Can openers are also right handed, so annoying!

So can you really not use manual can openers?

I'm not PP but a super lefty. When I was younger, I would cross my hands over so my left hand operated the crank mechanism. Now that I'm older, I can operate it with my right hand but still hate it.

It looks like a PP posted left-handed options. Go with that.

This is me. No idea how people do it with their right hands. That said, spatulas have never bothered me. I just get the flat ones. Can openers are just a no go unless they are the automatic ones!

I'm an engineer, so if you are really into this, you could get one custom made. They would 3d print a mold and then you get the silicone poured. Probably would be super expensive for both ,but if you are handy you could do one or both at home.

I'd just go with buying something achiral (ie nonhanded) but that's just me.. (think a spoon, still has a divet, but isn't twisted).

I think it just doesn’t come through in the picture, but when you have them in your hand, it is obvious that they only work with the right hand.

guys! let's not let bow to the oppression. have we not suffered long enough in an upside-down world? Everyone wants us on their sports team, but when it comes to providing us with the tools we need to survive, like manual can openers and built-in cup holders, then it's all "become ambidextrous, it's so easy." Well if that's the case, why don't we teach all schoolkids to write cursive left-handed?

I rest my case.

Exactly! Also, there are varying degrees of left-handedness--it's not always as easy as "just do it right handed, my cousin Saul does, so it must be easy!" If switching is so easy, then let the righties switch!

OP--I feel your pain. I don't have an answer to your question, but can say that when I shop for spatulas, they have to be 100% reversible--not concave and spoon like on one side--and don't even get me started on the flipping kind of spatula that has angles built in.

I use ones like these (from this store!) https://www.surlatable.com/2856300-spat-lrg-dog/PRO-2856300.html?start=-23

I prefer them to be a bit thinner rubber so they're kind of flexible vs super stiff.
