Finally, a place where no one will insist I "just try writing with [my] right hand" or make me throw a baseball or shoot a rifle right-handed! The only thing I do right-handed is use scissors, since as a child the only available scissors were right-handed scissors, and while I did try to use them in my left hand, it hurt terribly!
My school had left-handed scissors, but they were all 'safety' scissors with rounded tips. The right-handers got to use proper pointy scissors. I always felt like we were being sent a message...
Once, when I was in kindergarden, the room mother noticed I was using a pair of left-handed scissors with my right hand (without much success). She stopped me, took the scissors away, and came back with a right-handed pair. I had grasped that there were different scissors for different hands, but apparently not which were which, so I dutifully switched hands and began using my new right-handed scissors with my left hand. When she came by again she was not amused, and brought me back my left handed scissors. It kind of went on from there.
