“You are left handed too, cool”!
That’s what I hear as often as “your handwriting is horrible”. I was born right handed but because of nerve damage I had to learn to use my left and thus my handwriting is not great. Very legible but not great.
Most people are very impressed that I can even write with the left and unbeknownst to me there seems to be a super secret club for left handers. They will come up to me and ,with a wink , laud my south-pawery.
They were born left handed and I chose to be left handed. I’m like their right hemisphere of the brain golden child.
It’s not like I can read minds or bend spoons,yet.
The one time that my explanation seemed to not help was the time I was helping a customer fill out some paperwork. She was a nice young lady who seemed to have had a bad day and was very curt and bordered on rude. I filled out a few pieces of the paperwork and she exclaimed “I cant read that”!. I told her the paperwork was for internal use and the folks doing data entry for me could read it just fine.
She was still upset and I was wondering why she was getting all worked up over a small, insignificant thing. After reassuring her for the 3rd and 4th time I asked if she would like me to get someone else to fill out the papers. She said no and she wished I could write better.
I turned the papers toward her and asked if she’d like to fill these out but she would have to do it with her non-dominant hand. She gave it the old college try and found her print to be completely useless.
Couldn’t read it.
That’s coming from me that has to read my poor hand writing all the time and I’m like a bad hand writing code breaker.
She looked up at me and said that she was sorry and just had a bad day and kinda took it out on me. I told her I knew it was something like that and I fully understood. We concluded our business and she apologized profusely again. I told her I completely understand and it was ok.
She pulled her business card out and said she sold houses and if I ever wanted to discuss the market to call her. I thought this was odd as I wasn’t in the market for a house and then she started writing her home phone number on the back of the card. I’m a little thick but I understood that she was using this as a way to slip me the digits. You are a sly boots indeed. I looked at the card, thanked her and with a loud voice exclaimed “your handwriting sucks! It’s like you thought of all the ways in which you could make this unreadable. This looks like Egyptian hieroglyphics written by a retarded monkey”.
She laughed, I laughed. I called, we went out and as it turns out she wasn’t just having a bad day.
She really is a bitch.
LOI… I like the end. Sad.
I also write with my non-dominant (left) hand. I can write legibly, though I wouldn’t win any handwriting prizes, but I’m *slow*. I type everything I can.
Do you find that your O’s come out sort of diamond-shaped? I can’t draw the round shapes at all, they all come out angular.
My O’s look like footballs
Don’t feel too bad, I was born left handed and my handwriting is still terrible lol
“Cool, I’m a lefty too.”
So are both my folks…the word “sinister” means left-handed.
That feels right.
Our script looks as though we write with our feet…except dad’s – but he uses a ruler to cheat a straight line. His is immaculate. He’s very neat. I think dad was potty-trained at bayonet point.
well if you throw a dart at a group of women, you’re likely to find a bitch
also, i can write legibly with both hands O:
or at least i could the last time i tried
my right hand was in a cast for like 4 months and i had to learn
Captain Caveman?
LOL! That’s fucked up. I love it.
i was born a right-handed dude but was conditioned by everyone around me to become right handed. now i’m ambidextrous
So you like men and women? Im not good with words.
Ha, i like the ending
Left handed, eh?
Sounds like code for SATAN LOVING WITCH!!!
Lol. Awesome article.
Good thing you found out before you got too involved with her only to have Large Marge the truk drivin dyke show up for an unwanted visit during CHALUPA hour…
I was born right handed and had some shoulder damage so I turned leftie for about 8 years. I’m back right handed again.
After the 4th (and last) operation, when I was in physical therapy and learning how to use the right arm everyone was impressed by thing things I could do leftie. Write, shave and brush teeth (harder than you think) throw darts and so on. Then I showed my trick. I learned that at the same time I write with my right hand – I can write a mirror image with my left.
well if you cant read minds or bend spoons, its pretty obvious that your not a true lefty lol.
well the aricle was way nice !!! i m a left hand writer though ma writing is goood !!! but as i have heard through out ma life left handie as “intelligent peple “!!!din found anyhing like that in ma self !! its pretty unfair…left handies are great !!
i m searching whether i am or not !!! lol
Yeah, I’m naturally left handed. I have decided that I will henceforth show great prejudice to those who joined our ranks by circumstance and not birth. Natural southpaws FTW!!!
You should have keyed her car, just for fun.
Is “key her car” some slang you kids use?
My dad’s a lefty and his teachers at school tried to force him to place his paper like a righty and even encouraged him to use that hand. His handwriting is atrocious because of it.
And I’m not surprised she was really a bitch. Most people who are mean to customer service workers/retail workers/waiters are. They should all die in a fire. Or eat a bag of dicks. Or eat a bag of dicks while dying in a fire.
Bag of dicks was an improvisational troop I was in
It’s what we call it these days. You, should have, like, totally, like, keyed her car if you know what I mean.
She was so hot
I keyed her car in the parking lot.
