    FIRST !!!

  2. Kayley says:

    This one is so true! People ask me all the time “Are you left-handed?” It’s like, yeah, that’s why I’m writing with my left hand. I haven’t heard the other phrases as much, but definitely that question…

    • Churj says:

      Maybe you’re just ambidextrous instead? See, then the “normal” people have to ask to clarify!

      • me says:

        I’m naturally right handed, but i taught myself to write with my left about a year ago, and can write equally well with both hands now, and I usually switch hands every few minutes just to confuse people

        • Dtown says:

          mmhmm this happened…

        • Athanar says:

          I’m working on using my left hand. It’s legible, but not great.

          I typically just comment with “Oh, you’re left-handed. That’s cool, I don’t see too many people who are.” The question seems redundant to me and the others seem a little ridiculous.

    • Val says:

      i always get that “are you left handed” and “i wish i was left handed”" the most

    • JayPea says:

      My favorite: “I didn’t know you were left-handed!” Well, now you do, but you won’t remember it and next time you will say the same thing again!! My answer: 10% of people are left handed, 10% of people are smart enough to be in MENSA. Coincidence, I think not!

      • Balck Dragonfly says:

        Let’s just say there are 10 ppl in teh whoooole world. 10% is 1 person. let’s just say…Jack.
        So Jack’s left handed , out of the 10 people. Jack is the 10%/
        Now from those 10 ppl 10% of em are smart enough to be in the MENSA . Now it might be Jack, or it might be Bob1,Bob2,Bob3,Bob4,Bob5,Bob6,Bob7,Bob8 or Bob 9
        even if it’s one of teh Bobz … it’s still , like 10% . (all teh bobz are right handed) So… what’s our Conclusion? that bob# can be in the MENSA, because he can make part of those 10% , even if he is right handed. So who is , or who isn’t smart enough isn’t related to them being left handed. DUm dum duuum!

    • Kyd says:

      As a natural lefty I lean closer to the other lefty and whisper “We take over the world next year…..pass it on.” Then I pull back and wink.
      This is only after I address they too are in their right minds.

    • GintokisGirl95 says:

      It’s awesome to hear that there is another left hander on this page. I would’ve felt so alone lol XD But yeah, people ask me that all the time. And I’m like, “Well DUH! Don’t you see me writing with my left hand?” Though there aer ambidextrous people on this Earth, so…..maybe it is polite to ask lol

  3. Jailbreak says:

    I usually get that sorta comment when I play pool, which is the only thing I do left handed for the most part. don’t get the relative tho

    • w00t says:

      i do the same exact thing. i dunno why. same with firing rifles and bows

      • Charlotte says:

        I was once told that for firing a bow it was more important to use your dominant eye rather than hand- and my left eye is stronger than my right even thought I’m mostly right handed, so I shoot left handed- maybe that’s why.

        • kassie says:

          yeah, i’m left handed, but i shoot my bow right handed because i have less vision in my left eye. it depends on your dominant eye mostly

        • whiteyford says:

          haha, i was taking a rifle shooting course and they were trying to tell me my other eye was dominant. so they made me shoot right handed and it completely screwed me up. LEFTY POWER!!!

  4. cherrytomato says:

    I get that all the time too xD

    though for some reason no-one ever told me I would be creative,,

  5. Tina says:

    Yeah, I hate that question. “Nah, I’m just writing this way to confuse you…”

    • meetooo says:

      YES! My husband tells people that. Or “I’m actually hiding from the FBI, who knows I’m right-handed…”

    • me says:

      I’m naturally right handed, but i taught myself to write with my left about a year ago, and can write equally well with both hands now, and I actually do switch hands every few minutes just to confuse people

      • Loving Lefty says:

        I have a co-worker who does that and her left-handed writing looks like a second grader wrote it. She may think she writes equally well with both hands but she doesn’t.

  6. Schnuppe says:

    So, so true!

  7. Anna says:

    The most common one is “how can you write like that” (if you add “doesn’t it feel weird?”). I usually reply “does it feel weird writing with your right hand?”

    • Lefty says:

      People say that all the time. Or something like, “Oh, [famous smart person] was left-handed! lol!”
      Although many lefties position their hand differently, so I can understand.

    • callie says:

      I probably get that question the most too! And it’s always in such a snotty tone! Like it’s something repulsive. Or I get “how can you stand writing upside down?” I still don’t get how it’s upside down. Right handers are so out of it.

  8. Sikketh says:

    I was writing something at work, and a customer was walking by, yelled at me, “You’re using the wrong hand!” and genuinely sounded angry because I wasn’t writing with the hand he wanted me to write with.

    • Cold says:

      Writing: ur doin it wrong. ;)

    • meetooo says:

      Must have gone to Catholic School. The nuns tied a kid’s hand behind his back in my second grade class and made him write with his right hand. They transferred him to another class after that. I got in trouble for telling the nun that I had no idea being left-handed was evil .

    • JayPea says:

      I am the only left hander in my office and I always mumble about the backwards people who put things in the files wrong. When they tell me I am outnumbered, I just say I am more important because I am a rare talent. They aren’t impressed – but they should be!

  9. avie says:

    so true. and so annoying. what do they want me to say? no i’m actually right-handed, i just like to confuse everyone writing like this….???

  10. Emma says:

    It would be more accurate if it was mostly red. Lefties rule!

  11. Me :D says:

    Just say: “No, I just like to try out new things”

  12. Biggie says:

    They should have spelled it: wright-ing, because all lefties wright like ritards

  13. SouthPaw says:

    Ahahaha.
    I normally get “I didn’t know you were left handed!!”

  14. John Anonymous says:

    BLASPHEMY!

  15. Jeff says:

    Seriously tho!
    Its true!

  16. dino says:

    Well, so many people I know also say ‘people who are left-handed die earlier than those who are right-handed’ or something. It’s almost like they hate left-handed people. I’m one of them. >:(

    • Max says:

      When people say that just tell them Oprah and Obama are left handed (look it up) and how dare they say that about those two wonderful people.

    • Uhh says:

      They say that not because the hate lefties (my mom is left handed) but cause most machines are manufactured for right handed people even if left handers use them. So if they use them wrong, they get into an accident. It shouldnt be “Left handed people die early” but “Left handed people are more prone to accidents when around machines made by right handed people”. Anyway, Im right handed and I wish I was left handed. :) Be happy with who you are. Right handed or Left handed.

  17. Wyld says:

    Obviously the graph maker never met me because I don’t see a “Back! Foul demon; you southpaws are devil spawn!”

    • Kyd says:

      Southpaw is a baseball term given to left handers from the practice in baseball of arranging the diamond with the batter facing east to avoid the afternoon sun. A left-handed pitcher facing west would therefore have his pitching arm toward the south of the diamond.

  18. Liller says:

    no one ever asks if you’re the devil?

  19. Randor says:

    God made a few perfect people. The rest he made right-handed

  20. johnny says:

    Napoleon Bonaparte was lefty, but he could write with both hands.. at the same time… this is what I say to “lefties”.. I like to be a smartass!

  21. Zesty says:

    i’ve always heard that lefties are from the devil!!!

  22. Ryan says:

    Story of my life…I just say “You don’t…that is odd”, only the stupid ones pursue to question.

  23. Loving Lefty says:

    Lefties don’t live as long because they are a bit clumsy in the right handed world so are in more accidents. If you put right-handers in a left-handed world, they’d have the shorter life span. Simple – really

  24. fallingstar says:

    That’s funny, I always say “Ha, so you’re wrong-handed, huh?”

  25. Girlysprite says:

    I actually never hear about it (left handed).
    I’m ambidex with a mouse though, which is super-useful, because I have less chance of developing wrist problems like that. I can just switch hands to give the other a rest.

  26. Balck Dragonfly says:

    Was Hitler a lefty? ? ?

  27. AdamBast says:

    What do you expect from them to say?

    • Mandas says:

      Why should they say anything at all? As a right-handed person in a dominantly right-handed world, it is unique to see a lefty but that’s no reason to point it out. I also grew up in a predominantly white red-neck town but I’ve never had the compulsion to say to a non-white person “Are you (insert color here)?”

      Although now that I’ve started to think about switching all of the graph’s options with that scenario it’s become all too funny…

      • AdamBast says:

        My point exactly. Right handed people know nothing about our problems, annoyances. And the only proven thing about left handedness is the trobles with the right handed tools. I sometimes point out that one or other tool is wrong for me, but they can’t say anything else than “get used to it”.
        So stop observing that I’m left handed unless you can sympathize.

  28. Jade Nicole says:

    ah, that happened to me today. it gets annoying after a while.

  29. 2ndchair says:

    I’ve never heard that one until the comments section on this page, actually.

  30. jack says:

    “South Paw” is always my remark.

  31. Shelby says:

    i usually get “you know you’re using the wrong hand?”

  32. Laura says:

    hahahahahahaa
    1. Are you left-handed? -NO, I’M JUST FAKING IT e_e

    i think its really stupid when people see the reality and ask to confirm something they already know!
    like when i arrive home my mom is like: are you back??” -no mom, i’m just a hologram…

    hahahahahah btw the one ’bout films IT’S SOOOO TRUE!!
    LOVELY BLOG :)

  33. Falstaff says:

    All not half as bad as leftie gingers!

  34. bookhobbit says:

    It’s a technically valid question, you could be ambidextrous. Which doesn’t make people much less silly for asking it, but…

  35. sillywhiskers says:

    I find it interesting that six of the seven females in my class are lefthanded. The rest of the people in my class are 11 males who are righties.

  36. Charlene says:

    Funny, cause I would ask if you’re channelling Satan!

    • Firewhisker says:

      @Charlene- What the heck is that suppost to mean? Are ppl still ridiculing us lefties? Still calling us devils?! WELL UR WRONG!!!!NOTHING IS WRONG WITH US!!!!!! JUST BECAUSE WE ARE DIFFERENT THAN YOU RIGHTIES DOESN’T MEAN THAT WE ARE EVIL!!!!!! Fine then. You dismiss me as a devil, than you’re racist. That’s right, you heard me! RACIST! This is personal, and mark my words: I will never forget this!

      • Firewhisker says:

        The fumes of my anger upon your single sentence would light the Olympic torch until the 3045 Summer Games!

      • Tomato says:

        Technically, it’s not a racist remark, for it does not judge your ethnicity, but your being lefthanded. This would be called discrimination.

  37. Lo says:

    If someone would ask me “are you left handed?” if they see me writing with my left hand i would say “no, i’m actually right handed i’m just practicing in case i break my wrist” “oh really?” “no, you douchbag, of course i’m left handed, are your parents related or are you retarded by accident?” and then smile :)

    P.S. I cannot believe the amount of people having an argument over typing first when you’re first. To the people who do type first, stop it, comment on the thing you just saw. To the people who go ballistic over reading someone type first, chillax you morons.

  38. Camo says:

    lol people be gettin butthurt

  39. DubbLE_TaiLZ says:

    i know soooo many lefties it isnt funny.

  40. Syko says:

    Raaandom!!

    Class pie chart :) But oh so true, but makes me smile to think they see you write with the left hand and still ask? Hahah.

    Lol @ this I’m First To Comment ‘Craze’ Every remember the rhyme..

    First the worst, second the best….. etc

  41. Liam says:

    I’m so glad that I’m not the only person that constantly gets badgered about left handedness! It should be obvious when I’m writing with my left hand. I hate society.

  42. mojojo says:

    I get asked if I’m retarded.

    I’m sick of getting looked at like a science experiment.

  43. That One Person says:

    It’s funny, people always say that to me, but I’m technically right handed, I just write with my left hand. (My mom taught me to write with my left hand when I was a kid, as she thought I was left handed. Found out later I’m not. Still write left handed, though.)

  44. Natalia says:

    It would be more accurate if it was mostly red. Lefties rule!

  45. Reba says:

    I’m not left handed, but my mother and my brother are. I was reading a book once, about connecting with your right brain in order to better tap into artistic talent, and it was saying that left-handed people still house their artistic/abstract/whatever intelligence in their right brain, even though their left side is more dominant rather than their right. The only case where this is thought to be different (and people get to research this stuff too lol) is in the left-handed children of left-handed mothers. So i guess my brother has a backwards brain.

    Hah! That explains a lot!

  46. McJerkie says:

    Things people say when I jerk off with my left hand:

    Is your right hand tired? – 50%
    Need any help – 50%

  47. sonny says:

    so true, so true

  48. erin says:

    haha i totally agree with this! that is seriously the first thing you EVER hear. it drives me crazy :)

  49. m76mat says:

    Lol, im left handed and no one ever notices.

  50. Jacob says:

    EVERY-FRIGGIN-BODY ASKES ME THAT. “You’re left-handed?”

  51. Firewhisker says:

    This is so true it scares me.

  52. brady says:

    100% – lefties die on average 7 years before right handers

  53. a&w says:

    oh well. that’s 7 yrs i won’t have to worry about people bickering over “firsters” who get bashed by bashers, who should be banned. lmfao. i’m the only left-hander in my family. i run into a lot of customers who know so-and-so is a lefthander… it drives me nuts when first-time customers say “i didn’t know you were a lefty!”
    how could you have, idiot? you only just met me!

  54. Mona says:

    I use too say that left-handers are handsome!

  55. OMG says:

    happens a lot with me

  56. Brandon says:

    yeah. the comments on this are more epic than the post itself. and being first takes about as much talent as being un employed and having the ability to masturbate.

  57. LBF says:

    I usually get, “Why are you writing with your left hand?” Because I’m left-handed, you douche.

  58. Lolover says:

    I’m more like the green or yellow, but I’ve gotten used to it (mainly because there’s like twelve lefties I know – one is my friend with the same name as me and another is my mom)

  59. Leftie says:

    It sucks to be left-handed when you can’t find the right equipment for you as everything is meant for the “normal” people.

    It’s only a benefit to ‘look different’ and find out that the PE department doesn’t have a glove for lefties or something and you get to skip out on some sport you hate.
