Lefthandedness -- "Being left-handed is like being in a secret club. We have our own bizarre initialization rituals, such as learning how to write "the wrong way." We pay our dues every day, in terms of the extra effort that we must make to live in a right-handed world. When we encounter another lefty, we immediately have something in common. The club is shrouded in secrecy, because we rarely mention the topic to our right-handed friends."

Workaround for pockets on the wrong side for left-handed ease of use on clothing: Make your own clothes, then you can put the pockets where you want them to be.
