Left or right handed?

Hank Scorpio · 28-10-2016 06:02PM #1

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 · 28-10-2016 06:17PM

Ambidextrous.

I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

Also ambidextrous.

I'm ambidextrous in my left hand.

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'm like that with something else.

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

I thought ambidextrous meant not understanding big words?:D:D

ollaetta · 28-10-2016 06:52PM

Edit: never thought about it til I read the previous post but I use the mouse on my right as well.

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 · 28-10-2016 07:31PM

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 · 28-10-2016 07:47PM

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 .
