Lefties have been sharing their struggles for National Left Handers Day

Ink. Ink, everywhere.

LEFT HANDERS HAVE been celebrating National Left Handers Day on Twitter by noting the biggest struggles they must face on a day-to-day basis.

The rest of you just don’t understand.

The #LeftHandersDay 1st observed in 1976 to promote awareness of inconveniences facing left-handers in a predominantly right-handed world

So now. Step aside, right-handers.

Some can cope if their friends are sound

But hey, it’s not ALL bad

Being left-handed can be an advantage in a fistfight when a surprise left hook can be a decided benefit.#LeftHandersDay
