As an aside, Jack the Ripper was believed to have been left handed. 😲

“Throughout human history left-handedness has been considered as sinful. It has been associated with the devil, weakness, female gender, unhealthiness, evil, something that has to be turned to a "good"--right side by force.”

Are you saying 'admitting' you're evil??? 😛

In Indonesia it is considered somewhat uncouth to hand something to someone with your left hand. I would imagine that the same convention applies in plenty of other countries.

What culture uses left hand to wipe?

In the Republic of Sudan, a Muslim country in eastern Africa 10,000 kilometers away from Japan, it is common to wash hands before 5 daily prayers, after a meal and during excretion. During excretion, the left hand is used to wipe the buttocks. Apr 14, 2017.

Why visitors to Indonesia should avoid using their left hand ...
In Indonesia, the left hand is traditionally perceived as the hand used to clean oneself after going to the toilet. When shaking hands, offering a gift, giving or receiving something, eating, pointing or touching someone, among other things, it is considered proper etiquette to only use the right hand.

Close Gooster!!! 🙂

Research suggests that between ten and twelve percent of the world's population is left-handed. Even though being left-handed might mean struggling with right-handed scissors from time-to-time, there are plenty of reasons being a lefty is pretty cool!

I have always found my stronger right hand is far more effective at wiping.
