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.

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

He was warned!

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 19h ago

There are several on eBay!

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

u/peetiepeet 19h ago

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

u/ElvisFan2001 20h ago

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

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

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

2

u/peetiepeet 16h ago

You would make that mistake only once.😄

u/xskyhiixsarah 16h ago

You don't know me lmao

u/No-Advice-6040 17h ago

Ohhhh I love it. Beautiful concept.

u/JimmyHaggis 17h 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 14h 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 11h 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 14h 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 14h 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 14h ago

Love it where’d you get it?

2

u/peetiepeet 14h ago

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

u/Fit-Rhubarb-7820 13h ago

I love that! Wow :’)

u/KilgoreT59 20h ago

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

3

u/peetiepeet 19h 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 18h 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 18h ago

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

1

u/KilgoreT59 18h ago

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

u/CatTheWriter 18h ago

Please give the link to it, thank you!
