This is a question "You're doing it wrong"

Chthonic confesses: "Only last year did I discover why the lids of things in tubes have a recessed pointy bit built into them." Tell us about the facepalm moment when you realised you were doing something wrong.

I have a cheapo tin opener
much like the specimen shown here

As you can see, the wider handle, which sits in the palm of your hand, is ergonomically angled to fit comfortably in the right hand (to my simple, physics student mind). My problem is, if i'm holding it with my right hand, I have to then cross my arms over to be able to twist the thing and open the tin.

What am I doing wrong?!

I have one like that and I hold it in my left and turn the wheely bit with my right... I can't imagine it would be comfortable in your right hand?
