I was born left handed, they taught me in school/ or they beat the "devil" out of me. Now I am right handed. I didn't even know that I was left handed, until I had a brain scan at age 25.

My Sister and my daughter are both lefties. Sounds like the guy who yelled at you was a nut bar.

My son is lefthanded and he's brilliant and amazing. Sorry for your bad experience with others re your being leftie. Bravo that you are proud of it, why wouldn't you be?

President Obama is left handed. That's good enough for me.

Yelled at you and you didn't use your left hand to punch him in the face? Well, lefty or not, you were the bigger person ?

Stupid on their part . I do think life is easier if you can use your right hand more , as you've pointed out a lot of things are made to work that way . But aside from that , whatever works for you . And please don't be too angry at your step Mom , she was only trying to help you learn how to function in a world that wasn't designed to make things easy for you , like doing exercises to strengthen your bones and muscles .

Sorry to hear that you've encountered such prejudice. You have every right to be proud.

You could have put the pen in your mouth and written that way. Do not practice as you want it to be as unreadable as possible.

I also remember seeing this a few years ago and it made me think.

Years ago I spied a left handed store in San Francisco and that got me to thinking that there might be one near you and that got me thinking that I should just search for a left handed store web site and here I am. I'm also sure that you're aware of the store and that this may be redundant. So here I am again.

I'm so sorry for what all those idiots have put you through. I spit at them on your behalf!

Eh, this might explain some stuff. I write left. Throw right. Shoot left as a marksman but shoot right as a hockey player. I play guitar right which makes sense to me because the fret hand should be the smart hand, I figure.
Go on, save yourself. I'm a fricken mess.

You know it's much more efficient to use a computer mouse with your left hand; it frees up the right hand to more easily hit the return key and operate the number keyboard at the right.

I found out when I had nerve problems and couldn't use my right hand to guide the mouse. Took a while getting use to but it's far superior.

Damn, I continue to be mesmerized by women writing with their left hands, I kinda melt … and assume a left handed guy has a talent I never will.. I’d actually hoped one of my kids would have been left handed; I think it’s special. We’re out there

Darn I could have donated my left handed baseball glove to you! Three older - left handed siblings. The struggle was real! (Oh yes and I'm right handed like both my parents!). lol

Also anyone who still believes that craziness is just nuts. It's right up there with black cats!
