These simple tasks may be a challenge for left-handers There are some everyday tasks that are so simple to do that most of us don't think twice about them. At least, those who are right-handed may not think too much about it and even take it for granted. Something as simple as writing or getting dressed are things most people on the planet do. However, for left-handers, these tasks could be a challenge. Here are some everyday tasks some left-handers may struggle with. Using a scissor Cutting a piece of paper may be a source of frustration for left-handers. This has much to do with the ways scissors are designed. They tend to have blades with distinct handles and a place to put your thump. A left-hander thumb could get stuck in the hole. Fortunately, these days some scissors can be easily used with either hand. Trying to do bank work Ever notice pens chained to the desk at the bank? This is mostly so they won't get lost or stolen. While most people may not see a problem with it, left-handers may find it difficult to sign checks and do other writing while the chain pulls against their hand movement. Using a car's cup holder Left-handers who do all the driving may find it awkward to grab their water bottle or coffee cup from the cup holder, which is placed on the right side of the driver’s seat. Getting dressed Most zip on clothes, like jeans, jackets, and coats, tend to open on the right side. This can be difficult work for lefties, especially when you are in a rush. Clothes with buttons could also be frustrating to wear. Measuring ingredients Most measuring cups print the serving amount on the left side of the handle. So when a left-hander is holding the cup, they do so with their right and pour the ingredients with their left hand. This can make seeing how much they are putting in a bit difficult. Trying to write Wiring with your left hand could make your notes a little messy. This is because you may run your hand on the words and cause a smear. Writing in binders or notebooks can also be difficult as you try to rest your hand against a smooth surface. Trying to gripping the pen cap could also be a challenge, making the process of writing a bit harder. However, practice makes perfect.
