I'm left-handed. I grew up and prospered in a right-handed world. Of course, that meant I had to be more adaptable than the poor right-handed folks. A woman asked to use my computer and as she sat down I told her I was left-handed. She looked and promptly moved the mouse to the right side of the keyboard. Fine.

"The buttons are wrong."
"No, they're not. I told you I'm left handed."
"Well, change them."
"No."
"You don't understand how awkward it is."
"Oh, I think I do since I'm left handed and the world is right handed. I think I have a friggin clue."

No left-handed person who has survived 18 years has a major problem. They learn to be at least minimally ambidextrous.
