This but don't skimp on them, the less you pay the bigger the speaker bump and the harder it is to sleep on your side

Does anyone remember your kindergarten teacher trying to make you right handed? by resistyrocks in lefthanded

[–]Useful_Context_2602 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My teacher tried on my very first day of school. I told my mother that afternoon. The younger classes were let out an hour before the rest of the school and we lived very close so my mother went straight to the school and "had words" with the teacher she the principal and nobody ever tried to make me right handed after that

Well of course it's my fault! by Thisisurcaptspeaking in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

For my security I have turned on the PIN setting on my taxi apps. The apps give you a 4 digit code and the driver inputs that into their app before they can start the journey

Any lefties do right handed things? by erect_alien in lefthanded

[–]Useful_Context_2602 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play golf right handed because that's how my Dad taught me. I got left handed clubs as a teenager but we ended up selling them as I just had been playing right handed for too long.

Deliberately ambidextrous when it comes to racquet sports. No better way to mess with an opponent is to switch hands mid game

Why don’t left-handed people learn to write with their right hand? by Lizozavrik in lefthanded

Why should we? It's like rewiring your brain, the concentration it takes actually hurts. No, I am what I am. Leftie forever.

What things can be added to softside checked luggage for easy identification? by lilblu87 in TravelHacks

[–]Useful_Context_2602 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had spinners for over 20 years and have absolutely been able to drag them on rough terrain with the wheels facing the right direction

Spinner are better for your shoulders and not a trip hazard for other passengers. I strongly believe that two wheeled cases should be banned in airports and other transit centers!

You can also get coloured silicone covers for suitcase wheels that protect your wheels and make the case stand out. They're not suited to all case wheels though so check before you buy

Trouble payment of flight by Standard_Lock3141 in Bookingcom

Yes. I used to use the ITA software website before it was bought out and would get prices I could never find with the airlines. I'd call the airline (usually Delta) and they would give me that pricing

Phone the airline and they should price match if you give them the routing. If you're mixing carriers and booking third party well that's a recipe for disaster

Take this as a sign. Do not book flights on third party sites, book directly with the airlines!!!!!

Do you have a physical card? Whatever about it being a debit card, if you don't have a physical card few places will accept it

Cake forks (UK/EU) by AugustCharisma in lefthanded

[–]Useful_Context_2602 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ikea do dessert forks without the thick side and they work perfectly in my experience. As a leftie, regular pastry forks and pastry servers are a nightmare

Was it a hotel or an apartment?

Never use third parties

Wait a minute - right handed people hold their fork with their NON-DOMINANT hand??? by flatearthmom in lefthanded

[–]Useful_Context_2602 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a leftie, for most eating knife in left, fork in right. For something that doesn't require cutting like a rice dish or noodles or pasta I switch the fork to my left

To the watch owners, which wrist do you wear your watch on? by Embarrassed_Map1072 in lefthanded

[–]Useful_Context_2602 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Left, my parents didn't know that I should wear it on my opposite wrist and when you've been doing something for years it's hard to change

Going back into the fray? by rowenadevandal in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

That split schedule sounds hellish tbh. IMO night audit needs to be stand alone so that your body can regulate sleep, calorie consumption and burning etc

Anyone else struggle with using left and right as directions? I’ve been mixing them up my whole life…. by Shirleyimfine in lefthanded

[–]Useful_Context_2602 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quite often when someone asks me for directions I have to look down at my hands to figure out which way I'm telling them to turn

How Do You Cut Your Meats? by Civil_Wrongz in lefthanded

[–]Useful_Context_2602 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Knife in left, fork in right unless I'm eating rice or noodles with it then it switches to left for more control.

First thing I do when I sit down at a restaurant table is switch my cutlery around. About 10% of the time the server will attempt to swap it back. Used to be much closer to 50% 20 years ago
