Left handed notepads

I used to get smacked and told off in nursery for holding my fork in my left hand.

Generally for notebooks I rotate them 90 degrees clockwise so the binder edge is at the top, then write from top to bottom, can't remember when I started doing this but made things a lot easier.

Haha, cheers people, but the dividers is a real need too. But I'll have a search on that site.

Just find a normal one with dividers and flip it so back the front, if you want a margin, ruler and pen.

Or why not get something like a ring binder, then you can add dividers and sheets of paper where ever you need.

Well I don't know about beating you but they did used to strap your left arm to your side to force you to use your right hand thereby switching you over.

When was in school I had a teacher that used to mark me down on my writing because my slants were all wrong according to him. Luckily most other teachers understood I was left handed so my writing would tend to lean the other way.

It also got me out of doing Calligraphy in school because my hand would drag across what I had just written and more often than not smudge it.
 
My wife's a lefty. Her right her is utterly useless as well, she's well clumsy with it. The amount of stuff she can't use properly with her left hand is crazy. We get through lode of tin openers because she's forever breaking them.

You may know this, but the Greek word for 'right' is dextera, from which we get the word 'dexterous' and the Greek word for 'left' is sinistra which shares a root with the word 'sinister'.

yup tin openers and scissors are the worst

Tin openers because the twist you have to do it just backwards and awkward to us lefties

scissors because the grips are angled the wrong way and if you are cutting something stiff it can actually hurt.
 
I had a gay friend who once told me that virtually every gay porn movie he watches, the men are mostly left handed.
I asked another gay mate and he confirmed that all his partners had been left handed but he wasn't.

Don't know what that has got to do with notebooks though.

Quote from another site:

Myth -The term 'sinistrality' used to refer to left-handed people indicates demonic traits.

Fact- This is the most ridiculous myth circulating the planet. In fact, the word 'sinistrality' is derived from the Latin word 'sinestra' which means 'left-handedness'. In the ancient Mesopotamian language, the term 'sinestra' was used to denote 'power'.

List of stats make me cry. So faked.

Left handers make good tennis players but almost 40% of top tennis players are left handed, wtf. How does that compute. There's only 3 choices and very few people are ambidextrous.

Yes but there are way less left handed people than right so Statistically left handed people are more likely to be top ranked tennis players than right handed. a 10% populous (if you take the bigger number) taking a 40% share
 
I wonder how much extra industry makes out of left handed people purchasing items for left handers, I bet they add a bit to the price despite it probably costing no more to produce.
