Dear right-handers, your world is hostile to us, are you aware of that?
Try putting your right hand behind your back or in your pocket for 15 minutes.
The can opener for left-handed people is at the origin of this Gaucherie project. Yes, there are still cans that can’t be opened easily, and if there’s one object that isn’t ambidextrous, it’s the can opener!
The vast majority of windows have right-handed openings. I’m sure you’ve never noticed!
Right-handed gantry. Try taking out your pass with your left hand and doing some acrobatic gymnastics to get it over the gantry. And behind you, a few grumbling Parisians!
Unless you live in England or in a country that drives on the other side of the road, cars are made for right-handed people: so try turning on the radio or drinking your coffee with your left hand… I know, it’s twisted, but it’s our directive hand.
Try cutting along a line: you can’t cut straight if you’re left-handed.
Designed and built by right-handed people, of course.
Have you ever tried to scroll with your left hand? You won’t be able to.
They’re definitely made for right-handed people! If you’re left-handed, you can’t hold your cards in your right hand without playing blind. Unless you have an ambidextrous deck.
I’m not even talking about all the jigsaws and other tools that are made for right-handers. A good left-handed person will take all the bits of wood in the face and risk losing his arm (and becoming right-handed by accident!).
If you’ve always dreamed of joining the Vesoul Philharmonic Orchestra as concertmaster, and you’re left-handed, forget it! As a violinist in an orchestra, you run the risk of poking your neighbour’s eye out (and the same goes for other bowed instruments, but perhaps less dangerous for the eyes). Choose the guitar instead, which is more left-handed friendly, or the piano, which is an instrument that has adopted our left-handedness over time (“Concerto pour la main gauche”, Maurice Ravel, thank you Momo).
As for me, I’m super-adapted to this world upside down from mine, but I can’t close a bottle properly. That’s how my husband recognizes my deodorant in the toiletry bag, or the bottle of milk dripping into the fridge! Well, in this case, he’s out of luck: there are three left-handers in the house, so we’ve still got to try and unmask the culprit.
Imagine for a moment living in a world where everything was upside down. Stop complaining when the milk has run off or the jam jar lid hasn’t been closed properly! Tell yourself that it’s not our fault, but that of a world that doesn’t run very smoothly for us.
