Being left-handed in this world is a struggle, the realness of which escapes the ambidextrous and right-handed in our midst (aren't you lucky). There are all sorts of "statistics" that claim that lefties don't live as long and have more accidents than right-handed people. It's difficult to determine how much actualscience is behind these claims but when you consider a day in the life of a lefty, they start to gain merit. These are the problems 10% of the world's population conquer on the regular. Recognize and sympathize, people!
1. Spiral Notebooks Are A Troubling Pastime
Have you ever tried to write in a car traveling over potholes? That's what it's like for lefties to write in a spiral notebook, so most of us just flip the book over. Well, this is also no solution because now the red line is on the wrong side of the paper and so are the holes. There are no winners in a right-only world.
2. If A Lefty's Frustration Liked It, It Would Put A Binder Ring On It
Damn these things to hell, man. Every time you need to take a note, you have to pop that loud-ass binder ring so everybody stares--urgh.
3. "Pick A Desk", They Said. "It Will Be Fun", They Said.
The higher you climb the academic ladder, the smaller the desks. For what you're paying to be in class, everyone should have a corner office with a view. However, in the real world, you get a slab of wood...to your friggin' right. Yes, somewhere, between three faculties, you may find a lefty desk which involves a member of the janitorial staff finding it and bringing it down while you stand in the lecture hall like a dum-dum.
4. Like Paying Student Loans Isn't Hard Enough
Banks are full of these and they mock people who live with a dominant left hand. Why, banks, why? Does pen theft really eat so much into your bottom line that you need them on a chain? My monthly service fees should cover that, thank you.
