Being left-handed we've had to put up with some annoying things in life. I'd like to hear your stories, if you have any, that have come from being left handed.
The good things that have come from being a lefty, and the bad.
My number one problem is that I always smudge the ink when I'm writing. It also can make drawing a pain sometimes (smudging again).

First off, I can't use a can opener to save my life. I've tried once and got soup all over my clothes and on the floor. Second, pencils=worst enemy. It gets all over my hands, which is why I always use pen. Always. Next, three-ring binders are an annoyance. Notebooks aren't too bad. But overall, not too many things get in my way.

Pencils and binders are pains for me too. I usually take the paper out of the binder just so I can write.

The only thing that got to me about being left handed was being told I had the devils hand in writing by my teacher when I was about 6 years old eek I went to a Christian school.

I was almost forced but my teacher figured that even though you can lead a horse to water, you can't make it drink.
Damn it, another one of my metaphors with animals!!
But I was made to sit with the other right-handed children and it's kind of hard to write at a round table if you understand that there isn't any sides to an ellipse or a circle. None. The tablet desks didn't get too much easier, but I learned how to use one. And then when I turned twelve I saw a left-handed desk. Dun-dun-dunnnnnnnnnnn! But I couldn't use it because it was for a special student (makes sense, but the kid wasn't even in our class). So I couldn't use it. Now it's even easier. No tablet desks.
^And by the way, I never have had someone say that to me. And I don't think I'd be able to withstand the strict rules in a religious school system. Never.

Singing Bah-Bah Black Sheep to the tune of hymns because from a young age me and a few of my friends already decided we didn't believe in God. No doubt, at the time, some kind of wanna-be rebellion, but even 15 years later I stand by it. xd That said, I find religious people quite admirable now. I suppose I'd like to have their faith, but I can't convince myself. Ah-well.

^Hey, both you and your brother are left-handed? Sorry, I hate getting those similar remarks, but that I've never heard of.
