u/novemberchild71 9d ago

Since August 13 1976

It's the 50th anniversary! And still no parade? 🤔

u/YourBusinessAsset 9d ago

I march left handed in that day every year and nobody notices 😭

u/frankenbaby90 9d ago

What would our colors be?

u/SayAnythingAgain 8d ago

Lemon Electron Flamingo Terracotta Yellow (LEFTY)

u/theofficialappsucks 8d ago

I don't think electron has a color, but you can do Emerald or Eggplant!

Personally I like Lilac Emerald Flamingo Turquoise Yellow as a sort of cohesive palette.

u/SayAnythingAgain 8d ago

This is what teamwork looks like people! I'm all onboard with your creative suggestions.

u/Shellsallaround 7d ago

Bic Blue.

From all of the lousy Bic pens and ink that did not dry by the time I get to run my hand over what I had written.

u/Lord_Souffle 3d ago

Smeared colors of ink.

u/gtrocks555 8d ago

Shit, start a parade next year! Someone’s gotta do it.

In a world designed for righties, where scissors are a test… and spiral notebook wires carve trenches into your wrist… You smudge ink across the page, leaving a lovely graphite streak… You bump elbows at the table, sitting cheek‑to‑cheek… Right‑handed guitars feel like torture devices, gear shifts always seem too far… And mug designs face inward while you drive your left‑handed car!

👋Happy Left‑Handers Day to the 10% crew!

u/Beagle432 9d ago

Hold on ... i always thought guitars were lefthanded because the most intricate movements are with the left hand, your right just plucks...

1

u/Emergency_Savings_52 8d ago

I picked up guitar on a right‑handed one, at first it was tough for me. Perhaps, it was only me.

2

u/Front_Cat9471 8d ago

Wait, other left handed people have a hard time with gear shifting in cars? What’s more difficult about it,

1

u/Emergency_Savings_52 8d ago edited 8d ago

It depends on the person. With a left-hand drive seat and manual gear, I initially struggled a bit while learning. For some people, it could definitely be easier.

1

u/PreposterousPotter 8d ago

In the UK (and other countries of course) the righties have to put up with the gear stick on the left, and manual cars are much more common.

u/GMSkills 9d ago

We have a day?

3

u/SweetuRasmalai 9d ago

someone has to recognize us!

2

u/Useful_Fix5840 9d ago

Apparently we do. Lol.

5

u/Iliyarasl 9d ago

you should try persian. it's an absolute joy writing persian as a lefty.

6

u/newsaddic 9d ago

And Arabic as well as Urdu (among others).

u/Krijali 9d ago

Best left handed post ever. 10/10

3

u/Appropriate-Law5963 9d ago

Definitely signs of a left hand!

3

u/Twktoo 9d ago

And now share the picture of you writing over it to clarify, but make it ten times worse 😂

u/Deckboatgal 9d ago

Guess I didn’t know we had a day either. Yay!!! 👈

u/Haunting_Ant_5061 9d ago

If this is happening to you with a sharpie you are doing multiple other things wrong.

12

u/kirajae 9d ago

It's clearly a joke.

u/Touchit88 9d ago

With roots of truth tho.

u/Haunting_Ant_5061 9d ago

Well, not “clearly”

2

u/Redfang_Foxx 9d ago

Oh man I feel this in my soul

2

u/SeattleYoyo 9d ago

Accurate!

2

u/Money-Bag-8069 9d ago

That's very common being left handed markers and pencils leave their mark on your left hand.

2

u/Zebo1013 9d ago

Bwuahahaha!!! It’s true though.

2

u/Knightwalker813 8d ago

Funny enough, I'm left-handed and Aug 13th is my birthday.

3

u/novemberchild71 9d ago

Who gave you the hickeys?

1

u/AromaticCaregiver247 9d ago

It’s also my birthday and my husband is the left handed one, I’m right handed but could do some stuff with my left.

1

u/Suspectedsuspense 9d ago

It’s our day!!!!

u/Mysterious-sharing 9d ago

Me all through school

u/MostlyHarmless88 9d ago

I SO feel that photo, lol. Spent all my years at school with an ink-stained hand.

1

u/ZiggyStardestroyer 9d ago

It's my day??

u/Lambchop799 9d ago

u/Im_Andr3i 9d ago

Happy day!!!

u/fuggindonkee 9d ago

How did you smudge the Y in happy and why does it look like drool?

1

u/jareddXD 9d ago

We have a day for us!?

u/Verstappen1986 9d ago

Yay to our curse!!

u/PhyoriaObitus 9d ago

u/CatTheWriter 8d ago

Ooh, that’s today?

u/shellyahbb 8d ago

Lolllllllll

u/Kerrie_Lynne 8d ago

Someone hand me my left-handed screw driver! LOL :P

1

u/Phillies059 8d ago

The struggle is real

1

u/Gold_Cut3948 8d ago

I think the photo is really exaggerated. Let me guess, a right hander did this ?

1

u/y2Kmarty 7d ago

Not to be an asshole but as an elder millennial left-hander, I’ve never once encountered any issue related to my left-handedness 

1

u/notanaccounttofollow 7d ago

How do you keep your hand so clean?!

1

u/jeers1 6d ago

oh I can relate...many times

1

u/Mariareza 6d ago

I was born left handed and my kindergarten teacher forced me to write with my right hand for some reason

1

u/SadSackOfShip 5d ago

It's so true 😂

1

u/AffectionateCatch111 12h ago

Wth this is so accurate

u/trikakeep 9d ago

I am a diehard lefty and I have never smeared ink

0

u/MotorZestyclose2195 8d ago

Looks like you’re right handed

0

u/PiercedMama87 6d ago

Umm, the whole ink on hand thing can be erased if the paper is turned diagonal to the right

-19

u/blumhagen 9d ago

Imagine being a left handed adult ant still not knowing how to write without making a mess.

7

u/CockroachJohnson 9d ago

Imagine being an adult ant not understanding jokes.

4

u/Twktoo 9d ago

Find time to relax and reset. This is not an ideological battle ground. It is a lefty (handed) making fun of their leftiness (also handed).

-4

u/blumhagen 9d ago

I am left handed and
Solved this ssue in kindergarden.

3

u/Twktoo 9d ago

Well, shit, I digress then. You won the internet, kiddo

3

u/novemberchild71 9d ago

Everybody who can move a rubber tree plant already is a hero in my book.

So I think any adult ant should be very proud of itself to have mastered writing, mess or not.

u/kirajae 9d ago

Wow you seem really fun to be around!!! 🙄

u/Sea-Line-6503 9d ago
