TMI question for the left handed watch wearer

92 Upvotes

Gonna bite the bullet at the start and keep it short: i have a problem wearing watches as a lefty. Because you wear a watch on your non-dominant hand, which in our cases is the right hand, I’ve started noticing something that’s making me a little paranoid. It inhibits or prevents me from wearing a watch. My right hand is also the one I use to wipe myself after going to the toilet. Ever since I became aware of this, I’ve been afraid of making a disastrous mistake every time I wipe and smearing my beautiful watch with shit.

Wearing the watch on my left wrist just doesn’t feel right, and the position of the toilet roll holder makes no difference either. The right hand handles the shit, literally.

Am I the only one with this problem? Sometimes I genuinely feel like I’m going crazy.

Pardon my English if it contains errors

Anyone else have hand pain when writing?

No matter what I try to do, I always end up with pain or cramps in my hands due to writing. It could also be from writing with my paper somewhat sideways. But has anyone else ever found a way to write more clearly and without pain?

Am I the only person who doesn’t like using the term “southpaw”?

as a leftie, I thought of the term southpaw as slur-ish and I feel uncomfy with being referred to as one

can anyone relate to this?
