Lefties/Southpaws megathread

[COP2CON]

Probably won't actually be "mega" but why not. This is my 100th post and I wanted it to be special. I did a half assed search and didn't see this so here we go..... General thread to discuss latest lefty news, science and technology, lefty only problems and anything else lefty related. Im COP2CON (C2C for short) I'm a lefty. The world tried to keep us down with right handed scissors and pens who's ink we smear across paper while writing but we shall come together and rise up!

Also specific to my former employment....you know how hard it is to find a left handed level 3 duty holster in stock?
Science and stuff to prove this is a legitimate thread.....

Ayee i'm also left handed. I'm also an artist (tho kinda mediocre) and people often used to equate me being left handed to it but I feel like that takes from the actual skill it takes to learn how to draw. Genuinely still to this day hate using scissors and usually make someone else use them for me haha. I meant to reply to this thread earlier this week and never did, Thank you for the interesting thread!!

Also I could definitely see left handed people being more competitive as true, lol

 

[COP2CON]

Growing up, I was usually the only lefty in my class. Even as an adult, I didn't realize how uncommon it was. I can't draw, my handwriting sucks only when you can read past the smears of ink or pencil because I cannot write with my hand raised, I couldnt even use left handed scissors because I had adapted to using right handed ones with my left hand, and many other things.

Question to the few, did being lefthanded ever help you in life in any way?

Being left handed is kind of a pain unless you are an athlete, like a baseball pitcher. It is sort of an inconvenience, but I've learned to adjust to my environment. When my left handed grandfather was in school, teachers forced him to write right handed. One nice thing that came out of it was that he can use both hands at a high level. I'm glad people do not force people to do everything right handed anymore. Actually the left side was considered sinister for a long time by certain societies. Don't want to be evil now.... Well, maybe half evil. Oh well, being left handed is the least of my problems.
