Rarely- I learned to cut with right handed scissors- whichwas no small task for my mother. I am very left handed and as a small child would drop what she placed in my right hand and put it in my left. If it can't be used easily I don't buy it and find away to adapt what I have. My husband has begun to see my plite with cetain things and his creative juices kick in and he has resolved some issues I hadn't figured out how to yet. Course- I'm still the only one in this marriage in my right mind. ;)

Wow - I never realized before this thread that irons were biased towards righties. I always took it for granted that fighting with a cord was just part of ironing. My mind is blown...
Having two right-handed parents, nothing was catered to my brother or me (both lefties). Mom searched and searched for a store that sold leftie baseball mitts for him when he was 7 yo. He left it at the ball field, and that was the end of that. From then on, it was right-handed baseball mitts, scissors, and no special seats at the dinner table. Being lefty was always celebrated, but they did a good job of treating us how we would be treated in the "real world."
