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

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.
This thread just got rather sinister :erm:
how
Because a left-handed person posted in it.

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.
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.
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.
Not a disease, no.Quote:

I'm right handed and have two left feet. Also, for the longest time I thought it was omnidextrous. It sounds cooler.
I write with my right hand. Have more coordination with my left hand throwing and punching.
I'm right handed but I try to use my left hand for strength based tasks to balance out my arms
I know people who are right hand dominant but left foot dominant. It's really weird.
My left side is typically more dexterous (word?) than my right for certain things. But I'm right handed.
No. It was jokey until 2006, then they changed it to joey. Now it's back to being jokey :jokey:Quote:

Right-handed.
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.Quote:

That sounds like a waste of time.
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.
Right handed. Most exciting poll 2014.
oh man, I'm sorry! Didn't mean to leave you out xDQuote:

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.
Kiss my shiny metal posterior :aimkiss:Quote:

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

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)_/¯
