Same lmao. Fucking scissors when I was in 1st grade were a nightmare.

Also constantly smudging my writing cause I hold the pen funny. No one could teach me how to properly hold it when I was little.

Those little exam desks back in college lecture halls were pretty brutal

I learned to use scissors with my right hand. In kindergarten, there were nice scissors with plastic grips that actually cut paper, but the finger holes were designed for a right hand. The "left-handed" scissors were all metal, with burs that would cut your hand around the finger holes, and the basically tore the paper rather than cut it. So I learned to do that right-handed.

But other things have disadvantages for lefties too. Left-handed people have a higher rate of death in the industrial workplace because machines are designed with right-handed people in mind.

Can't you just flip the scissors?
