Are you right or left-handed? Or ambidextrous?

[Pike]

If you are left-handed, what's it like living in a Righty's world?

For everyone else, are there certain things you seem to do better with a certain hand?

[theundeadhero]

I'm right-handed but apparently eat things with a knife backwards- using the knife in my right and the fork with my left.

[Jess]

I'm left handed for writing/drawing. But I can do the majority of other stuff with my right hand, too.

Except opening tins. God damn you, right handed tin openers! :(

[Shauna]

I am pretty right-handed, with little skill for doing stuff with my left.

Wait, that's not how you are supposed to do it?

[Madame Adequate]

Yeah I'm right-handed but eat left-handed too. It's because my mom is left-handed so she would always set out my stuff that way when I was a kid and I got used to it.

[Shorty]

Southpaws unite! :jess:

I broke my left arm right at the joint of my elbow a few years ago, and have had to use my right to do lots with because the strain is still painful and will likely never go away.

[Madame Adequate]

This thread just got rather sinister :erm:

[Shorty]

how

[Madame Adequate]

Because a left-handed person posted in it.

[Shauna]

Well, might as well just put this thread to bed after that display...

[Shorty]

oh man am I the only lefty to post here so far D: Behind enemy lines!

[Jess]

I'm right-handed, unfortunately. I wish I was left-handed. I'm not sure why, but I find left-handed people incredibly sexy. :shobon:
:joey:

EDIT: ...where the hell did that go?

I'm a lefty, Shorty. Lefties are the best! My boyfriend is a lefty too.

I swear that used to be joey! And I swear it used to look different! :confused:

[Shauna]

It did used to be joey, but it was changed in 2006/7 to jokey. x}

[Dat Matt]

Righty here. The poll currently sitting at 7-1 for righties makes sense. Apparently 10% of the popluation is leftly.

That being said, I tend to do a lot of things with my left hands, It is my primary hand for typing, I open stuff like bottles and cans left handed etc.

[Ayen]

I'm left-handed. I do everything with my left-hand and can't do anything worth trout with my right. My brother used to be left-handed too until a teacher forced him to do everything with his right-hand. Because I guess being left-handed is a disease or something. All I know is that was why mom pulled him out of school and home schooled him. It's probably a big reason she home schooled me as well.

Apart from having to move my silverware and drink to the left because people assume I'm right-handed, I don't get much trouble.

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

I'm a lefty, but there's a lot of things I do around the house with right.

I use my right hand to cut with scissors while my left holds the paper. I cut steak with the knife in my right hand and fork in the left. I play a right handed guitar (but so do most people).

I've never understood why the average guitar is considered a right handed instrument. Your hand on the neck is the one that's doing all the hard work.

I'm assuming the hand you write with is what's determined as your dominant hand. I'll put left in the poll.

[Shauna]

Because I guess being left-handed is a disease or something.

Not a disease, no.

A sign of the devil.

You guys don't have regular chats with Satan?

[Vermachtnis]

I'm right handed and have two left feet. Also, for the longest time I thought it was omnidextrous. It sounds cooler.

[Casey]

I write with my right hand. Have more coordination with my left hand throwing and punching.

[blackmage_nuke]

I'm right handed but I try to use my left hand for strength based tasks to balance out my arms

[Jiro]

I know people who are right hand dominant but left foot dominant. It's really weird.

[Quindiana Jones]

My left side is typically more dexterous (word?) than my right for certain things. But I'm right handed.

[theundeadhero]

It did used to be joey, but it was changed in 2006/7 to jokey. x}No. It was jokey until 2006, then they changed it to joey. Now it's back to being jokey :jokey:

[Raistlin]

Right-handed.

Wait, that's not how you are supposed to do it?

There is nothing wrong with this. Though according to 1960s table manners of pompous white Americans, you're supposed to cut your food with the knife in your right hand, and then switch the fork to your right hand to actually eat. For some reason it is considered uncouth to simply raise the fork to your mouth while it is still in your left hand after you just cut off that piece of food.

The rational members of society don't give a trout.

[Jiro]

That sounds like a waste of time.

[Scotty_ffgamer]

I'm pretty much only right-handed. I used to try to write all my notes in college with my left hand for some of my classes just as a means to keep from getting bored. I haven't done that since Sophomore year, though. I'm pretty sure my left-handed writing is back to looking awful.

[Sephex]

Right handed. Most exciting poll 2014.

[Shorty]

I'm a lefty, Shorty. Lefties are the best! My boyfriend is a lefty too.

oh man, I'm sorry! Didn't mean to leave you out xD

I sat next to a gal I just met at dinner tonight and as we were both signing our checks, she said, "Are you a lefty?!" to which I responded, "hell yeah I'm a lefty!" And then we lefty-fived :jess:

[Miss Mae]

I'm right-handed. I really badly damaged my right wrist when I was 15 though in a swimming pool, so when that's flaring up I get particularly good at using my left hand for things. Still wouldn't go as far as saying I'm ambidextrous though.

[Pike]

Most exciting poll 2014.

Kiss my shiny metal posterior :aimkiss:

[Bubba]

I perform the majority of my activities using the hand that is located on the right side of my body.

Such activities include drinking, eating chips, waving, saluting and stroking pets.

[Tigmafuzz]

I can write with either hand, and I sketch with my right but paint with my left. I cut my food either way and eat with either hand, depending on however I picked up the utensils. I can play guitar right- or left-handed, which is helpful for keeping my dexterity up in both hands. Plus I can play piano "backwards," playing bass and treble parts inverted, making for some interesting pieces. But I can't clip my toenails with my left hand for some reason. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
