  Oh gosh, ink on the hand. Spiral notebooks just going to town on the bottom of your hand. Lots of fun lefty things. 
  Also, power tools are 100% made for right handed people lol

  I should learn Arabic just to never get ink on me ever again. >
  
  You know what's funny. I had a friend from Dubai who was left-handed, and they forced him to write right-handed to conform.
  The left hand in arabic culture is seen as 'dirty' (which I won't get into), and it's actually seen as rude to shake someone by their left hand or do certain tasks with your left hand >
  
  I totally agree that shaking hands using the left hand is considered rude and somehow lazy (as in the person doesn't care)
  but writing with the left is totally fine (they usually try to teach kids to use the right hand early on but if the kid couldn't in the space of a month or two then they'll stop trying) >
  
  My mom went NUTS when the teachers tried to force me to use my right hand. >
  
  How is your handwriting? Because I started using my left as a kid and my teacher had me use my right and turns out I’m actually right handed haha >
  
  my handwriting is terrible but ever since I got out of college I don't really write by hand too much...last time was to sign a receipt for my rent payment (REALLY wish they would let me pay online) >
  
  Who the hell does that anymore?  I literally live with my tenants (long-time roommates, I bought the house we were renting) and we STILL do online direct deposits.
