I don't know if you guys know this about me, but I'm actually left-handed.
I just put up my right hand...
..saying I'm left-handed
I'm actually left-handed, guys.
...and left-handed people have to go through a lot of struggles most people don't even realize.
I'm totally kidding.
I'm not left-handed, but I know a lot of people that are.
They reached out to me;
They were like...
Hey, you need to talk about the struggles that we have to go through every single day.
Like sitting in a right-handed only chair.
LIKE THIS..
IT is SO uncomfortable.
...'cause, how do you expect us..
...to go across
..and write down?
Like, how is it even possible?
But, let's be honest.
Even if you're not left-handed,
..this chair is SUPER uncomfortable,
..like who sits in a wooden chair like that?
This has to be one of the most annoying chairs, I've ever sat in at school.
I hated these types of..
..chairs
But, how's it going everyone? You're watching Reaction Time,
and we're looking at..
..some struggles only left-handed people really understand.
Shouts all my left-handed..
Handers..
I was gonna say left-handers out there..
SHOUT OUT to all my left-handed people out there!
We're gonna feel some sympathy for you.
So, this photo on the right,
...you get a heart when you order your espresso or whatever that
Cappuccino..
It's a cappuccino...
You get..
a heart
You can actually get varying different shapes,
...and this one's a heart
But if you're left-handed,
...you obviously can't use the handle..
..on the right you have to twist it...
..use it on the left 😞
What do you get?
You get a pair of ball sacks..
It's so beautiful..
Wait, what?
Oh, NO.
But, seriously you have to twist in..
It kinda looks like..
..a pair of ball sacks instead of a beautiful heart
..a struggle
Here's a typical conversation of a left-handed person..
..whom they have to talk
with a right-handed person
The right-handed person says,
"Sign here, please."
*left-handed person signs*
Right-handed person says,
"Oh, wow!"
"You're left-handed?!"
"My fiance's cousin's neighbor is left-handed!"
Left-handed person says,
"Just let me live my life."
Just 'cause left-handed people are so rare,
My fiance's cousin's neighbor is left-handed.
We have a lot in common.
Left-handed person says"Can you just let me live my life?"
For example,
I'm 6'2''...
..while there is more people that are 6'2",
A lot of short people always like,
"Wow, you're so tall!"
"I wonder what it's like to be up there!"
Let me live my life.
When I introduce myself,
"Hello, my name is Tal."
"T-A-L"
Other Person: "Hey, that's ironic.."
"..because you're also tall."
Let me live my life!!!
We're gonna start saying that,
Every time, I'mma be like,
"Let me live my life!"
"Things People Say When I Write With My Left Hand"
"I have a random relative who's left-handed!"
That takes about..
I'll say.. ten percent,
"Left-handers are so creative!"
Hey, they are called 'left-handers!'
I said that in the beginning!
I thought that they were gonna be called left-handed..
..people
Why am I treating them like they're some type of like..
..unique
..creatures?
..left-handed people?
"How can you write like that?"
...and
...what most people say is,
"Are you left-handed?"
These people are geniuses! Innovators of the future!
Guys, if someone is writing with their left hand,
Either they're ambidextrous, (able to use both hands equally well)
No, I'm not even gonna try to say that word.
*tries to pronounce 'ambidextrous'*
Anyways!
They're probably left-handed.
So,
Asking them if they're left-handed..
...is like
You guys asking me..
...if I'm white
Let's be honest.
I'm white.
So the English language..
...is built
...left to right
More specifically,
It was built for people who are right handed.
So when you write,
There's a clear paper,
And, uh, you know,
...there's no problems,
BUT, WHEN YOU'RE LEFT-HANDED,
YOU GET..
WHAT THEY CALL:
"Silver Surfer Syndrome"
I wanna be a silver surfer!
Basically, your whole hand gets full of graphite,
...which is what's in lead pencil
So, when you write with your left hand,
...it ...you go across what you're writing
...and it smears all over your hand.
Let's pray for them, let's pray for them.
Now, there are instances where right-handers actually get the same thing.
I got them a lot in elementary school maybe..
..just 'cause I was pretty special, but..
I had a pretty big hand...
So, when I would go through the lines,
Sometimes,
..the top line would actually get on my fingers.
So, I kinda relate.
I relate to you left-handers.
"When You're Left-Handed"
Always bumping people with your left hand.
"When You're Left-Handed"
Notebook rings always get in the way.
"When You're Left-Handed"
You get..
...silver surfer syndrome
"When You're Left-Handed"
You notice all lefties every time.
I can't imagine the 'no book ring' problem,
Like that must be so annoying.
You have to be at an angle,
...and just like,
...you can't even write well
I wanna learn to write with my left hand.
"I'M LEFT-HANDED AND I HATE YOUR SCISSORS"
The way they built scissors,
...this totally makes sense
If you're left-handed,
...you have to hold this backwards
And it could be pretty annoying.
When you're left-handed and you break your left arm and everyone tells you,
"Hey, at least it wasn't your good arm."
Well, guess what?
It was.
Then the left-handed person tells them,
"Hey, you know what? I'm left-handed."
"So, I actually broke my good arm."
And you're just standing there,
...looking at them ...
Oh.
I'm sorry.
I'm gonna go now.
Yeah, I'm gonna...
Aw, give them a break!
Give the left-handers a break!
But, what are you gonna do, like..
How would you possibly design this better?
Would you put it in the middle?
That could kinda work.
That's sad.
I feel bad.
Another Silver Surfer Syndrome.
This time, it's the whole arm.
She could literally erase it off.
Everything is built for people with right hand.
Left-handers can't catch a break.
Well,
I feel like left-handers should just honestly,
...really teach themselves how to use their right hand,
'Cause, unfortunately,
...the world is against them,
And on that note,
...check out the original article
If you wanna look at some more of these guys,
It's gonna be the first thing in the description,
...especially if you're left-handed
You gotta go check this out,
'cause it's gonna be very relatable to you
I really thought this was unique;
A unique perspective for left-handers.
Guys, come on, don't ask them,
"Why are you left-handed?''
Because,
That's one of the stupidest questions..
...you can ask.
You don't choose to be left-handed,
So, let's show 'em some respect.
Left-handers deserve the same rights we have.
I'm totally kidding guys, but thank you so much for watching.
