What do scissors, potato peelers and writing all have in common? They’re all designed for people who use their right hands. Only 10 per cent of people are left-handed, and when living in a right-handed world, sometimes things can be difficult. It does, however, supposedly give you an advantage in sports and make you a better fighter, so it’s not all bad.
Down at Big W Gympie, there are quite a large number of left-handed people who work in the store. It’s also International Lefthanders Day this Saturday 13 August, and so Big W Gympie Supervisor Priscilla Nelson thought why not get all the lefties together to celebrate.
“It’s not very often that you find so many people in one store that are left-handed,” she said.
“When you’re a left-hander, people always seem to pick it up.”
With over 10 people in the one store apart of the lefty club, it was too big of a coincidence to ignore. This Saturday, celebrate the lefties in your life. Who knows when you might been another player for your team or help in a brawl.
