Lefties are the people that make sure the world is not always right. They are the left-out. In great demand, but limited supply. In honor of all the southpaws across the globe here are 10 reasons it's great to be left-handed.

The main analog stick on almost all entertainment systems is located on the left side of the controller. This allows for players to have more control than right handed players.
3. Eating dinner

When eating with a fork and knife righties have to switch hands after cutting in order to eat with the fork. Left handed people naturally have the fork already in their left hand.
4. It's a fighting advantage

Being left handed scientifically forces the brain to act faster. Therefore when trying to do two separate things, they are more efficient.

Speaking of multitasking, bet you didn't think about this one. Yes, computer mouses are on the right, so naturally a left-handed person can type effectively and move a mouse.
9. They spend less time waiting

How is this possible? Because when faced with a line righties tend to go right and lefties go left, therefore there are always less people on the lines to the left.
10. They stand out from the rest

Being left-handed is a secret gift. Only 10 percent of the population is left-handed. All the complaints about the shape of desks and ink on their hands doesn't matter when science shows lefties live longer!
