I did my final paper in my intermediate writing class on being left-handed, and my teacher thought it pretty interesting. I am also made fun of in my family, especially from my dad, but that's ok (I won't cry ).
So fellow lefties, any stories you'd like to share about your uniqueness?
I never knew there was a Left-Handers Day, I am southpaw . I am the only person in my family for at least 3 or 4 generations that is left handed they swear I was not adopted but who knows .
Interesting stories.... Well Once a few years back I started a fight with a manager of a store because the mug they where selling was for right handed people. When holding it in your left hand the drinking hole was on the opposite side. I remember in class I would also try and get an end seat so my hand would stop hitting against the person next to me (unless it was a sexy female sitting there).

I get it from my father side of the family. About 1/4 of the people on his side are left handed. No one on my mother's side is.
Edit.
That article was interesting. If they think scissors are a pain they should try other surgical instruments like hemostats and retractors. The ratchets on them are one way and left handed versions are not manufactured.
As for fencing (epee and foil), I never seemed to have much of an advantage, though I was never any good at it.

You see, I never thought about mugs being for left or right handed people. Even though I can use both hands equally (yes, that includes writing) I prefer drinking with my left.

Me too! Let us ambi's celebrate with the southpaws! I consider myself left-handed though since I prefer to write with that hand...but I'm ambi with everything else. I'm a weirdo.

At my work, we use ice cream scoops to portion our meat. I get so frustrated because I can't use my thumb to hit the lever - I have to use my index finger, so my wrist is positioned very uncomfortably. Also our fry scoop has a handle on the right side, so once again, I have to conform to this right-hander's world...
EoP = a fight over a mug??? LMAO! At college, I scan my classrooms to see if there is a left-handed desk. Sometimes I am fortunate to find one, but I mostly have to sit in a lonely corner so that I don't elbow someone.

I shoot left handed. (I'm left eye dominant.)
When I'm next to the right handed people they have to have a special thing on the gun to keep the shells from hitting me in the face. However, no one figures this out Before we start shooting.
No fun stories though.
But at this job, and at my last one, people all complained and got frustrated whenever I moved the mouse to the left side of the keyboard.
Geeks.
It's MY desk! But so many people complained, I keep it on the right now.
