LONDON — Every day has to be a day nowadays and today is Left Handers Day.

It's "a chance to tell your family and friends how proud you are of being left-handed, and also raise awareness of the everyday issues that lefties face as we live in a world designed for right-handers."

Left handers are in the minority (around one in ten people are left handed) but there are many reasons why being part of the gang rocks.

For starters, we've produced numerous heroes in the fields of music, art, sport and politics.

Like Hendrix.

And Barack Obama.

Countless cricketers.

Peter Paul Rubens.

Hans Holbein.

And Leonardo da Vinci.

If that's not enough, we also share our left handedness with kangaroos.

We fight awful stigmas every day.

And have to surmount numerous problems as we go about our left-handed business.

Taking notes in a right-handed world is a nightmare.

And scissors pose all kinds of problems.

I’m left-handed but use right-handed scissors with my left hand. I can’t use left-handed scissors #lefthandersday #lefties — GRXXD. (@ThisIsCharleson) August 13, 2015

Don't even get us started on playing cards.

@DanielSolis these are the different ways I hold normals cards. None are particularly comfy. pic.twitter.com/JX3aLUEGfS — Nelly (^-人-^) (@nellybellexox) November 6, 2014

Despite all that, we're thought to be more creative than the right-handed masses.

High five, left-handed people of the world!
