Five Eight Things You Should Never Do When You Encounter Someone Who Writes With Their Left Hand:

1. Ask them if they write with their left hand.

2. Ask them if they *really* write with their left hand.

3. Ask them why they write with their left hand.

4. Ask them how they write with their left hand.

5. Ask them how they write with their left hand and still manage to have a pretty writing.

6. Make them write with their right hand, and look surprised when they fail to hold the pen properly.

7. Stare.

8. Call another person and proceed to discuss this quaint new thing while the left-handed person in question is writing a really important examination.

I find lefties to be both gauche and sinister.

Hee.

Just kidding! ♥

Someday we shall take over the world, you know. We're just waiting for the right, plotting behind your oblivious backs...

[swatkat24.livejournal.com]

Right time, I mean. Or rather, *left* time.

[leiascully.livejournal.com]

Waiting for the right what?

My dad's a leftie. Some of my good friends are lefties! Spare me when the revolution comes and I'll attempt to become ambidextrous.

Do you really write with your left hand? :P

*stares*

*crosses no.s2 and 7 off list*

[ms-artisan.livejournal.com]

I think you really should learn to write with your right hand. And if I were there I would stand over you and watch till you were good at it.

*adds number nine to the list and crosses it off*

[swatkat24.livejournal.com]

We are not amused.

[swatkat24.livejournal.com]

We are not amused.

[swatkat24.livejournal.com]

Right time. Right time. *Left* time, actually.

My dad's a leftie. Some of my good friends are lefties!

You just broke a jurisimprudence rule.

[ms-artisan.livejournal.com]

hee -- you're very cute when you're cranky.

So--what happened with the Very Important Examination? Did you ace it?

[swatkat24.livejournal.com]

Oh, there were many such Very Important Examinations. Every board examination I have sat for (those are the big important ones which have external examiners. some of them even require you to sit for it in a place other than your own school/college) has had such incidents. The one where the examiner actually called his friend from another room and proceeded to STARE at my answer sheet went rather well (NO THANKS TO THE TWO OF THEM), if I may say so myself. *preens*

[favouriteyear.livejournal.com]

Now that is just ridiculous, also for the record, I think lefties are cool to sit next to, I get a lot of writing space!!! XD

:: blinks :: Isn't something like 10% of the population left-handed? How have they failed to encounter this phenomenon before?

[ms-artisan.livejournal.com]

Ha. You obviously thrive under pressure.

Me? I grew up with two lefties and now I live with one. Most of the time *I'm* in the minority as a rightie. :)

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

People are still weird about the left-hand thing?

[catsma.livejournal.com]

*waves left paw in the air*

I'm another leftie too and people have given me the same "oh, you have nice writing for a lefthander" comment too, with surprised looks on their faces.

My only quirk is liking to sit on the left outside of tables when dining out as I use my fork with my left hand too. Not sure if it's leftie thing but it's the way I was taught to eat by my parents. Someone told me once it's an English thing.

[swatkat24.livejournal.com]

It was my Part II exam, last year. I wanted to murder that man.

And lefties are cool to sit next to only if they're allowed to sit on the left side. When we are forced to sit on the right side there's only chaos and jostling.

[swatkat24.livejournal.com]

I've always been surrounded by right-handers all my life, everywhere, and it's so very tiresome. *headdesks*

[swatkat24.livejournal.com]

If I had a penny for every time I've heard any one of those, I'd be a very rich person.

[swatkat24.livejournal.com]

Sigh. They are.

[swatkat24.livejournal.com]

*extends left hand for the sekrit left-hander's club shake*

Isn't it IRRITATING? As if left-handed writing = chickenscratch by default. No, I have a very nice writing, thank you very much.

I thought it was an English thing too. Although, I generally use my right hand, in the American way. Because in this part of the world, eating with your left hand in public (unless you're using both hands t o tear bread or something) will get you stares, so I'm conditioned tht way. Actually, I'm somewhat ambidextrous, because I can throw things only with my right hand, but I'll hold the racquet only with my left hand!

[leiascully.livejournal.com]

Don't I know it.

[swatkat24.livejournal.com]

And do you know *what* the punishment is?

[leiascully.livejournal.com]

Cupcakes?

*hopeful*

I know your heart belongs to Federer, but damn, how pretty are the two of them in white? I don't know which way to look. *sighs*
