10 Everyday Things That Are a Nightmare for Lefties! 😱✋
Unless you’re a lefty, you might not realize how many everyday items are designed for right-handed people. Here are some surprising ones that lefties struggle with:
- Jeans Zippers 👖 The flap covering the zipper is on the left, making it nearly impossible to zip with your left hand.
- Credit Card Machines 💳 The swiper is always on the right, and the pen is tethered to the right side, just like at banks.
- Measuring Cups 🥄 If you hold one in your left hand, you’re stuck measuring in milliliters instead of ounces.
- Car Fobs 🚗 The button is set up for righties, so lefties have to open them upside down.
- Microwaves 🍲 If you push the button to open it with your left hand, the door hits your arm.
- Rulers and Tape Measures 📏 If you use a tape measure left-handed, the numbers are upside down.
- Power Tools 🛠️ The handle you pull down on is on the right, making it unsafe for lefties who have to cross their arms.
- Novelty Coffee Cups ☕ If there’s printing on one side, it faces out for righties, leaving lefties with a blank side.
- Playing Cards 🃏 Many cards only have numbers in two corners, making it hard for lefties to see them well.
- Serrated Knives 🔪 The teeth are set up for right-handed use, causing lefties to cut unevenly.
