LEFT hander
in a RIGHT handed world
This post is dedicated to all my left handed friends, relatives and readers.
Many left handed people experience difficulties with doing regular things
due to the lack of consideration and thought put into designing tools,
equipment and everyday things. Even Prince William, a well documented
lefty said he wasn't able to participate in a game of polo because he
was a lefty.
Also, lefties are considered a danger in field hockey when using a hockey
stick - playing with your left hand will get you disqualified in a game.
Luckily, lefty pupils who have no interest in the game get off easily by not
being required to participate in such a sport.
In the 21st century - there is still a desperate need for more variety of
products to cater for the left handed division such as ATM machines,
front door locks close to walls, stair bannisters, toilet flush handles,
hospital and ambulance equipment...
just saying things could be designed for all and be more neutral.
There's still hope because retailers are improving their stock of lefties.
Here are some left handed products on the market:
- Can opener
- potato peeler
- pencil sharpener
- pens
- scissors
- guitars
