This is funny (and even moreso for me, as I am a lefty) - but culture viewed being left-handed as outright evil - even into the mid-20th century. My grandmother was "converted" (read: tortured) into being right-handed. I mean, it went so far back that, to this day, the right eye is known as "Oculus Dexter" (OD) and the left eye is "Oculus Sinister" (OS).

Scary, huh?
