      Oh you are a leftie? I never noticed! Did you now that other guy you don’t know or care about is a leftie too?!

    I’m left-handed myself, but I never notice if others are.

    It seems like it used to be a bigger thing a few decades ago, when writing by hand was more common.

    Okay I’ll be the hero and say it since nobody yet has:

    I don’t see the world through that lens.
    

    Takes a bow, fends off photographers.

    I don’t notice which hand they use, but more often than not, lefties will write with their hand curved over (and smudging) the text they just wrote instead of from beneath (and not smudging.) That’s when I notice. So when I notice, I don’t say, “You know you could prevent getting graphite (or ink) everywhere…” I say, “Ah. Leftie.”

    I have seen righties do the same weird smudging with the arced wrist. Why do people write like that?

    My wife and one of my kids is a lefty. I’ve kinda grown used to half looking out for it in others but only idly. It was fun watching each of the kids to see if any of them would be.

    A friend of mine dropped an absolute bomb one day that I’ll never forget: “There’s only right handed and wrong handed”. Definitely more than 20 years ago now but I never forgot it because I laughed so hard.
