    Leftys of the world unite, Flanders would be delighted.

    I'm lefthanded for most things apart from writing. I'm not sure why as I was never forced to write with my right hand.

    Try the tests here and here .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,584 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    yeh i say it is but it was just the way i started to mess with my bro's guitar and it then came natural.

    everything else bar using mouse (obivious reasons) i use my left and i'm proud to be left handed.

    left handers are said to be more intelligent :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,726 ✭✭✭quank


    im right handed but i put on a watch on my right wrist (my friends say that is the left hand way but meh) and i use a fork with my right and a knife with my left (is that usual left hand style:confused: )

    ANYWAY, bottom line is ......
    ......... LEFTIES ARE FREAKS! :D *wink*


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,148 ✭✭✭angelofdeath


    right-handed but play cs with left-handed models....hrmmm,ehh*shrugs*:rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,258 ✭✭✭✭Rabies


    left handed, but drink with right hand.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,005 ✭✭✭Creature


    I'm left handed, play guitar with my left hand but use my mouse with my right one.

    I say we stage a rebellion and try to overthrow the country.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,797 ✭✭✭Paddy20


    Yep, Left handed, footed, left eyed [best sight] and I dress naturally to the left. A real southpaw. Yeah. Even drive on the left !, think I am left- brained as well.

    P.:ninja::D :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,309 ✭✭✭✭Bard


    I'm a south-paw meself.

    We're a more creative, artistic, eclectic and eccentric bunch than the right handers, apparently... on account of the fact that we use the right side (creative centre) of our brains more.

    ... which is nice.

    Nope, that's not one of the characteristics of being a lefty:

    Medical literature reports that lefties more accident prone, are more likely to have their fingers amputated by power-tools, suffer more wrist fractures. Lefties are more susceptible to allergies, auto-immune diseases, bed-wetting, depression, drug abuse, epilepsy, hypnotism, low birth weight, schizophrenia, sleeping disorders, suicide attempts, and certain learning disabilities. Lefties are six times likelier to die in an accident, and four times to likelier to die while driving.
    (from here )

    Lovely

    I'm left handed but also use the mouse with my right-hand. I hate tin-openers, they're pieces of sh1t! Lefties of the world unite and overthrow the right-handed despots who make items like scissors such a pain.

    I think we should get our own forum. A place where we can talk about everything lefthanded. Let the us unite and demand our rights. They may take our lives but they will never take our freedom.

    Right handed and very proud to not be part of a bunch of people with time to discuss what hand they use more often????

    Who really cares??

    Maybe people did back in 1500's, but not now!

    By the way, if you wear your watch on your right hand, then your either a raging homo or a girl!!!:p :p:p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,081 ✭✭✭BKtje


    four times to likelier to die while driving
    Maybe lefties car insurance should go up :p

    a new tick box beside male/femal; left/right handed ;)
    Insurance company doing tests to make sure you are really left/right handed etc.

    Im a righty and from that webby posted i got all the right hand things so im a *true* righty :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,521 ✭✭✭Fabritzo


    I'm left-handed and use the mouse with my right but only becuase every mouse is setup as a right-handed mouse, I got tired of switching the mouse to left-handed in control panel and learned to use the right instead. Are your parents lefthanded as well people?

    Jesus be quiet will ya... if hibernian get wind of your post they'll put a 40% levy on left handed drivers


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 805 ✭✭✭Shamo


    I just write with my left hand, use my right hand for everything else, right footed aswell. I do hold a snooker cue the left handed way though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 687 ✭✭✭kano476


    me, im a bit wierd. i write with me left yet do almost everything else the right handed way. but there are somethings i can do just as well with both hands like throwing a frisbee, w*nkin, playing badminton, (but not tennis oddly) hammering nails, and brushing my teeth. also things like holding cups, fone etc i would do with either hand without thinking. i hold pool cues with left hand on the cue and right guiding. not sure which way that is though.

    i used to be able to write with both hands when i was learning to write but i think that happens with a lot of people.

    No, and my brother and sister arent either..... come to think of it... I dont know if ANY of my aunts or uncles are left handed (thats 13 on my mams side and 10 on my dads).... I suspect I may be the only one..
    When my granny was in school, people in her class who were left handed were made sit on their left hands when writing... and if they attempted to use their left hands they would get a whack......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,216 ✭✭✭phreak


    absolutely none of my relatives are left handed.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,139 ✭✭✭Sauron


    Im a left hander too...but I play Drums right handed...hold the mouse right handed... hold a golf club right handed....I can use both feet.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,154 ✭✭✭Oriel


    I'm left handed, only one in my family who is.
    I play the guitar, bass guitar, and golf right handed. Drums f!ck me up cause I'd playing them left handed, I need the hihat straight behind the snare.
    Erm...and I play the middle leg right-handed too :ninja:

    I play snooker left handed though. I hated it when I was yonger and people would buy me pens with my name etc on them, but when I wrote with them, the name would be upside down :mad:

    And don't get me started on writing with a fountain pen...
