What an awesome site to have discovered. I had my left hand tied with a ribbon to my chair in my first year at primary school. My father, being a “Molly Dooker”, as is lovingly known by righties in Australia, soon straightened that out. In my family, 3 out of 6 are lefties and proud. What percentage of the world are left dominated?, I love this site. I can’t wait to fill my kitchen with my left user friendly eqipment and watch them “look awkward”. I hated having to remove the paper from my lever arch folder at school, what a real pain in the neck that was, I used to turn the folder around and write towards the arch. My teachers weren’t very happy about it but they never understood unless they were left handed too.

well, I have difficulty with my cash register at work.. I work at Macy’s and the alpha pads are on the right and I have to cross over keyboard with my left hand to enter hundreds of numbers every day. Also, the slot for scanning the barcodes of charge cards runs from right to left and the scanning gun is in the way when I scan it left to right. The locks on the bathroom stall doors go from right to left…Most toilet paper rolls are placed on the right of the seat….I drive as well going in reverse as I do driving forwards…I can write words from right to left almost perfectly….(mirror image)….the dishwasher in my home is on the right of the sink…..difficult to load….calculators geared for rightys. I have adapted to certain tasks merely because right handed people trained me, Examples are ironing, I golf right handed, I hit a ball with my right hand and I use scissors with my right hand. I love this site..OHHH…and one last thing….I got horrible grades in shorthand in high school because the symbols flowed right to left and I smeared my ink and when I made each word it felt jerky and uncomfortable….
