    I solve problem 2 by flipping my notebook upside-down. Reading my notes back is a little more annoying but I’m not in physical pain while writing, so I consider it a win

    And who could forget granny’s: when you’re left handed, “YOU’RE THE LITERAL SPAWN OF SATAN” ok, dear?

      @Gsus4 In my country kids were beaten with rullers on their hands at school until they were able to write right-handed IIRC. Not sure if this brought to them anything else than trauma anyway.

    The first time I picked up a crayon, I used my left hand. My parents were concerned but waited it out. After watching me use my left hand the next few times they decided to convert me.

    I was brought to a special Sunday school service where right is right. They started with drawing, then moved on to writing. Eventually they worked on my instincts, by throwing things at me, at random, to ensure I used the right hand to catch. I was slapped with a yard stick in the knuckles whenever I used the wrong hand.

    Leftiism exists. Parents think they are helping but it’s caused all sorts of problems in my life.
