2024-Lefty Day. Every August 13 since 1976 international left hand day. As its name suggests, this day is dedicated to all people who preferentially use the left side of the body, and its purpose is to raise awareness of the inconveniences these people face every day in a world designed for right-handed people.
It is estimated that 10 to 15% of the world’s population is left-handed. Despite the large number of people with this tendency, this minority group has been historically disadvantaged.
The most common difficulties left-handers face in daily life include using desks and chairs in schools and colleges, needing to modify the instrument they want to play, and even mundane problems like using a windmill in the subway

Ned Flanders’ classic lefty shop from The Simpsons.
As for lefties, the bad luck has to do with the difficulty lefties have suffered over millennia in adapting to a right-handed world, forced to use their right hands.
