    August 13th (which was yesterday where I live), is celebrated every year, as International Left-handers day. Its meant to promote the inconveniences faced by left-handers in a predominantly right-handed world.

    Well I'm predominantly left-handed, so ya I can vouch for the fact that many common articles are designed for efficient use by right-handed people.

    So are you left-handed or right-handed? If you are left-handed, do you have to face any inconveniences?

    I'm right handed but I only found out yesterday that about 10% of the population are left handed. I think I only know one person who is left handed.
     
    I write with my right hand, I lift with my right hand, I drive with my right hand, I text with my right hand, I...I'm going to leave that one out...,I drink with my right hand, I eat with my right hand, I must be right handed!

    Ya approximately 10%, might be less than that.

    Do you guys know that even in some relatively advanced societies, left-handed people have been & still are forced from childhood to use their right hands for tasks which they would naturally perform with the left, such as eating & writing, coz its considered "inauspicious".

    Interesting, I read it somewhere that around 2500 left handed people a year are killed from using products made for right handed people.

    As for me, I'm ambidextrous. Although I write with my right hand, there's a lot of things I can do with my left too. :)
     
    Left-handed. I've only faced discrimination once from my double-standarded friend (I also have a friend who's left-handed, but he is strong). However, I use a right-handed mouse, and I'm ambidextrous in holding spoons and forks.
     
    Left-handed. Always came home from school with lead/ink on the side of my palm.
     
    I'm starting to wonder now if that 10% theory is actually true, I mean 12 people have posted so far, 6 lefties (me included) & one who's ambidextrous, which means only 5 right-handers. We're actually in the majority here fellow lefties (so far at least, but I'm sure its gonna change :P).

    Maybe the reason because of that is because more left-handers are interested than right-handers in this thread.
     
    I'm right handed.

    But my brother is a leftie, hehe! Xp

    But I had no idea being a leftie was difficult at times

    I guess he would know better than I

    Xp

    Edit: My fiance is also left handed

    And I meet more left handed men these days than women

    Is that a dominant trait for a guy?

    Either way, with what I have seen so far

    Statistically

    More than left or right-handed people, it is the ambidextrous people that are rare in this world :)

    The rest of the remaining people are 70℅ right and 30℅ left handed.
