  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)
context: This is a friendly reminder to read our rules.
  Remember, /r/Showerthoughts is for showerthoughts, not "thoughts had in the shower!"
  (For an explanation of what a "showerthought" is, please read this page.)

  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
