As a left-handed person, I can definitely confirm I've encountered handedness bias plenty of times in my life.

Just like with other "defaults" in things like race and sexual orientation, right-handed people typically don't think of themselves as having a certain handedness until it's explicitly pointed out.

Try being a paperclip collector for a day...

Is there handedness for paperclips?

No. A paperclip's spiral direction can be inverted by rotating it to the other side.
