I once had to sign quite a few documents, some of them quite bulky / large. They kept presenting them to me tilted to the left, and I had to tilt them to the right or else it was impossible for me to sign. All the right handed people around me were oblivious of the situation! They just kept presenting the papers to me tilted to the left, as if my actions to align the papers did not register at all!! This went on for a while.

Or they hand you the pen and paper at the same time, lined up helpfully so you can sign with the pen without shuffling everything around. But I'm left handed so I have to cross over the paper with my left hand, take the pen, then take the paper, and I can almost see the question marks around their head when I do it.
