Left-handed, Right-handed, Or Both?

[The_fishy]

What the title says.

I am ambidextrous, but generally prefer my left hand for writing/eating and my right for most sports/physical activity (except fencing and archery).

 

[nikm128]

Right handed, if I try to write with my left you'd think a kindergartner wrote it

 

[windrunner9189]

i'm right-handed

 

[kallililly1973]

I'm right handed but if you seen my writing you would think a kindergartner wrote it ( shoulda been a DR. I missed my calling with my penmanship. Oh wait u need 8-12 years of college for that too )

 

[justinwhitening]

I'm right handed, but my older brother is ambidextrous.

 

[david1978]

When I write things down people think neither.

 

[AJE]

I’m right handed, but by my hand writing you would think I was left jawed

 

[JenC]

Right-sided in all ways: writing, kicking or throwing a ball, first foot up and down the stairs.

It's interesting how a body subconsciously adjusts. My right foot is always the first to step up or down on a staircase. Without even thinking about it, I adjust my stride towards the stairs to make that happen.

 

[SFGiantsGuy]

I'm ambidextrious as well; I write with my right hand, bat left, but baseball glove would go in the right hand. If I were to punch something, my strongest arm is my left. If I were to fire a sidearm, I'd fire it left as well. Oh, and when I scrape algae with a Mag-Float, I use my right hand...weird.

 

[Brizburk]

I'm right dominant, however I can play hockey left or right. At work I can do blood draws and start IVs either hand. I'm not sure what that's called, I certainly can't write with my left hand....

 

[smee82]

I'm ambidextrous, I use both but my right slightly more. I eat left handed but write right handed.
I Kick left footed, play tennis with both hands, and golf and cricket with my right. Oh and I can use chopsticks in either hand

 

[AJE]

What about everyone’s eyes? I’m right eye dominant

 

[nikm128]

When I write things down people think neither.

So you're a doctor then?

I used to also step off with my right foot, but in marching band you're supposed to step off with your left. So now I almost always lead with my left when I walk, or climb stairs.

 

[The_fishy]

I’m left eye dominant.

 

[CanadianFishFan]

When writingng, right. When in the fish tank, both

 

[Brizburk]

What about everyone’s eyes? I’m right eye dominant

No idea - how do you know?

 

[windrunner9189]

What about everyone’s eyes? I’m right eye dominant

i'm ambidextrous between all four of my eyes.

 

[Dawn Michele]

IM right handed!!!

 

[grump299]

I was left handed until I was 19 when I was in an accident and 2 surgeries, 11 months in a cast on my left hand and 2 years Thrapy to learn how to use my hand again in which time I learned to use my right hand.

 

[The_fishy]

No idea - how do you know?

You hold out you hands and make a triangle with your thumbs and pointers. Center something small within the triangle. Close one eye, open it, then close the other. If the object moves out of the triangle when one eye is closed, the closed eye is dominant.

 

[AJE]

No idea - how do you know?

Which one do you put a telescope to?

 

[Fanatic]

I am right handed for mostly anything, but left handed when playing basketball.

 

[MaximumRide14]

I'm left handed! It gets annoying when I have to take tests and I smudge lead or pen ink on my finger... doesn't help that I had an AP test today and other finals before lol

my school has right-handed desks in so many classrooms

(I always feel super bad)

Ahh! It's also a struggle for me to use scissors. I once went to a store that had all left-handed stuff, that was pretty cool.

 

[Prest12]

I’m left handed. I can barely even hold a pencil in my right hand.

Writing on whiteboards is always great fun.

Right-handed desk? How does that work?

 

[windrunner9189]

Right-handed desk? How does that work?

it's a school desk, but there is an arm rest on one side, which in this case is the right side.

Oh yes. It just all disappears!

Oh. All of our desks are like that too. It never occurred to me that it is for right handed people.

 

[SFGiantsGuy]

Probably one of the oddest things was when taking your driver's stest...kinda biased in some ways with certain things...almost like in Europe where everyone drives on their "correct side" of the roads...

 

[nikm128]

Yes, in the U.S. we quite literally drive on the right side of the road. European steering wheels are all on the wrong side though

 

[Crispii]

Right-handed for me.

 

[LeahsTank]

You just described me exactly. Well, I’ve never tried fencing and archery...

But most tasks are probably right handed for me, while any fine motor skills are all left handed.

I've actually attempted to become ambidextrous through practicing with my right hand. It's legible but still feels uncomfortable and takes longer. Maybe it'll be a challenge for the summer haha. I used to do fencing and I must say that it is an advantage to be left handed. Most don't expect it, except my twin who is also left handed

 

[DoubleDutch]

Righthanded mostly (writing, tennis, hitting, shooting : left eye leading) but strangely left handed on certain specific things (throwing, golf, aso). Impossible to throw something righthanded hahaha.

 

[Shade89]

I'm right-handed but I love both hands equally

I could fence right, but why give up that advantage? XD Also, I am left eye dominant, so it’s slightly easier to do left.

 

[nikm128]

I tried driving a manual car with the wheel on the right side, let's just say I should never try to change gears with my left again

Visited Ireland in 2018 : same problem hahaha

 

[Algonquin]

Right handed, but hold a hockey stick like a lefty.

 

[mattgirl]

Lefty all the way here. A few years ago my left had got damaged. I wasn't able to use it for close to a year. Still doesn't work as well as it did before the damage but still better than trying to use my right hand for writing. Anything I had to write during that time was worse than the hen scratching doctors have perfected

30 or so years ago I finally got tired of ink on my hand and smeared text from writing upside down so trained myself to write right side up. It took a LOT of practice but I was determined. Penmanship isn't what it was before but no more ink on my hand.

 

[nikm128]

Yeah...turns out I actually sheared a few teeth of some gears.....

How's that? Which hand on top?

 

[DoubleDutch]

Yep and the space on the left of the car is smaller somehow

 

[MomeWrath]

Ambidextrous.
I write on flat surfaces left-handed, on vertical surfaces right-handed, because when I was a kid we didn't even have whiteboards...just chalk, and it's too hard to get the proper left-handed writing position on a board.
I play pool left handed but can switch-hit on the wrong side of the table if needed. I avoid other sports because I both catch and throw with my right which makes baseball a challenge. I am so left eye dominant that I have no functional depth perception so batting and tennis and the like are out anyway.
I shoot pistol right handed but left eyed, and can also shoot left handed, I shoot long guns left handed because my right eye is less than useless for sighting.
I play the violin right-handed too. But really you need both hands to work together to play it anyway. Never understood left-handed instruments...
I use most right-handed things that most people do, like scissors. I use rulers upside down which is super frustrating. I use a knife with my right hand.
Oh, I'm also an artist and I can paint with both hands.

Lol, 10 out of freaking 10 mate

How do you hold cue? I hold it with my right and support the end with my left. I assume that would be playing right handed?

 

[Addie42]

I am right handed but everything I did in dance was better on my left side (turns, flexibility) so I think I maybe should've been left handed but just learned to write with right since that's more encouraged

 

[MomeWrath]

Left hand on the butt and right hand at the front is generally considered "lefty" so yeah you are doing it right handed.

 

[WillR1496]

I'm right handed. Anything written with my left hand looks like a 2yr old tried to write it.

 

[Algonquin]

How's that? Which hand on top?

I use it with my right hand on top, left hand on the shaft. But more importantly, the blade curves to the right on a left handed stick. Blade curves left on a right handed stick. So.... you can't just switch hands or your blade will be curved the wrong way.

Same here hahaha
