Try it and see if it feels weird to you. Everyone knows that the scissor blades ONLY work when it is operated by the right hand because of the way the blades are designed and oriented. One actually needs a special pair of left-handed scissors to cut up things with their left hand. However, as the majority of the population is right handed, right handed people tend to take scissor usage for granted. As right handed kids, you may have teased left handed kids for not being able to cut things properly during art lessons.
