Would you get your shirt buttons placed on the left? Or go with convention?

Being left handed, I have a hard time using my left hand to button my shirt.

Left handed scissors, great. Left handed buttons... no.

Somethings should just not be messed with.


PS I wonder how many lefties use their left hand for their computer mouse.

I get my pockets on the right side, but never thought of changing the buttons

Most lefties have to be quite adaptive, living in a right-handed world.

I am left-handed and find buttoning jackets up much easier the right-handed way. I also use mice with my left hand just because thats how they were set up when I was six and learning how to use a computer.

My mouse is on the left, I open combo locks and shoot using my left hand, prefer right-handed scissors, thread belts to the left, all other clothing-related stuff is default (right-handed) setting.
