There's the obvious ones: Scissors, normal ones just don't work. Fountain pens, writing left to right, and having your trailing left hand to smudge it all up isn't nice.
Then there's the inconspicuous ones: screws, coffeemakers (pot on the right usually), saucepans: I'm the lucky owner of one that has 2 pouring thingies (one on each side). Most have one, on the left hand side when used by a right hander. On the left hand side for a left hander. Impossible to use. Try pouring to the 'outside' from a full pot. (that's clockwise for northpaws)
But, worst of all: Stringed instruments... I had to get myself a left handed guitar. Not only did it cost approximately twice what the right handed version cost, but try to learn playing guitar, when virtually every manual out there shows the mirror image of what you're supposed to do. I'm not a very good guitar player...
But then again, that's just me, not me being a lefty...
