actually george w bush was a righty, and it’s funny because lefties are supposed to have a weaker speach cortex.

Pune (pronounced poo’ ne) used to be called Poona and was an old hangout for westerners seeking the Eastern vibe.
Clever! Haha.
yay left handed people =]
any ambidextrous out there??
the true is the in some of those cultures the lef hand is for wipe their ass
im almost fully ambidextrous, only have trouble with scissors and throwing, but everythign else is pretty ok including writing
moral of the story: Life is tough if your left handed… and retarded (apparentely every left handed person in this video is retarded and has trouble… turning a watch??? put it on your right wrist if your left handed idiot.)
why do things with both hands sloppily, when you can do it perfectly with one hand?
Everyone knows that left handed people are the devil.
I’m left handed and I can handle almost all right handed tasks just fine. This is fucking retarded.
I AM TOO!
0:41 Pacman *chomp chomp chomp*
funny you should say that :) that’s exactly what I’ve been trying to do.
SINISTER
i thought lefties were smarter(Isaac Newton, Benjamin Franklin, Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso, for starters. Not to mention every U.S. president since 1981), so they are suppressing the future geniuses.??which could get their economy up without knowing
No, as the pie chart clearly indicates.
These left handed people ARE evil. Unable to do simple things with their right hand. They may as well chop it off. They can send a rocket into space, but can’t scratch their own balls if they’re a lefty?
But so long as they call me continuously to sell me stuff, screw them.
I imagine left handed people also can’t type with both hands as well. They need to make left handed only keyboards.
I’m guessing you don’t know american history too well?
Have you seen WWE? most of the top wrestlers are left handed.
anyways… okay… umm lefties kinda don’t overdo the left hand, they balance between the left and right. If the whole time the left is used, the right hand is not gonna have any strength at all.
Lefty or not, you still gotta be proud of who you are.
That is why I am ambidextrous.
lol
lolololol
wow, wonder what they think of gays?
Its not superstition against left-handers, it’s called DISCRIMINATION.
Simpson’s episode…
All jokes aside this shit is serious. My father was beaten as a child for being a lefty… Hard. He had to learn to fucks with his right one.
I was born a lefty, but I was raised as a righty which is why my hand writing is crap. I seriously can’t write something the same way even my own name that I’ve probably written over a million time each time is different, they look similar but its different.
HOLY SHIT LOL at the eating part.
“mmmm food”
*FIRE*
“OH MY FUCKING GOD FIRE!!!”
Yea, I’m left handed, but my dad grew up in Vietnam left handed, but was forced into using the right, so now he’s right handed
Hey everybody! I’m looking at GAY PORNO!
Meesa a Left hander + my dad’s from India.
I’m part of that 20%.
I was expecting this to be funny but it’s deathly serious this time. Who knew Rocketboom had it in them.
woot! go lefties!
Some places are well messed up…
Hey! 0:40, guest appearance from PacMac!
lefties rules!!!
lets create leftopia!
my whole family is left handed and tried to force me to be left handed as well… so I understand what it’s like to be forced to use something you’re not wired for.
FIGHT THE POWER!!
superstition strikes again.
you have 2 be F’ed up left topia simpsons
An old drill command for Elizabethan militia men was, “Turn about by the sinister,” for turn to the left. Many of the taboos about being left handed have been addressed in Europe and America. Still most things are set up for right hand use. Hand drills are still geared for the right hand here too. As a left handed person who was forced to write with their right hand I say adapt improvise and overcome. The Association of Lefthanders seem to take the issue way too far. Bad as an infomercial.
the problem is that you can’t make a GOOD device that will be easy to use for both
take the mouse for example the right handed mouse is much better and easier to use then the both handed mouse
i got a 9 btn right handed mouse which is perfectly designed for the right hand
in order to please lefties you will have to make 2 types of each product
i know some people that were lefties and are now righties you should do it too
I don’t understand why it is so difficult to use the other hand.
I’ve been a lefty since I learned how to write, but always did everything else righty instinctively. It’s in your DNA I assume, & when you’re wired a certain way to do certain things, it’s really hard to change that.
I’m left-handed, but I use my mosue with my right hand :0
Can you use your left had to write and do normal every day tasks you would use your right hand for? Do you not find it difficult to use your left hand? It is the same for a left handed person when they try and use their right hand, almost impossible. Unless you are one of the very rare people who are ambidextrous…
I’m a lefty!! Bow before your left handed overlords!
Everyone is born right handed, only the best overcome it
What I was told about India was that they consider the left hand to be impure because they expect people to clean themselves with their left hand after defecating. This expectation may tend to be true in the case of right-handed people, but I’m a lefty and the opposite is true in my case.
First
That does it. Aced out again by YouTubers. From now on I’m claiming “first” for every episode regardless….
I am not one an ambidexter, but when i was fourteen i went paranoid about loosing my right arm, so i started using the left hand as much as the right hand. I also learned how to walk blind ’cause i used to think i would become blind. It is just about adapting, something people are good at.
Only in India man…LMAO…..
such fussy, morons…..XD
It’s depressing to see just how eager humans are to use any excuse to divide and discriminate.
We’re a failing species.
rocketboom is amazing; this is an issue that clearly needs to be addressed. :)
My sis was left handed until about 10 years of age, her school did not allow her to write with her left hand and kinda forced her to write with her right hand, so now she does
Religion! Fuck yeah!
I’m left handed and I live in Finland so I haven’t had any problems…
I’m a lefty! Keep up the good work!
left handed people are artists.
lol obviously, i could see it in her eyes. VIVA LA LEFTIES!
that sucks D:
April 1st?
I’ll try using my left hand then, Molly.
lol india sucks
0:43 Soooo ……Pacman is 80% right that he is going to eat a slice of pizza, 20 % of which is left?
Feels good man 8)
It seems to me that religious and cultural pressures on one side and the need to redesign and manufacture all the tools that have an asymmetry in the manual use on the other are two different problems. The latter is mainly an economic problem, the former… well, you know what kind of problem is that… Another lesson on how religion and supestition are serving us.
It’s fair to wonder, anyway, if there is a bit of overstatement on the difficulties to use a tool designed for people who are handed the other way than yours. The function shaping the organ’s ability is a well-known biological reality. Probably the cases of real impediment are just a few, and it makes the problem somewhat resolvable.
I don’t think the majority on this board know about the “former”. According to the Koran and Mohammed the left hand is primarily used for cleaning yourself, especially for cleaning the private parts after using the toilet. “What’s that? Cleaning the private parts using your hand? That sounds horrible, what’s wrong with toilet paper?” Shut up and obey the teachings or we cut off your hand.
Well, since I’m only a cartoon character, I never go to the bathroom. I gotta hand it to Walt. My creator.
Yeah, amazing.
Anyway the top of religious stupidity for the time being is in Canada, where christian nuts are talking rubbish on the vaccination program against the H1N1 virus of swuine flu.
I know you are from Canada. Did you get the rumours?
By the way…
I highly reccomend this article
http://www.nycskeptics.org/blog/?p=1078
It is by a NYC based group, and RB might consider to cover the issue.
Ya well we know where you live Dr. Leonardo and no, we’re not building a Disney World near you.
Anyone with sanity will listen to this:

We left handed are discriminated everywhere. Look at books, they are created for right people. You know how awkward it feels!?!? Writing in one and stuff. etc
STAND UP FOR LEFT HANDS! FOR WE ARE THE SUPERIOR KIND!
Im left handed
wow I never realised the left handed taboo was so extreme! They’re actually tying their hand behind their backs!!
Great comment at the end. I’m a lefty :)
LOL 2:35 !
I’m a proud lefty but sometimes it’s just inconvenient - all tools are made for right-handed and you’re kinda erasing what you write when you write with the left hand
=] proud to be a lefty, and support all other lefty’s where ever they may reside in this world
I’m left handed. Glad it’s not taboo in the USA. It is inconvenient at times, though.
this is stupid, now people are fighting about hands?? why not fight about having a dick
HA! Losers. I’m talking to both you right handed and left handed fools. It feels good to be ambidextrous. :) You single handed people are way behind in the evolutionary tree. Hahaha! :P
LOL
Thank God us lefties can read manga easily.I had to explain to my right handed friend how to read manga properly.
HOORAY FOR LEFT HANDS BEING ABLE TO READ MANGA PROPERLY!!!!!
i know right
for lefties are the superior kind
*cough*Feminists*cough*
im left handed. my dad’s ambidextrous as my grandma used to beat him every time he used his left hand, so he kinda evolved lol.
btw 0:24 who the hell “stays hungry” just because he cant eat with his left hand ? >_>
talk about retarded…
im kinda bi-handed LOL i do some things with my right hand, and some with my left…is that normal?
left handed scum
naaaah
hey i’m just joking
but seriously
how fucking retarded can you be so that you discriminate somebody for using the left hand?
There is such a thing as being ambidextrous, yes, but it is possible you have just trained yourself to do certain activities with your off-hand.
How do your hands affect how you read manga? Isn’t it your eyes that need to make the adjustments?
You can’t call it a superstition if it a belief of a whole ppl. Its the same as saying not going to church is bad. While I do hope that things work out for left handed ppl. Not being able to feed yourself or get a job is horrible but when we look at this we cant go oh thats stupid!
Don’t know if its normal. But I do it to. Use both hands Bi-Handed.
grater, grinder
It’s rare but normal
I think Pune is pronounced Poo-Nay
Just saying ;)
Superior my ass. We righties have outnumbered you by far :p
The right handers look like pac man! :O
So you are proud about a random feature that was given to you by birth? And here I was thinking pride should be reserved for achievements!
haha suck my dick left handed
Obama’s a lefty. So am I. :)
I’m glad my parents came to Hong Kong where no one gives a crap about which hand you use, unlike Japan. :(
Dumb people outnumbered the smart people too, but still smart people are superior. Same for right and left people.
Then teach me.
I’m the same as LeeroyFan101
It’s genetic dammit. The gene for left handedness is simply recessive to the dominant gene for right handedness. So technically 25% should be lefties. It’s just like brown eyes are dominant to blue eyes.
Left-handed right here. Superior, I guess :)
Rather right than wrong handed.
HA HA!
The main guy is left handed… his watch is on his right hand. Its funny how such a simple thing can be looked down on so much, just because of superstition. Man is the only creature that will cut his nose off in spite of his own face.
growing a third arm would come in handy.
Yes…I guess what I’m trying to say is that there’s nothing wrong with being left handed. I’m not ashamed, and I like being left handed. I’m also Asian, and proud to be that, however I can’t help being Asian…Is that “wrong” too? I understand what you’re saying, but I was just writing a comment…
Lefties are generally more artistic and righties are generally more academic. no-one’s better because of something they were born with.
People are retarded.
obamas also a idiot, you kinda forgot that part :)
yea that bullshit i am left handed sucks for those kids in country is it banned :/
I get confused about left handed scissors, I am right handed and when using left handed ones i saw not difference.
And I think you guys are being silly about bottle opening, its not that complicated. Im sure you could use your right hand for turning a lid. Do you expect use to make special bottles?
I do think its outrageous that people with that are left-handies are discriminated that way in some countries but in the instances of bottle opening ect. you seems to be fishing for sympathy.
Being left-handed a taboo? That’s ridiculous! My late grandmother was left-handed and I didn’t mind that at all since the majority of my family’s right-handed.
Yeah! Up the lefties! You can take away my pedestal drill but you’ll never take away my need to use my left hand.
Or something.
We LEFT the right handed suckers behind, we RULE! :-P
Humanwire is a truely great segment -
once again informing and awareness rising.
Thanks a lot, Rocketboom.
im left handed.
he’s messing it up for all left handed people of the world.
This just reminded me. My friend in art class needed my help cutting some bandage for the project because she was a lefty. I didn’t think it was a big deal. I feel more educated now after watching this.
I know 3 left handers and I wonder what it would be like :)
I’m left handed D:
wow that’s so crazy!
i’m thankful america does not have this taboo.
i’d be screwed; my right hand is utterly useless.
right handed people have the …. UPPER HAND
all joking aside, they should make things more ambidextrous, to eliminate the bias of left or right handed.
(this is coming from a right hander, just to let you know)
my aunt was left handed till the nuns beat it out of her, sigh
This is a good reason why i follow nor believe in any religion. :\
Fuck, I’m left-handed.. I better not goto india -.-
Man, humans are some stupid fucking creatures. It’s two thousand fucking nine and these idiot superstitions persist.
There are more smart left handers in the world than right handers, per capita…that being said, if the dumbass indians cant adapt slightly (like seriously…doing up a button!?!?! wtf!) then I am ashamed to be left…
ship all left handers to australia
Ok all you jerkoffs that voted me down explain @ 1:50, how a water bottle is a righthanded task.
Computer mouse manufacturers discriminate against Right-Handed people!
Righties are forced to use their LEFT hand to manipulate thier weenies when using the internet for it’s most poplular purpose….
There are those who tie the Internet to blindness. Well… it’s not too far-fetched.
because bottles and other screw-type lids unscrew to the right, making it harder to grip and open with the left hand
you can turn the cap of a battle only in one way you idiot
while maybe we should make left handed Nuts and Bolts and Socket wrenches since we are at it right?
ROFL @ religious ritual fail.
Dont effing worship a piece of clay if you cant do it with your right hand and the piece of clay demands that you do it with your right hand.
What failure.
You’re not helping the rep of the “smart” left handers.
wtf, im right handed and you can do all of these things with your left hand just as easily. the “left handers” are just bitter :P
Is this a joke?
fuck I’m left handed they still have quite of few products her they make left handed, but i learned how to use a mouse right handed thats it.
Damn we better not ship Billy Ray Cyrus to India
just like america
the left is retarded
Link form the Zelda series was left handed.
No. Smart people are just smarter. Not superior.
Or to say it in SOAD’s way:
“Stupid people do stupid things
Smart people outsmart each other
Then themselves! Then themselves!”
a tip: the contrast of the video can be adjusted. would look much better
I am not arguing against a healthy self-confidence. One shouldn’t feel inferior due to aspects you cannot change about yourself. But in the same way born-with capacities are nothing to derive pride from.
so it IS pronounced ayh-zia! why cant they jsut use there right hand? is there even a physical diffrence?
80% PacMan … high 5!
i lold
Oh man, that SUCKS. D:> I’m useless with my right hand, too…I had no idea people were still so picky about this. Wow.
I have two relatives left handed. Without prejudice, it is a trait that alters many many aspects of life into doing something different. ever read backwards leaning cursive? how bout that left handed hammer swinger, there’s a few angles to keep that guy busy..Let the trait prove the superstition. I myself ended up ambi- dextrous. I wonder what group they have for that one.
whoa whoa whoa….WATCH IT….that can be classified as HANDISM: originating from the greek word hand, it is the belief that one who uses their right hand will be superior to their left handed counter-parts.
Haha, I’m lefthanded! :D
And believe me, there are worse things. But then again, I live in Belgium, Europe…
Must be hell for those kids over there.
jimi hendrix was left handed. hendrix is god. god is left handed.
20% is double what is the actual numbers are according to many organizations.
Excellent report!
ha agreed =)
ahh, being a southpaw ( never did learn how that came to be ) was never much of an issue for me. i have learned to be ambidextrous with machines though.
oh come on, its not that hard to use your left hand on right handed things, geez india, harden the fuck up
This sucks… i’m left-handed too!! sucks what they put them through. at a young age they did that to me too.. something about being Catholic and being left handed is evil i don’t remember…
Wow! This is crazy, it’s like racism but instead of ignorance it’s plain stupidity.
India, some people are left handed GET OVER IT! Let them left hand in piece! >:(
I can barely write my own name with my right hand, but I can use it to cut scissors, use a mouse etc.
ADAPTIVENESS FTW.
BAD ASS!
You mean “peace” right?
I’m right handed so I’m gonna try and learn to be ambidextrous so I can help my left- handed friends! =P
lol i write left handed but do everything with my right PROLA!
poking kids with fire stick to make them use right hand? abit much doncha think?
Molly I love you please cover more issues for us lefties thanx
Don’t use your left hand to eat in india, cuz you use it to wipe your ass
i thought if lefties used their right hands enough they would eventually switch over.
I can’t write at all with my left hand but I’m ambidextrous at piano
On3Sound, correction, you may use your left hand to wipe, the rest of India may use it’s left hand to wipe, but I use paper and/ or wipes, then i wash my hands. so it makes zero difference.
People who require more details as to my habits while engaged in such actions are sick.
I suggest ending hand use in lavatory circumstances and encourage use civilization and education, never did me any harm..
Superstitions which impose on people in a cruel way are the worst crap. like wiping with the head
I can type with both my right hand and my left hand equally. But I can only write with my right. Wow I just realized I haven’t used anything but a keyboard to write in over 9 months. God damn.

I’m surprised by the amazing achievement of that amount of ignorance, but I shouldn’t be, since superstitions are memes just like religions.
As a left hander, I can relate. I went to a Catholic elementary school where the older nuns tried desperately to make me use my right hand. It turns out that the only thing I can’t use my left hand for is a pair of scissors. Since the right half of the brain controls the left side of the body and vice versa, I now will jokingly remind people that left handers are the only people in their right minds.
South Paws are EVIL!!! It’s science! The right brain is responsible for all crimes in all of human history!!
Left is NOT RIGHT!!!
/joke
That’s just sick.
Btw, I’m also kind of left-handed. I write with my left hand, and am able to do all the other stuff with both of my hands equally.
Yup, Right-handedness is favored by many Asians. My mom used to hit my knuckles with a spoon whenever I used my left hand. Needless to say, I’ve grown up with a lot of issues.
that would only be a problem if you don’t wash ur hands right
Religion = slavery.
‘Nuff said.
haha yeah i do :D
same here i even throw with my right hand, i can do most things with both.
wow, very informative
That comment is awesome, glad to know I’m in my right mind XD
Some can but not all someone from my mothers side of the family was a leftie but something happened to his hand and he forced himself to switch over to right.
I exclaimed what the hell when I saw that part.
He’s one of my favorite heroes partly because I share that with him =D
20%?
I thought it was like five…
I don’t feel as unique anymore :3
lol the unique ones are antidexterous im a left footer in soccer and stuff but i use my right hand, not sure if theres a word for that.
Mixed-handedness
lol
PHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHT
Lame. Im not gonna spend a dime for different equipment just because its abit awkward for a person,
Very nice that theyre grouping together, but a waste i feel
YAY! LOL
orange pacman ftw
The Roman catholic church did terrible things to left handed children.
I’m lefthanded and leftfooted in loads of stuff but I can still use my right hand for certain things, like using the computer mouse, opening cans etc
Right Hand = Molly
Left Hand = Ellie
i was lefty in kindergarten.
my parents stressed me to right wrighty.
exactly what i thought xD
holy shiz, that kid was stopped with FIRE. o__O
after watching this video, I started using the mouse with my left hand xD
yeah it can be so annoying trying to do certain things. especially with my computor. the mouse is on the right side!!! at least it really helps in sports because im one of the few that do well on the left side!
I was beaten in grade school (by a roman catholic nun) for being a lefty, this was in Canada in the seventies. Lefties have it tough as children the world over - and yes, everything is designed for righties, grrrrr.
im left handed and find it so akward usin righty tools even my martial arts is righty im also a huge gamr and the controlr is usually righty it got weird but im lucky that im easily adaptable n was able to learn how to use my right though i still prefer to do lefty when i can like guitar or writing, drawin fightin catchin aim though now i find ive replaced doing sum lefty things with my right i can do almost everythin w/ both but im better at diff things w/ diff hands gues im ambidxtrus now lol
lol at 3:30
Left handed comrades of the world, UNITE!
Lefties ftw!
HAHAHAHAHA wow that guy threatened that kid trying to eat with his left hand with a burning stick!
I will see you purged from the earth, left-handed scum!
If you can reflash their BIOS they could all be made right-handed, maybe?
Im left handed but i use the mouse to my right for some reason. People find that wierd, either way being left handed comes at different levels. I can deal with not using my left hand for certain things, peeling, mouse, button anything, using equipment…..except scissors….damn them
dude i understood the kid without the subtitles, cuz im indian
This comment is epic.
what the hell is that at 2:45 ? Looks like piss in a beaker.
Im left handed, left eyed, left footed. I do everything lefty. Only thing is that i use a mouse like a righty. IM NOT PURE D:
LOL this is kinda..
this is so fucking stpuid that religion should forgive them being left handed cuz its thier faith
You’re a tool.
Maybe you should try actually thinking instead of relying on the logical fallacy of the “slippery slope” argument. Moron.
I was expelled from Catholic school because a nun hit me with a ruler for using my left hand…I guess that myopic b***h should have learned that some people hit back…
And you kind of forgot how to be relevant to a discussion, you flaming f*****g imbecile.
WTF computer mouse? left-handed people can use them withoute problems
2:35, did they just use fire?!? :o
My cousin (then 5) used to always use her left hand for everything. She would grab something with her left hand and my grandpa would take it, slap her hand, and put it in her right hand. I think she’s right handed now. >_>
Generally speaking, yes, but a lot of mice are designed with right-handers in mind. My gaming mouse, for instance, is contoured to fit the right hand, and the side buttons are placed where the right thumb can easily press them.
Something like a computer mouse can get tricky for some, especially those who don’t use computers often.
I remember being little and being unable to use a computer mouse properly, because grabbing it with the left hand would result in me having to use my middle finger to click anything, rather than the index finger for righties.
Windows now has the ability to switch the buttons around, which is nice, but i’ve now learned to use my right hand for mouse control, through sheer force of habit.
I am right handed but I use my left hand for thr mouse because I can type better with your right hand. But I understand that some ergomonic mouses out there would give left-handers are really hard time. Nonetheless I have limited vision in my right eye and shooting a standard rifle is really tough:-(
true, im right handed and i can use computer mouse with left or right hand
I’m usually very open to things, but this is a bit too much for me. Most of them objects mentioned are easily used by left handed people throughout the world! I’m left handed and using a computer mouse and buttoning a shirt isn’t made any different!! Shirts in every bloody country are made that way around so stop complaining!!
I throw with both of my arms like a girl. :D
I’m Left handed but use my right for using the mouse.
I kick and throw with my left hand but bat right handed
I’m left handed, but I was born in Soviet Union, (I’m Lithuanian) and my teacher in 1 grade asked me to learn how to write with right hand, so I did it easily, so now I mostly using all tools and pen with my right hand but I’m using knife all the time with my left hand :) so am I still leftie ? :D
i cant understand this fucking world u have two hands capable of the same thing..leave me the fuck alone ill use my left hand thats what i used since i was a baby im not changing fuck all of you bitches…i hate handism
I use my left hand when i use to take notes in highschool my hands would smear the ink after each word…that sucks
lol.
A lot of my friends are left handed, so I started writing with my left to be like them :P Not quite as good but its fun.
I could read chapter books in Kindergarten, I could count past 100.
Yet because I was left-handed, I was held back a year.
Absolute bullshit
I hope your left-handedness didn’t make you dyslexic….
I as a left-handed person only have problems with drawing and writing(because my hand blurs everything I’ve written) and using scissors becasue I don’t own a left-handed pair. I’m proud of what I am and don’t complain about small stupid things
Im right handed but left footed
“let the children decide which hand to use”
;)
This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard of…..
talkin bout the abreveations? im too lazy too use proper spelling on youtube and im 1st lang french so ill sometimes spell funny
did not :)
computer mice are rarely specifically right handed-ly designed. Unless they’re of the ergonomic type. That put me off the whole video.
hahaha, you couldn’t be more wrong. Tyring using it with your left hand and you’ll immediately understand the problem. Although the design of the computer mice are often symmetrical it clearly has the left click button on the left (for your index finger) and the right click on the right (for your middle finger). For the left-handed population they would have to use their middle finger to press the left-click button, and index for secondary purposes.
I’m a lefty, and I remember first handling a computer mouse and having a super hard time. I am kind-of ambidextrous now, but I used to just use the left anyways (reaching across the entire desk). People in India seem to have a lot more BS to deal with, and my heart goes out to them. Stay Strong Leftys! Be resilient Southpaws! And yes, writing in a binder sux, my hand sits on the metal rings and my writing gets smeared, so I will start writing in my binders on the left side
(=
ME TOO!
Actually, I can use my mouse perfectly fine (bearing in mind I’m a righty) with my left hand - assuming I switch the button assignments under windows mouse options..
I’m also guessing such an option is available under other OS’s as well.
Hence, symmetrical mouse + switch button assignments = left handed mouse o_0
lefties need to stop bitching, and you guys need to bring back the hot brunette from the other videos
0:41 right handers are pac man
how harsh are the parents! use your left hand and you get burnt!! wtf
I’m left handed, and the only thing i use my left hand for is writing, and fapping to the brunette in the other video
us left handers learn to be omni dexterous
that would suck to be a lefty for me cause’ i am planning to be in art and design and everything i would draw would run the risk of smudging.
lmao, thats pretty cool
I’m a lefty, and I’ve just learned to cope with all the right handed materials such as scissors, golfing, tennis, etc. I ONLY write with my left.
I’m more ambidextrous. Although I favor my right, for things like writing, in things like Base Ball I favor my left.
I got a hand job from a left handed girl and it was so amazing…
Being a lefty on a computer is a boon - mouse in the right hand, and the most important keys available for the left. I use the Opera web browser and most of the hot keys can be used with moving the left hand:
- open/close/switch tabs
- save page, go to home page
- cut/paste, edit fields onscreen, change link focus
Plus others. Half of those things require the mouse in other browsers, so I’m usually flying around sites.
Association Of Left-handers…AOL…It’s a conspiracy…
Thats why you should get a wireless mouse.
I hate being left handed because my pencil and ink smudges in my work, i like computers better, and I’ve tried to use the mouse when it is switched to left hand control but its hard for me since I’m use to right hand use for mouse, being left handed also makes my athletic abilities terrible, i cant throw well with my left hand and I cant kick well.
Lulz….EPIC WIN!
Epic WIN
the second person interviewed talks like Apu Nahassamapetilan from The Simpsons…xD
Meh, learn to be ambidextrous.
What’s wrong with using mouse with your right hand if you’re comfortable with it? I am a righthander but can use either hand for that.
As for writing, you know, arabs write with right hand right to left. I cannot write with my left hand very well, but i use it to draw sometimes.
In fact, you should complain about all those shortcuts being for a left hand, since they are an invention of a righthanded person! Come to think of it, a righthander invariably operates a mouse with his right hand, so they use the left hand for shortcuts without dropping the mouse! If you wanted a proper lefthanded layout, you’d need a left hand mouse, keyboard with cursor keys on its left, and righthanded shortcuts.
hahaha, you couldn’t be more wrong. Try opening up mouse preferences on any computer and you’ll immediately see how much of a dumbass you are. There is an option to switch the button’s functions for left handers so the right button is the primary button.
Good video. As a left-hander myself, luckily here in the UK attitudes are pretty good, although I do remember being scalded at primary school for using my left hand to write… But I can identify with all of the comments re. appliances, especially things like scissors and potato peelers! Funnily enough, I’m quite comfortable using a mouse with my right hand - it actually makes for a good working arrangement; I can use the mouse and jot down notes etc at the same time…
Yeah, I’m right handed, but in my old class we had more lefties than righties, which is kinda wierd. I don’t really see the difference, and everyone’s pretty ‘ok’ about it in England, but I didn’t realize things were so difficultfor a lefty.
Oh yeah tottally LOL
You have to start when you’re young.
I’m ambidextrous :)
In some cultures, the right hand is used exclusively for eating, writing, and most other activities, but the left hand is used for cleaning yourself after using the bathroom. So I can see why that might be taboo to eat with the same hand you clean yourself with.
DAMN!!! i am left handed.
like living in the stone age
Well, it’s easier if you start when you’re young. Anything is trainable (If you’re a drummer like me, being ambidextrous is extremely advantageous, and yes, trainable).
That’s why I’m practicing…I’m more of an artist XD
I play a left handed guitar.
Us left hand people are in the right frame of mind, it is a noted fact that left handed people use the right side of there brain and right handed people use the left brain. So there is proof we are in the right. LOL Power to the lefties. What difference should it really make, Maybe we should tie the right handed peoples arm to there side and see how they would deal with being isolated and shunned, I think it is a shame to treat people like this it is as stupid as being a racist .
i knoww i hate it cause i cant use gel pens or anything like that because it will smudge right away
Obama is a lefthanded!!!
2:35 That was scary! I would freak out if someone came at me with a firey stick while I was eating.
