Left Handed People Have a Tough Life (14 pics)

Anytime someone sees you writing with your left hand, they act amazed and then tell you all about a friend or relative they have that's also left handed. Like you guys might know each other, or something.


Every time you write a check mark, people ask why you made it backwards.


Every time you've ever written anything, this is your hand in the aftermath.


Using scissors like this feels like you're being tortured by Jigsaw in one of Saw movies.




You'd might as well throw thing thing in the trash because it's nearly impossible to write in.


Guitars never feel comfortable unless you buy one custom made for left handed people.


Plus it was way harder to win at Guitar Hero because you couldn't really use the whammy bar.




These were the worst in elementary school. You always looked insane trying to crank the sharpener with your non-dominant hand.


Dry erase boards are always a source of anxiety because half the things you write are going to be smeared off onto your hand and sleeve.


Thanks for being the devil, can openers!


If someone has one of these with their computer, you'd might as well keep walking because there's no way in the world you can use that thing.


Sports are frustrating because you can't use the regular golf clubs or baseball gloves.


You dream of a world with left handed water fountains.


Properly setting your table means everything is on the exact opposite side of where you need it.


Trying to eat in a booth is beyond annoying. You always have to sit on the end or otherwise you're bumping your neighbor the entire time.







Nomad Barista Portable Coffee Maker with Built-In Grinder

Nomad Barista was was a 1-month school project at International School of Design of Valenciennes where Johan Carrette, the designer, wanted to propose a new solution of coffee at work. You can read the text from the designer himself:



My main motivation was to create a new experience, a new way of consuming coffee. I discovered that self-milled coffee had much more taste. I wanted the final product to ally compactness and quality. Indeed, it includes directly a grinder in a wooden part to mill the coffee shortly before drinking.


The clay filters interest is twofold: First, it slows down the flow of water not to drawn the coffee and then, it improves the quality of water by blocking minerals. After some research I discovered that clay could be mixed with organic dust before cooking. This dust would burn and create gas which will make the clay porous.

Where Do Designer Dogs Come From?



Where Do Designer Dogs Come From?

Orbit Sink by Alessandro Isola

Saving space can be done elegantly, Alessandro Isola presents you with Orbit Sink. It’s a beautifully crafted, cool white Corian bathroom sink where each section is neatly stacked in the form of cylinder.


It creates an opposing disorderly aesthetic the second you swivel each circular compartment around its metal pivot point. It looks pretty cool, also the invisible metal spine conceals the sink drainage, making it possible to place this unit away from a wall, smart heh? After the first sink circle, there’s a contrasting chrome ring that functions as towel rail and soap tray surface, the other 3 swiveling circles beneath function as storage compartments to keep your bathroom essentials. Due to this unique design, it makes sense that Orbit Sink would become your bathroom focal point.
