    We didn’t used to have left handed people either — we just had right handed people with really shitty handwriting…

      Woah, I’ve never thought of this and want to see this. Anyone who’s left handed but forced to write with their right, who want to write the same sentence twice with either hand and attach a pic?

        So I was supposed to be all lefty but my hand got fucked up as a baby with an infection so in the formative months I had to do stuff right handed.

        So everything that’s foot based I do left, or goofy foot where appropriate, and hand stuff is all right handed.

        My left hand is fine now and I can throw better with my left hand than most right handed people can tho so that’s nice.

        Left hand writing is still shit tho

        I’m 52 now… Probably about 10 or 15 so, I meet my kindergarten teacher (relatively small community) and she told me that she was among the first teachers that allowed children to be left handed.

        Definitely have shitty left handed writing and ADHD!
