I’m not a left-handed person, but some of my friends and family are and I appreciate their daily struggles. I mean, why do you think Ned Flanders opened The Leftorium on The Simpsons? BECAUSE HE KNEW.

Here are just 9 of the soul-crushing things the lefties among us have to deal with all the time.

1. Torture devices

2. Silver Surfer hand

3. The Great Zipper Fold Conspiracy

4. Can openers are evil

5. Coffee mugs don’t care about you

6. Dealing with these desks

7. Video games are impossible

8. This needs to be upside down

9. Painful notebook rings, rubbing your arms
