Yeah, gotta be wary of those sinister people...

Edited question, but hahahaha

Are you left-handed? Because that

Edited question

was kind of sinister.

Yes, I capture them and put them on a pyre.

Praised be our lord! Finally a good person in this thread

For the night is dark and full of lefties.

Okay I’ll be the hero and say it since nobody yet has:

I don’t see the world through that lens.

Takes a bow, fends off photographers.

We have a work area with school desks for some reason, of the crappy right-handed variety. So I notice when colleagues awkwardly try to use the desks and they're left-hand dominant.

I have a friend who is left-handed and insists on shaking hands left-handed. She will stare down anyone until they offer their left hand or do a weird fingertip shake with their right. Anyone who manages to shake her left hand without looking like a goober, she excitedly welcomes to the left handed club.

I don't notice which hand they use, but more often than not, lefties will write with their hand curved over (and smudging) the text they just wrote instead of from beneath (and not smudging.) That's when I notice. So when I notice, I don't say, "You know you could prevent getting graphite (or ink) everywhere..." I say, "Ah. Leftie."

I have seen righties do the same weird smudging with the arced wrist. Why do people write like that?

That's extremely noticeable with left handed people trying to draw on whiteboards

I’m left-handed myself, but I never notice if others are.

It seems like it used to be a bigger thing a few decades ago, when writing by hand was more common.

Only people I know because I like knowing who's left handed among my friends and family because it helps with things, seating areangements being one obvious example. Or so I don't just hand them scissors they can't use or something.

My wife and one of my kids is a lefty. I've kinda grown used to half looking out for it in others but only idly. It was fun watching each of the kids to see if any of them would be.

A friend of mine dropped an absolute bomb one day that I'll never forget: "There's only right handed and wrong handed". Definitely more than 20 years ago now but I never forgot it because I laughed so hard.

Yeah I have people sign stuff for me a lot at work but it's across a table from me so sometimes my brain fails to figure out for a second.

I only noticed with my partner after they already told me they were a lefty, and we were working together one day and kept bumping each other.

Now we make sure that I sit on the right and they sit on the left.

I get a few comments a day at work about it, surprisingly.
