Happy International Lefthander's Day!
To celebrate, we've put together a list of the very real struggles that only the citógs among us will understand.

1. Being called 'citógs'
Vaguely insulting or a badge of honour? Just be glad it's not the 1950s anymore - you would have been considered sinful (the Latin for left is 'sinister'. For reals.) and have had that contrariness bate out of ya.
2.These desks
Oh it's so convenient to have a desk attached to the right side of the chair. Oh wait, no it isn't.
3. Tin openers
All you wanted was some beans and toast!
4. Scissors
Simple but effective, right? Wrong! Unless they're the specially designed ones, all they're going to do is make you rage.
5. Knocking elbows at dinner
Righty versus leftie: Who will win the battle of the elbows?
6. Ball Point Pens
They are quite literally working against you.
Ball point pens don't work as well for leftys because we push the pen into the paper. The struggle is real. #lefthandersday

7. Spiral-bound notebooks, ring binders etc
Be warned: these things are not your friend. Best steer clear.
#LeftHandersDay Living in a right handers world is not easy. Three ring binders are evil. pic.twitter.com/G5pLr0BeUE

8. THE DREADED SMUDGE
It's how left-handed people recognise each other. Still annoying though.
What are your most annoying left-handed problems?
