    Oh yes.. 😀 can I buy two? Can I buy a right and a left? His’n’hers..
    Can I? Can I?
    Pleeeeese…
    If a right handed person uses one will it be upside down? Or back to front? Or are they multi handed mugs?…
    OMG!!! Put TWO handles on.. you’d make a million, dragons den here I come..

    To be fair, the market would probably be the same size as the one for the left handed screwdriver.

    You can already get left-handed mugs. It’s often to do with where the design is locacted.

    I’m left handed, and I got a 29er..
    Does that make me a left handed mug?

    D’you know, I’ve never thought about that (as a left hander), I’m going to check all my mugs!

    An Arne Jacobsen left handed soup spoon? Possibly designed in 1957.

    Fwiw, I’m a “leftie” but can only use right-handed scissors.

    That spoon looks quite nice though. I might buy a dozen and replace all the ones in my house. My right-handed wife and son might not find them very useful though 8)

    NOTE – picture shows a blue left-handed pencil and pink right-handed pencil plus the sharpener that goes with each. This product includes only for ONE LEFT-handed pencil and sharpener.

    For lefties who don’t know how to eat soup politely. Or for righties who need to learn. 🙂

    Why would you use a pencil sharpener on a plastic ‘pencil’ that you put refills in?

    Do you use them with your right hand? Oh the frustrations my kid went through when I told him why he couldn’t cut properly with scissors!

    precision drawing pencil perhaps ? the blunt end left by a snapped lead isnt conducive to detailed drawings.

    Both sides are covered.

    I’ve heard whispers about Mr Ellsworth so I did some research…..WOW that guy is a real asshole!

    So when I eat I do it the ‘normal’ way – fork in left, knife in right, but if I only have one implement – such as a fork, I’d have it in my left, whilst a right hander has it in their right (thus actually swapping the fork side). Any other lefties the same?

    I once did a charcoal drawing at school. Started from the left. By the time I’d got to the end, I’d wiped the whole picture off. Would’ve been beautiful thing too.

    njee20, same here! Spoon goes in left hand but when using just a knife that’s also in my left hand. Dread to think what might happen if I tried using a sharp knife with my right hand! Loss of digits for sure!
    I use left handed scissors (why do I have to pay more for them?) but couldn’t use a left handed cork screw or a tin opener to save my life (yes, they do both exist!)
    Strange thing is, if ever I play squash or tennis I have to serve right handed but can then swap hands. Drives your opponent mental 😉

    Left footed MTB?

    Actually left footed football boots are quite a hit. Slightly different balance and lacing combined with power pads strategically placed on the toe and instep to maximise led footers biomechanics. Cost 30% more than basic boots though 🙁

    Yes, me. As far as I remember it’s how I instinctively taught myself, I don’t recall ever being taught a ‘right’ way to do it.

    My logic goes: I’m left handed, I eat with my left hand. If I require something supplementary such as a knife or a beverage, I’ll use my otherwise free right hand.

    It was years before it really registered on my radar that right-handers eat with their dominant hand if using a spoon or fork on its own but switch to eating “wrong-handed” if they use a knife and fork. I’m sure it must make sense at some level, but it seems to me like a bloody weird thing to do.

    What’s the etiquette if you’re right-handed and are using a fork and a spoon for spaghetti?

    As for the OP,

    Yes, there is, a mate of mine has one. Something like this,

    The very small text reads something akin to, “warning, it is dangerous to drink from this side.”

    Careful with that cup, it might get dropped suddenly.

    I’d like a left handed tin opener, I’m right handed (technically, although can write with both hands) but use a tin opener as a left handed person might which always looks a bit special.

    Yes, same here. Though the only other thing I do left handed (fnarr) is writing. For everything else I’m right handed and right footed too. Anyone else a similar freak?
