Being a left hander, are there simple things right handed take for granted everyday that you find difficult?

Plenty of left handed guitars available!

I enjoy teaching lefties as it's actually easier because they can mirror exactly want I'm playing when sitting facing me.

"Cheque books, thank fuck they are dying out!

Lloyds introduced a left handed cheque book around 10-15 years ago which made life much easier as it was impossible to write on the stub. Thankfully they're not used much now but when I used it to pay a cheque in a while back, it confused the hell out of the lady behind the counter. Now she knows how us lefties find right handed ones!

Teaching my daughter to knit she's right handed

But due to her CP she has weakness in her right hand so teaching her left handed ended up being easier

You cant get left handed hockey sticks.

You can play left handed but often your hands are the wrong way round.

Might aswell just go in goals if you want to succeed

I couldn't agree more about the scissors...

Writing I don't have a problem with, even using a fountain pen...

I can't cut a straight slice of bread to save my life...

Power tools, I adapt to...

Cack handed....

I'm surprised that the PC brigade haven't been in to slap your wrists...

As an archery coach, we work on the basis of eye dominance, often finding that some people are better with the opposite hand than they are used to.

The amount of people who are flummoxed working cack handed ay first get used to it. Give them an hour and they are reasonable shots.

If I offer them a left or right handed bow (opposite of what they had) they couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo...

As a leftie myself I wear my watch on my left wrist. My mam who was also a leftie, when she was alive she would wear hers on her right wrist. She would always complain about scissors and tin openers.
