Default Chronicles of a Lefty

Being a lefty is possibly the most challenging disability to overcome in the entire universe. You rightys need to take a second and think... think about all the times you've forced a lefty into using a right-hand-centric product. Think about all of the leftys you harmed... emotionally and physically. Let me give you an example of my disability interfering with everyday life.

It was second grade. I was in computer class. I was using my left hand to control the mouse... just like I always do. Suddently, without warning(!), the teacher said, "You should really use your right hand Taylor." I stopped what I was doing. I was shocked(!)... appauled(!). How could someone dare tell me to use my opposite hand when controlling a mouse!? Also, leftys must use their middle finger to left mouse click. How annoying it is.


More recently I purchased an xBox 360 and Gears of War. Fortunately, there is a left hand control setting for me to make use of. This switches what the two joysticks do. This way I can aim with my left thumb and move with my right. However, Gears of War makes heavy use of the A button. And in order to use it appropriately, I must be moving. The movement stick however is on the same side as the A button. I must contort my hand to get my index finger to push the A button while keeping my thumb on the movement stick, as seen below.


I hope you all learned how much leftys have to sacrifice in order to live a normal life. Our contributes are numerous, but our sacrifices are even larger. Let's all take a second and think, what would life be like without all the creative-minded, right-brain thinking leftys out there.

Stieffers, your a disgrace to lefties. I'm a lefty, I just learned to use my right hand for a mouse.
I write with my left, and that IS a disability. All the fucking binders and notebooks for fucking righty's with the binding on the left, so fucking annoying

I'm a lefty too, but I do a hell of a lot of stuff right handed

Mouse
Console Gaming (some things are meant to be left how they are...)
Guitar (no unneccesary restringing for me)
Archery (half lie, I've tried like twice)

the point is... you have hurt the 360 by using the left hand option. =/ but i respect you for being such a stubborn lefty.

For most mice, there's a setting you can change to switch the buttons around.

Or buy a left handed mouse, as JPorkins suggested.

But damn, lefties do have it hard. You should see the music shop... Around eighty guitars, five of which are left-handed.

Correction - for ALL mice. You can swap the mouse buttons in windows control panel.

Also this explains why all your gun models eject brass the wrong direction.
