right hander here...I hang them facing left because they are easier to see as I scroll through with my right hand...

 

Actually mine sounds a lot like yours. Pointed left, left to right is coats, jackets, hoodies, pants, polos, printed/color tees, long sleeved tees, short sleeve dress shirts and long sleeve dress shirts (I don't wear sweaters). My arrangement since the closet became mine only a couple years ago...and I am right handed.

 

They're just not right...
