Products that have bad User Experience (UX) for the Left-handed people

Unfortunately many of the products that we use on a daily basis are designed to be used only for the right-handed people. Lets look at some of them:

AH55177A
Measuring cups.

Watches' winding buttons; used to set the time; are on the wrong side. When worn on the left hand by right-handed people, it is easy to use the winding button. But if a left-handed person wears the same on his right-hand, he will have to take the watch off to wind it.

In the pants/jeans/trousers, the flap over the zipper opens on the right side.

Handheld-Camera
The camcorders' shutter-buttons & controls are always on the right.

Same as above.

WRITINGleft-hand_notebook
Spiral-bound-notebooks - The spiral is on the right making it extremely difficult for the left-handed people to write. The only solution is shown above - Use spiral notebooks backwards (front cover becomes the back and vice versa).

Driver's cup holder is for the right hand.
The cup-holder is always on the right.

These desks.
These desks are specifically for the right-handed.


These scissors can't be used by the left-handed.
