Left-handed, Right-handed, Or Both?

[Betta Whisperer]

I'm left handed, my mother is a lefty and my sister also. My father is the only righty in the family. Interesting history fact. Back 100 yrs ago it was a disgrace to be left handed so my mothers grandmother forced her to write right handed. What is surprising about this is that my mother had the most beautiful penmanship.

I'm partially ambidextrous, I can do nearly everything with my left or right side except for writing, that is right-hand only. Here's something pretty cool, the bones in my feet are different from most ppl. They are spaced wider and are more flexible so I can pick things up with them and even climb, like a monkey. Once I wanted to see how far it could go so I played a video game using my feet to control the keyboard and mouse, and it worked....

I'm right handed and just learned that I'm left eye dominant.

I can pick stuff up with my feet too. I had no idea others couldn't. Apparently we are known as pedactyloids. Cool! That's two things this thread has taught me about myself!

The eye thing is neat. I have terrible eyesight so I wouldn't know if I had a dominant eye.

So that's what it's called? Nice to know. I'm the only one in my family that has feet like this. They're so wide I have to wear men's shoes! But it's REALLY handy (footy? ) when I drop stuff.

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.

Huh, maybe I'm doing it wrong, the object seems to move equally out of view, well not actually out of view, just off to the side

Try to pick something moderately-sized, such as the handle on a door, and a decent distance away.

Cool! My eyes are exactly the same. I think. The object moves the same distance left and right.

Edit, with the doorknob trick, I'm left eye dominant.

I'm the exact same! But I use my left hand fairly easily and bat and hold a hockey stick left-handed.

Oh wow, me too with the toe pick up. I didn't know not everyone could do that lol!

My mom calls me gross when I use my first and second toe to pick things up, but it's quite helpful

When I looked up the pedactyloids thing that Feohw mentioned, it said only 1 in 13 ppl have it. So it's fairly rare. But really cool and useful.

Whatever lol! It beats bending over! I think my toes are split jointed, I can move them independently, split them... ok I'll stop talking about feet!

My mum says it's gross too, but only if I'm trying to pass her something - using the foot.... hahahaha

 

[Feohw]

Well it seems all of our moms think it's gross. We have that in common too!!

 

[nikm128]

She hates it even more when it's a bigger/heavier item and I curl all my toes around an edge of it lol

Me neither, I thought that it was quite normal too

That's pretty funny. Mine was disturbed when I played the game on my laptop with my feet. Though even I think that was a little too much,

 

[Cheesecake]

Both. I use my left hand for drawing and writing, but I use my right hand for batting, hockey, shooting hoops, etc.

 

[windrunner9189]

maybe it is a normal thing, I can also pick things up with my feet.

Are you secretly a monkey?
