Left or Right hands?

As some might know, im a left handed and being one comes with prons and cons. One of prons is that i can eat while doing my works (my fav) but cons is some tables are made for righties, ended up using 2 tables (one for sitting, one for writing)

I understand the lefties but i bet righties do also have its prons and cons? Kindly both lefties n righties share the experience please :smile:

when writing on whiteboard with right hand, students cannot see what was written because of the writer's body obstructing their view. With left handed lectures, students can write along with their lectures' speed.

You have two hands. Anyone with two hands can eat and work at the same time.

Also tables aren't made for righties. They're flat and have no bias. Wherever did you get that nonsense from?

I'm ambidextrous.
Lefty con - smudging fresh writing as you write.

Does this even happen though? I use a fountain pen and have never smudged when writing left-handed. If you're smudging then your posture is wrong.

I suppose you're one of those who curls your wrist all round and writes sideways :rolleyes:

That type of table, and the one here that i used are quite smaller than that- limited area to write.

by eating i mean while holding the foods while writing my work, the society here believe that eating should only be use with right hand :smile:

So true! Thats why i use other pens than the inky pens though they look cool when using ones :smile: (plus i have tendency of spilling on my work so 😂)
I’m left handed and have had to get used to it : my writing ✍️ is atrocious though. My mum was born left handed but in those days left handed ness was supposed to be the work of the devil 👿 ( I think maybe the devil was supposed to be left handed) so she was forced to learn to write right handed. She ended up ambidextrous.
I’m left handed and I use fountain pens without smudging at all. As Tootles said, if you’re smudging then it means your hand posture is wrong and that you’re lazily dragging it over the paper.

What's the correct posture? :s all my lefty friends laugh about the smudging with me so I never assumed it was wrong hand posture.

edit - I googled this correct hand posture and it seems I'm already doing it, unless it's the wrong one?

I guess with a title of left hands/right hands it was never gonna be thrilling 😞
I think the same: right hand to write to eat to bring to do something, the left to enjoy myself coz it is as another people touche me ....lol
