Not an affliction but a quality! Especially if ambidextrous....
Sports...being ambidextrous was the challenge. I was R handed throwing & bowling, L handed hitting & swinging. For other tasks, I'm R handed eating, L handed writing, though my R hand penmanship is way better than the L hand. (L is faster & the bank would have a fit if I changed hands at this age).
Can put R side of my face makeup on w/R hand, L side with L hand. If one hand isn't working, just switch! Same goes for painting - one hand gets tired, use the other.
I learned how to knit & other R handed lessons by watching someone do techniques in a mirror, then it's just like a L handed person. I use R handed scissors & L handed rotary cutter. I just practice with both hands & figure out which one works best.
Things could be a whole bunch worse.
I'd make more mug rugs w/pockets on the other side & have a selection for individual preference : )
