The reason why many left-handed write "upside-down," is because we had to learn to write at these desks:



there was no place for us to put our arm while writing, so we had to curl our wrists around to be able to write.

Maybe this should piss me off, but fairly tall dudes who behave like they are really tall. Like a 6'3" guy who would duck in a doorway where you would only have to duck if you were at least 7' tall. Or when getting up acting like their body is unfurling like it's some pain; you're a few inches taller than average, you aren't Gheorghe Muresan or even Darko Milicic, probably not even Sarunas Maciulionus-tall.

Once played tennis against an ambidextrous girl. Long reach on both sides. No targeting her backhand. Super annoying.

I'm 6'3". It's natural to duck when the ceiling is not that far from your head. I also have back problems unrelated to my height and on a bad day it hurts when I get up the wrong way.

I'm very offended by you being offended by what you allege is a conscious choice of overacting.

What does not count:
Writes left, throws right
Writes right, throws left
..... although that is even more tolerable to...
Writes right, throws rights..... but I play golf lefty.... yeah gtfo with that **** *******
My math and physics teacher in high school would write with his left hand on left part of the whiteboard then switch hands as he progressed further to the right. No discernable difference in the quality of his penmanship either.

Travelers.

The dolts who get to the front of the line at the airport and only then realize they've got to empty their pockets/take off shoes/etc. Act as if you've ever been to an airport before, and be ready.

So I guess it's really the TSA and the ridiculous charade of security we're forced to go through in order to fly that bothers me.

Morons who get on the train from the terminal to the gates, and then stop instead of moving further on so people behind them can board. Also applies to elevators.

Idiots who are ambling along in a herd, wide enough to block the entire walkway. Also applies to those who stand left on the moving walkway.

As much as I love the experience of travel, the actual traveling frustrates me a ton.

I realize I'm incredibly fortunate to live in a society where relative freedom of movement is possible, and to have the resources to be able to do so. So, First World Problems, which is why none of this should piss me off.

ABC just showed an update of a football game and had MICHIGAN and HAWAI'I.

Even though that is correct, that diacritical mark pissed me off, it doesn't look natural to me. Just go with HAWAII bastards!

Nuns at Catholic schools used to swat kids with a ruler for using their left hand. You know - in the Good Old Days.

I got swatted by a nun for that! My Dad came to school and straightened her out, though. "He's left-handed. Deal with it."

And she did...by making me sit at that damn desk.

It's funny, but I went to school in Texas in the fifties and I don't remember anybody trying to change me away from using my left hand. They did swat people for speaking Spanish outside of Spanish class though. And a million other things...

Idiotic pricing like what i just saw at Burger King

French Toast Sticks
3 piece...$1.00
5 piece...$2.59

And yes, i know that people who go to Burger King piss you off.

When you order a soft drink (because you're driving, otherwise why would you?) and they stick a ****ing straw in it without even asking you first.

I searched all of these terms on urban dictionary. Still don't know what kind of filth you all are discussing right now.

I also have never gotten a drive thru drink that already had a straw in it

Occasionally I've gotten the "half unwrapped" straw where the bottom of the wrapper has been removed and the top half is still on the end of the straw sticking up out of the cup lid.

The lefty vertical thing learning on wrong hand is old wives tale BS. It's only lefties who even write like that, and there is no way right-handed children being incorrectly taught to write lefty would be common at all. The other way around is far more likely for obvious reasons.
