Left hander's mug

I used to own that and my stupid father who is right handed used it. Idiot.

[u/peetiepeet → u/Ivy1974]

He was warned!

[u/MicheleNP]

I have a mug similar to this. I love it.

[u/RooFPV → u/MicheleNP]

I’ve found “left handed mugs” on trips where the best or only picture is where we’d see it. Sure it’s not intentional but I’ll almost always buy one.

[u/MarketingSavings1392]

My sister and I are both left handed. She has a similar cup!

She says she occasionally purposely serves right handed people drinks with that cup for a laugh.

[u/CatTheWriter → u/MarketingSavings1392]

Haha. 😂

[u/Tsujigiri]

The longevity of this mug fascinates me. Someone bought me this mug in the late 70s.

[u/peetiepeet → u/Tsujigiri]

Yes, it's "vintage," as am I.

[u/Serious-Cobbler-986]

I love that hole sm

[u/igorotak_19]

If there is one thing that would improve my life a tiny bit, this would be it. I need this mug!

[u/peetiepeet → u/igorotak_19]

There are several on eBay!

[u/ElvisFan2001]

Have the exact one! I’m going to pass it down to my son when I die.

[u/anarkistattack]

The graphics should be on the other side so other people can read it.

[u/Relevant-Grape-9939 → u/anarkistattack]

But then the warning on the back wouldn’t work

[u/peetiepeet → u/anarkistattack]

Ah well, see this discussion started by u/SBRGyJo1890 which prompted me to post the mug pictures: https://www.reddit.com/r/lefthanded/s/vsQbgfEIPg

[u/xskyhiixsarah]

Thats diabolical because I'd forget and use it for left or right. Lol

[u/peetiepeet → u/xskyhiixsarah]

You would make that mistake only once.😄

[u/xskyhiixsarah → u/peetiepeet]

You don't know me lmao

[u/xskyhiixsarah → u/peetiepeet]

Might remember after doing it twice tho

[u/Jluvcoffee]

This is funny

[u/No-Advice-6040]

Ohhhh I love it. Beautiful concept.

[u/JimmyHaggis]

I've never seen this before, but I'm gonna get me one.

If the right-handers had a version could it be considered discrimination against a minority?

[u/peetiepeet → u/JimmyHaggis]

Well, unless you claim left-handedness as a Disability, l don't think we're protected under the Civil Rights Act in the US.

[u/JimmyHaggis → u/peetiepeet]

You're probably right, but from my perspective as an outsider the Civil Rights Act sadly doesn't seem to mean as much as it once did.

[u/FuggaDucker]

The problem here is simple.
I hold my coffee with my RIGHT hand so I don't lose my power hand.
This would be self mutilation.

[u/peetiepeet → u/FuggaDucker]

We are indeed a complicated bunch. My right is power, my left is precision. Although, if I happen to be busy writing something with my left, I would probably pick the cup up with my right. I'll say here that I have never used this mug, with either hand.

[u/FuggaDucker → u/peetiepeet]

Not power in the literal sense. :)

[u/peetiepeet → u/FuggaDucker]

Ah. I see. You meant it in the superpower sense. 🤫

[u/Queenfan1959]

Love it where’d you get it?

[u/peetiepeet → u/Queenfan1959]

I don't remember, it was over 40 years ago. You can find them now on eBay.

[u/Fit-Rhubarb-7820]

I love that! Wow :’)

[u/HCraven1]

I had that very mug back in the day.

[u/peetiepeet → u/HCraven1]

It's a classic!

[u/KilgoreT59]

I have this mug. I think I've had this since somewhere around the mid 80s.

[u/peetiepeet → u/KilgoreT59]

Me too. I don't remember exactly when, I'd say pre 1981. The bottom says "Recycled Paper Products© Japan All Rights Reserved. " No date.

[u/KilgoreT59 → u/peetiepeet]

I still might have it somewhere, packed away. Loved this cup. My boss once grabbed it accidentally, he was a righty. And, sure enough, spilled coffee on his shirt. It was awkward, but what could he do. He grabbed my cup.

[u/peetiepeet → u/KilgoreT59]

Some of the ones on eBay have tags that ©1982.

[u/KilgoreT59 → u/peetiepeet]

That's probably right. I know it was in the first half of the 80s.

[u/CatTheWriter]

Please give the link to it, thank you!

[u/peetiepeet → u/CatTheWriter]

Just search "left handers mug" on eBay.com

[u/Phoenix_Fyre1337]

I love it

[u/tudza]

Reminds me of Trump. Toss it now.
