I think if I had to choose a hand I would choose the right, just because we write left to right and I wouldn’t want to track my hand through fresh pencil and pen marks.

My friend in highschool was left handed and his left hand was always completely covered in graphite.

Yeah I definitely didn’t think it through, because too small lol.

I too suffered the graphite mark and even had it transfer to my face via scratching an itch. Very embarrassing as a kid!

I also had a tough time with spiral notebooks, markers, and craft scissors.
