Left or right handed?

Hank Scorpio

I write with my left, punch with my right, play pool with my left, throw with my right, play darts with my left and use the mouse with my right.

Could never make sense of it and it's hard to meet fellow lefties who can share their experiences. If only there was something like a leftorium for us weirdos. Is this normal, or am I a strange fellow.

Being a natural left hander forced to use my right, I feel discriminated against with only two options in the poll.

We had a very similar thread not too long ago, as I recall.

Should be an ambidextrous option in poll.

Crazyteacher

Ambidextrous.

I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

Also ambidextrous.

Soon all your kind will be gone forever Asher Green Raid.No longer will we hear stories about how nuns kicked the bollix out you for being left handed in school.

For the record I am also left handed.

I am totally and completely left handed until I went bowling for the first time a few weeks ago and found out I'm better right handed than left.

I'd do damage to myself if I tried to do that right handed.

Not a nun. A lay teacher. Tied my left hand behind my back for weeks on end.

I'm a leftie too. My dad went to school in Tipperary and he was beaten by the teachers too until he started to use his right hand.

What kind of sadist routinely beat little children anyway. Scum.

Same here. Does that make us lefties or ambidextrouses?

Rubberlegs

Right handed for most things but for some things such as putting the key in the door and opening bottles I favour my left hand . Two out of my three kids are lefties.

AirBiscuit

Only for writing I'm left-handed, I do everything else with my right.

Technically, ambidextrous means being able to use either hand equally for the same tasks. So writing right handed and throwing left handed is not being ambidextrous .

Same here as well, I think it just makes us messed up lefties

Sciprio

I'm left handed and do everything with it but i can also use a right handed scissors and computer mouse in any hand.

Senna

Whatever hand you wipe your ass with, that's your dominant hand.

gramar

I'm right handed but for hitting a ball say hurling or golf I hit off my left.

Four Phucs Ache

Right handed but now and then I write with left and have a giggle at the balls up on the page.

I prefer toilet paper, myself.

Del.Monte

Poll does not compute as I damn sure the vast majority of people are right handed or are Boardsies different to the general population? Sorry I asked that now.

I'm the same, I was left handed in junior infants and senior infants but at the time in the early 90s I was made change hands to write with my right hand. Because I was the only one in class who wrote left handed. Now I'm 27 my writing is atrocious, it's legible some of the time. Left arm is stronger and left leg and foot is too, but I shoot and kick with right side. So I feel your pain

Cantona's Collars

I'm ambidextrous, using tools I'll pick them up with and use whichever hand they're nearest to. Tin openers,scissors etc are no problem. I write left handed but can do it with my right.
