I know that seat all too well. Whenever we go out to eat as a family my mother arranges it so I'm not jabbing anyone with my elbow.

My parents would always complain when I was a kid and set the table because every time I set it backwards. It was perfect for me, but didn't work for anyone else in my righty family.

I love being left-handed. Some solutions I use for the writing problems (I just finished several years of taking copious amounts of notes): 1) a notebook with tear-out pages. In these, the spiral seems to be set further away from the writing area, giving you more room to maneuver. 2) Use a pencil instead of a pen if possible. 3) If you must use a pen, do use an old-fashioned ballpoint that isn't too inky and sets quickly.

Invariably I still end up with smudged hand, but rarely are my notes smudged.
