What is it about left handers thats weird?

Question

im a left-handed person and people are always like, wow! your left handed ... as if its the next big thing. i mean sure we dont have many of them and i maybe somewhat 'creative' but really is it that big adeal.

i think people really think thats its something really major.. when its just that where not 'right-handed'

as for my birthday is on the 13th and its not like people are like ooooo.. your bday is on the 13th. thats a bad time. your going to have badluck for the rest of your life. and accidently breaking a mirror. you have bad luck for the next 3 years?

i mean wth man... is this just negative karma coming from everyone?

why is it that they think some things are much more destructive than others? i find this quite strange but that just my say.

feel free to answer =)

Answer 1

You're funny. Now to answer your question: righty tighty - lefty loosey. That's how things work.

Answer 2

A lot of things like this are rooted in some form of religion or historical event.  

For instance, it was said that the Devil was left-handed, which was just carried on over the years as being something 'different'.  Or walking under a ladder was seen as unlucky because it broke up the "holy trinity" (since the shape of a ladder against a wall forms a triangle).

So this is why people comment on left-handedness, the number 13, broken mirrors, and so on (even if they do not know why).  They're just meaningless notions that persist in our everyday language.

The next time someone makes a comment about being left-handed, you can tell them that statistically left-handed people are more intelligent :)

Answer 3

The latin for left is sinister I believe!
