One instance in particular which sticks in my mind.
When about 12 yrs old. And milking cows in the parlor, it was handier to wash the cow's udders with the left on one side. And use the right hand on the other side of the parlor. Rather than have to reach around backhanded to use the right hand on the one side of the parlor.
My folklore believing, superstitious GrandFather proceeded to give me a blast for "using the wrong hand". I had had about enough of his "sundogs, moondogs, amount of black on caterpillars etc. And his insistence on saving money by doing projects "halfa$$ed" two or three times. Instead of doing the job properly the 1st time.
I pointed out how awkward it was to reach around the cow/pipework. Take longer, do a poorer job washing. And put ones self at a higher risk for a broken arm should the cow kick. Then asked how anybody could be so STUPID and lacking basic common sense.
He started to wind up to give me a swat and another verbal blast. As I looked down at him. He realized earlier that day I had carried more hay bales and stacked them higher than he could as well.
Some muted grumbling from him and he always treated me differently after than.
