Threaten a normal..I mean right handed person with it, and force them to use the scissors to cut things for you.

Such as right-handed soap. Lefties just get to wipe their hands on their pants.

Our parents' generation was literally discouraged from being left-handed. It's a fact I use against people who say shit about certain conditions being "unnatural"

Even though left handed scissors exist and I'm left handed I just bought right handed scissors and use my right hand with no issues at all.

I have never seen a pair of scissors that can only be used with either left or right hands.

Parents? Hell it existed in my generation. I remember in the early 80's when Teachers would keep taking the pencil out of my left hand and put it in my right hand and tried to force me to switch because of the stigma against being left handed.

It wasn't until I complained to my dad and he contacted the school and bitched at them to stop trying to change me and let me use my left hand if I wanted that they stopped.

Probably because you're not left-handed, it's not just about the shape of the handle, some scissors literally stop cutting as well as they can once you swap from right to left.

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/5ke1fc/why_do_right_handed_scissors_not_work_in_the_left/

there's a ton of threads like this floating with a casual search. It's quite an issue once you start cutting tougher stuff than paper, i.e. metals/ thick rubber.

I am left handed and have literally never had this problem in my life.

The actual problem I had was much more embarrassing, though. No one ever told me until I was 25 that I was holding scissors the wrong way lol. Turns out the BIG hole part is for your fingers and the small circular one for your thumb!

I have a pair of left-handed scissors. I never use them because my muscle memory is conditioned to using scissors with my right hand.

Forget scissors, our whole writing system is designed for right-handed people. Having to write things by hand in school was the worst, awkwardly gripping the pen or pencil without touching the page so I don't smear it and render whatever I've written unreadable, making tests and quizzes and such extra fun, compounded by shitty desks that always had the armrest part on the right side.

Then you've never seen good scissors. Quality ones are usually contoured, but it's almost always for righties.

Does anybody doubt this is a real thing? There are still kids in the Western world today being taught that writing with the left is wrong and the right is how it's supposed to be done.

Most scissors are right handed, and if you use them left handed you get jagged cuts

Nope, they don't work nearly as well left handed. You either get jagged cuts, or it just folds the paper between the blades.

I had a really random case of the opposite. My dad caught me messing around with his guitar and because I was doing it left handed (he's a leftie, so his guitar was left handed) he decided to get me a left handed guitar. Unsurprisingly I kind of lost interest in the guitar.
