Left Handers Are Sharing Their Everyday Life Problems, And I Never Even Thought About These

9.

“Ball point pens literally don’t work well when you’re left-handed, and I’m not talking about smudging.”

“A right handed person uses a pen by pulling it across the paper, which pulls the ball out of the pen slightly, letting ink flow. Left-handed people push the pen towards the paper (unless they hook their hands), which jams the ball into the pen and restricts the flow of ink. This not only makes the pen not work, it can also ruin the pen for future use. I threw away so many pens over the years. Growing up in a household of only left-handers, I just thought ball point pens were a shit technology.”
