Anything that isn't symmetrical. Mice and keyboards. Circular saws. Tape measures. Box cutters. Folding knives. Garden tools. Those are just ones that impacted me recently.
Some have lefty versions but there is less selection. I recently found a left-handed weeding sickle and it is the best thing. Most of them are just annoying. I can do most things with right hand but then have to switch hands instead of the natural motion. But there are a few that are dangerous.
- kevin_thibedeau 3mo agoMeasuring cups are a peeve of mine. They almost always have the handle on the right for US customary units. I had hopes of finding one biased for righty metric / lefty US in Canada but they haven't fully committed to the change yet.
- voidUpdate 3mo agoI've learnt to mouse and keyboard the right handed way because it would just be too much hassle to switch over every setup I'm presented with. It does make me atrocious at drawing with a mouse though
- ianburrell 3mo agoSame here. I realized that will never be good at precise games.
- tetrisgm 3mo agoThe one that cracked me up when I realized: door knobs. The positioning, orientation, and how you relate to the door. Completely inverted
- queenkjuul 3mo agoIm having a hard time figuring out what makes a keyboard right-handed? The number pad?
- ianburrell 3mo agoMore used keys like enter, backspace, arrow keys, and number pad are under the dominant hand. It isn't a big deal since most people are ambidextrous with keyboards. But there are left-handed keyboards. The other annoyance is that default mappings for games are for left hand, right mouse. Either have to remap everything or play right-handed like I do.
