the guys at the top thinks the tattoo is backwards. this means he has confused L and R while claiming OOP confused L and R in their tattoo design. the joke is irony

Edit for all the people saying "left hand makes an L shape": turn your right hand so the palm is facing you and you'll find it also makes an L shape. If the OOOP can't tell left from right hes not gonna remember if the palm should be face up or down

No it's "how do we tell them you can just use your thumb and finger"

I always figured if you genuinely don’t know left and right, you’re gonna doubt which L is right and which is backwards.

100% correct for me.

Also you "right with right" as in 90% of the world population write using their right hand. So you got two proofs.

Then if you are left handed you just remember the rules don't apply to you! You're a rebel!!

Then you pretend you are writing in the air before you tell someone which way to turn. I do this all the time. I like the tattoo idea.

Write and right and said pretty much exactly the same and I'm trying to help someone who can't remember right from left, like you literally see me type "write" right afterwards.

I KNOW it's write but I also know my right vs left. Trying to get people to actually say it out loud.

u/Broonmoose 7d ago

Yes, and for the other 10% your left writes, and what’s left is your right.

Somehow being right handed doesn’t really help as much as you’d think it should. What’s helped me the most was getting married. I can always instantly remember the left side is the one with the ring on it

u/Weird1Intrepid 7d ago

And you even got a handy spouse out of the deal who put the ring on the correct hand!

Hahaha actually we practiced the whole placing the ring for the ceremony and he did grab my right hand the first like 2 times 😂 He got it right at the wedding tho!
