      Why :( ?

      We have a skill that most don’t have. Give someone who’s single hand dominant only, a steak. Watch as they constantly have to shuffle the silverware back and forth. Or go play like baseball or racquetball or tennis or badminton, etc. and just keep swapping the hand, it’ll throw them off.

          Oh! I had no idea that was very much an Americanism! Next time I travel overseas I’m definitely going to pay more attention to that.

          Literally people who don’t know how to properly use silwerware.

          I cannot do pretty much any precise stuff with my left hand. I can however eat perfectly fine without switching the fork to my right hand (unless there is nothing left to cut I sometimes switch).

        Why :( ?

        No idea. They did this thinking they were doing a good thing for me, for some reason. It was just ignorance and lack of information from them, I think.

        Well, at one hand, I became ambidextrous, and got no bad side effects that I’m aware of, but on the other hand, this didn’t improve anything in my life. Pun partially intended :D
