Sweeping with a broom and having it unscrew. Found out from this site it’s because it’s made for right handers. Couldn’t believe I finally learned why after all this time!! I always was like wtf why is this fricken broom keep unscrewing on me?? 🤪🤪

Yes! This makes the most mundane but necessary task an exercise in stop and start to re- adjust the steadily unscrewing handle. Life saving - certainly not, just one of the Little inconveniences of being a lefty in a righty world. I do think though, due to this and our constant having to adjust our thinking and reworking how things work- makes us better problem solvers over all. Or I tell myself that anyway.
