Do you use your dominant or weaker hand to open a bottle (or can, if you don't open bottles)? I'm just curious because I saw my brother open a bottle of cola with his weaker hand yesterday and it made me wonder.
I use my dominant hand to open bottles and cans, because my weaker hand is useless at everything :p
I don't know why, but it's easier with my weaker hand.
Always with the dominant hand. The other hand is busy.
My dominant hand. My weaker hand is way, way weaker. It wouldn't help much ><
Sometimes I can't use either :(
I try to use both hands the same... in case something happens and I can't use one.
My handedness is confusing. I only do one thing with my left hand. Sadly, that thing is writing. So, I don't know if my right hand is dominant or my left is...
One of my hands is a hook so I don't really have a choice.
From now on, I shall call you Buster. :cool:Quote:

Then the stuff would leak everywhere, and there would be a big mess. Then where would that leave him? In a kitchen with a problem on his hand.Quote:

Stab a hole near the top? But I do see your point, it would be quite messy.
I use my dominant hand to open things.
I open bottles with the same hand I use to slap my bitches. Gimme my money!
It's usually the weaker hand for me since I use the dominant one to get a grip of what I'm opening...
I use my tentacles. All twelve of them. At once. On one jar.
Could you use your tentacles to open more than one jar at a time, or is it a principle thing?
The neat way about how moments works: if you twist opposite sides the opposite ways, the moments will add together instead of cancelling out. Ergo, you use both hands to open a bottle (twisting action). The question is which hand you hold the thing with where. (unless you guys are weirdos and leave one wrist straight and stiff, that's not very efficient!)
I hold the container/jar/bottle in my right hand and twist the cap with my left.
Well, if the jars are small and I can get my suckers around them, I can open multiple jars. But I use my tail sometimes too.
That's pretty neat foa. And I meant the top hand rubah, just so you know, we're not that weird :)
EDIT: Unless you open stuff upside down, in which case it's the bottom. Let's just say relative to the opening of the can/bottle/jar :)
I guess if you define opening hand as hand touching the lid, it's my left hand!
I also use my left hand to open cans, unless they're soup cans, then I use a knife.
I use both hands, depending on how I feel in the situation.
Both because I care about physics and because sometimes, one hand just plain feels lazy.
Try reading this thread as individual posts, and disregard any context. It's getting kinda naughty. :cool:
Bottles. :gruffi:
I usually use my dominant hand, but, if I happen to have something non-carbonated (like a can of Hawaiian Punch), I like to use my teeth.

Uh... you should have a non-dominate hand option
I am very obviously right handed, but my left arm is stronger than my right.
However, I flip back and forth. I can go either way really. It doesn't matter which is on top.
uh... that last statement could so be looked at the wrong way.:Eek:
I had seen this coming, so I clarified when I originally posted. :DQuote:

I could swear there's a special word for non-dominant, but I couldn't think of it. So, to avoid looking like a tool, I opted for "weaker". Seems I lost anyway! :pQuote:

according to yaridovich, perhaps 'submissive' is the choice word here. .Quote:

(Right handed, btw.)
I use my dominant hand for everything. My weaker hand is only good for one thing.
My SUPER STRONG hand
I open bottles with my dominant hand but both my hands are of approximately equal strength so its more of a co-ordination thing. I can open them just as tirelessly with my weaker hand but sometimes I turn it the wrong way.
This thread reminds me of the butler from scary movie 2
I have my monkey open my bottles for me.
Time to be confusing.
I use my right hand to open the bottle cap because I put all of my +dex talent points on the right hand, and grip the bottle with my left hand because I put all of my +str talent points on my left hand.
That said, I still don't know which hand has a strong grip.
I use my ass cheeks.
I use my right hand and hold it in my left but if its hard to open I hold it in my right and use my left. I dont know how it helps but it does, Im right handed.
I use my weak hand, I have no idea why, I didn't think anything of it. My right is definatly my strongest but I use my left for things too, it just depends :jokey:
I use my non-dominant hand. I can always open cans, but I'm terrible at bottles/jars etc. as my grip is pathetically weak due to many years of compulsive knuckle cracking on top of being a girl.
Mostly because you're a girl! :lol: You girl!Quote:

Hey look a cow!
The last time I tried to open a coca-cola bottle with my weak hand I accidentally the whole bottle.
THE WHOLE THING?Quote:
