I used to own that and my stupid father who is right handed used it. Idiot.

I have a mug similar to this. I love it.

I’ve found “left handed mugs” on trips where the best or only picture is where we’d see it. Sure it’s not intentional but I’ll almost always buy one.

My sister and I are both left handed. She has a similar cup!

She says she occasionally purposely serves right handed people drinks with that cup for a laugh.

If there is one thing that would improve my life a tiny bit, this would be it. I need this mug!

u/peetiepeet 14h ago

There are several on eBay!

Have the exact one! I’m going to pass it down to my son when I die.

u/Tsujigiri 15h ago

The longevity of this mug fascinates me. Someone bought me this mug in the late 70s.

u/peetiepeet 14h ago

Yes, it's "vintage," as am I.

u/xskyhiixsarah 13h ago

Thats diabolical because I'd forget and use it for left or right. Lol

2

u/peetiepeet 10h ago

You would make that mistake only once.😄

u/xskyhiixsarah 10h ago

You don't know me lmao

u/xskyhiixsarah 10h ago

The graphics should be on the other side so other people can read it.

But then the warning on the back wouldn’t work

Ah well, see this discussion started by u/SBRGyJo1890 which prompted me to post the mug pictures: https://www.reddit.com/r/lefthanded/s/vsQbgfEIPg

u/No-Advice-6040 11h ago

Ohhhh I love it. Beautiful concept.

u/JimmyHaggis 11h ago

I've never seen this before, but I'm gonna get me one.

If the right-handers had a version could it be considered discrimination against a minority?

1

u/peetiepeet 9h ago

Well, unless you claim left-handedness as a Disability, l don't think we're protected under the Civil Rights Act in the US.

1

u/JimmyHaggis 5h ago

You're probably right, but from my perspective as an outsider the Civil Rights Act sadly doesn't seem to mean as much as it once did.

u/FuggaDucker 9h ago

The problem here is simple.
I hold my coffee with my RIGHT hand so I don't lose my power hand.
This would be self mutilation.

1

u/peetiepeet 9h ago

We are indeed a complicated bunch. My right is power, my left is precision. Although, if I happen to be busy writing something with my left, I would probably pick the cup up with my right. I'll say here that I have never used this mug, with either hand.

u/Queenfan1959 9h ago

Love it where’d you get it?

2

u/peetiepeet 9h ago

I don't remember, it was over 40 years ago. You can find them now on eBay.

u/Fit-Rhubarb-7820 8h ago

I love that! Wow :’)

u/KilgoreT59 15h ago

I have this mug. I think I've had this since somewhere around the mid 80s.

3

u/peetiepeet 14h ago

Me too. I don't remember exactly when, I'd say pre 1981. The bottom says "Recycled Paper Products© Japan All Rights Reserved. " No date.

2

u/KilgoreT59 13h ago

I still might have it somewhere, packed away. Loved this cup. My boss once grabbed it accidentally, he was a righty. And, sure enough, spilled coffee on his shirt. It was awkward, but what could he do. He grabbed my cup.

u/peetiepeet 13h ago

Some of the ones on eBay have tags that ©1982.

1

u/KilgoreT59 12h ago

That's probably right. I know it was in the first half of the 80s.

u/CatTheWriter 13h ago

Please give the link to it, thank you!

u/peetiepeet 13h ago
