And the enevitable PC support as everyone must be given a choice of RH or LH threads for jars and fasteners ...and strings. Aaaaaargh! Why don't they make right/left-handed velcro shoes for that matter? Ok, facetious again. [which is the only word in English where all the vowells are in alphabetical order. Off-topic enough? I was always the kid who got lost on the museum field trips]

Actually, I find Martin's Syndrome interesting: It means, like many of us, he prefers to seperate his elbows to open the jar. To put the left hand on top involves bringing the elbows together. It may be simply a question of strength (or preference) which is, I think, seperate from handedness.

I unscrew lids (as does my wife, who is also RH) by holding the jar in
my RH and doing the unscrewing with my left.

I'm a lefty who holds the jar with the left hand to unscrew with the right. [Caution: the following is wholly facetious] One day we'll have justice and
a whole line of products packaged in properly left-handed jars!

Best,
