mini-moan: you are all doing it wrong

For many, many, many years I've had numerous comments along the lines of 'Are you left handed?' or 'I didn't know you were left handed!', and the reason for this is despite being a righty I use my fork in my right hand and and knife in my left hand. And my response is always 'You do far more work with the fork so why would you hold it in your left (weaker) hand?'.

People of the world, you are all doing it wrong, all you righties should hold the fork in your right hand, and all the lefties in the left hand, but no, you are all doing it backwards and making my life more difficult because  when I sit down in a restaurant .etc. all the forks are placed on the wrong side of the table and I have to switch them about, this would also be annoying for left handed people but I don't care about them because being left handed is just weird. 

Why can't they just wrap the knives and forks in a napkin and place them in the middle so everybody can organise their place setting how they want?

It doesn't need to be this difficult.
