She’s Just Jealous Because Her Left Hand Is Useless
I’m a Caucasian woman, and I’m rather lazily eating sushi and reading on my phone in a food court while waiting for a movie. Suddenly, a woman storms up to me, demanding angrily:
Woman: “Who are you trying to impress?”
Me: “I— What? No one.”
Woman: “Everyone can eat with chopsticks.”
Me: “Oh. Okay. Well, I’m just eating sushi. I’m not trying to impress anyone.”
Woman: “Yeah. ‘Cause everyone can eat with chopsticks.”
Me: “Okay. If everyone can use chopsticks, then how would I be trying to impress anyone?”
Woman: “You’re using your left hand!”
Me: “What? I’m left-handed.”
Woman: “That’s ridiculous.”
Me: “What?”
Woman: “Left-handed is for writing.”
Me: *Pause* “What?”
Woman: “Just because you write with your left hand, it doesn’t mean you have to show off.”
Me: “Seriously? I do everything with my left hand. I’m left-handed.”
Woman: “Left-handed people write with their left hand. You can do everything else normally. You shouldn’t show off.”
Me: “I— I’m sorry you think I’m showing off, but I really can’t use chopsticks with my right hand any more than you can with your left.”
She was so upset that I put my chopsticks and phone down and ate the last few pieces with my right-hand fingers.
