STOP sitting in the lefty seats
For fuck’s sake
If you are a decent human being and attend classes every once in a while, there’s a pretty good chance you sit in a lecture hall.
If you are merely observant, you’ll notice that on the right side of every aisle there is a row of seats whose pull-out mini desks are oriented on the left side. These are for students who are left-handed. Yes, people who write with their left hand.
You’ll also notice that with the exception of that one row, EVERY SINGLE OTHER DESK IN THE LECTURE HALL IS FOR THE REST OF THE POPULATION: RIGHTIES.
Do the math, and you can probably see the odds are immeasurably stacked against lefties to begin with. Only about 10% of the world is left-handed. Right-handed people have the luxury of sitting wherever they damn well please and still being able to write comfortably.
Left-handed people have the option of what row they would like to sit in, but definitely not the luxury of which column. And this scarce choice of seating options is being increasingly threatened daily with the right-handed people encroaching on our special row.
See the difference?
Often, I have to rush to class before some right-handed douche parks his ass in my seat. I mean, seriously? I can see your right hand awkwardly stretching across your entire body to jot some notes down on that tiny piece of desk. That can’t possibly be comfortable for you.
Why then, do you choose to sit there and make life harder for yourself, but more importantly, harder for me and every other left-handed person? Even worse is when that right-handed person is watching Netflix, not even paying attention to the lecture and in my spot.
Where right-handed people SHOULD sit
Do people sit in the lefty desks because they like to do what they know they shouldn’t? Because if yes, that shit isn’t cute. It’s bad enough we have to get special kitchen tools to peel our potatoes and get ink smudges all over our hand because we drag our hand across the paper.
Now the very seats in lecture hall that are intended for us are being used by inconsiderate right-handed students? This shouldn’t be. So next time your right-handed self is picking out a place to sit for class, for fuck’s sake, don’t sit in a lefty seat.
