I'm one of those lefties who have been forced to write using my right hand too.

It cost me grades throughout my whole time at school and university. This is why I write with my right hand. It's ugly, but most of the time I can read it. Luckily, we have devices today which make handwriting not so necessary anymore.

It was a blessing when I learned spreading butter on bread with my left hand...in my late 20s. Those many times I just ripped through the bread. Also forced upon me on some church vacation where me doing it with my left hand was just uncomfortable for my table neighbor and why I had to stop it according to the adult watching us.

Yeah...it is more than "a bit annoying" in this right-handed world sometimes.

Get those lefty scissors. They are such a blessing!
