Left-handed scissors are a revelation, if you've never had them they're worth hunting for. (I like Fiskars.)

But yes, agreed so hard. From left-handed guitars, to hockey-sticks, snowboards, we often have to go out of our way to get things that are as "easy" as the more common version.




Snowboards? In what way? (Genuinely curious what you mean, been snowboarding for 24 years and can't guess, but of course I'm right handed!)


Sorry that was a particularly bad example on my part! I was just thinking of sports that I take part in where there is a difference.

Snowboards are symmetrical, but there is a choice between left-foot-forward and right-foot-forward. Not something that makes a significant difference in practice, once I'd realized I could stand "the other way" snowboarding was easy, before then I struggled.
