All you lefties...

drtyfrnk29

show yourselves!!!!

I write, eat, hold a bat or golf club left handed. But I kick with my right foot and play guitar right handed. What about you?

Edit: Forgot a few. Roll dice, shoot pool, and cut with my right.

Anyone?

LEFTIES RULE!!!

I do just about everything naturally with my left hand, but I was forced to use my right hand for a lot of things too, so that now I bat right, but throw left. I also cut with right handed scissors, but upside down.

I'm a South Paw.
Pretty much do everything with my left hand.

i also change diapers like i'm a lefty...that will only make sense to parents.

My dad keeps bothering me with how his bread knife (a real knife to you) is for a right handed person...that is why he doesn't like to slice bread at home.
So crazy, my Dad.
I told him they probably make left handed knives as they make left handed scissors. He never heard of any of this. lol

lalalalaaaaaaaa

I'm a righty, but anything to do with aiming I'm a lefty...I shoot pool lefty. If I were to shoot a rifle or bow, it'd be lefty. I think my dominant eye is wrong or something.

Bat...(switch) natural left.....throw right...eat left....bowl right...golf switch...I played right handed for the first 3 years then swicthed to left. Cut with my right...write left....shoot pool right..ping pong and tennis, either...I am a mess...:)

xscorcho

I am a lefty but I’m fairly ambidextrous with most things. The exceptions being that I throw with my right (weak) arm and play guitar right-handed. Oh, and I only use my right hand when punching 5 year olds…

I write, eat, cut with a scissors, kick a ball, smack off, drink, push buttons, and mostly everything left handed.

I swing a bat and golf club and everything like that right handed.

I throw balls both ways. That sounds gayish.

Why would you make life so difficult for yourself!? :D

I'm a leftie. I don't pay much attention to individual things I do with each hand, but i'm right footed.

Hey John–and fellow lefties–I have always thought it “funny” that the word for left in French - gauche - means socially awkward or unsophisticated in English!!!!!! What gives???

MattCameronKicksButt

My left arm's useless! I don't know why it's there actually. Completely pointless.

So you typed all that with your right hand? Awesome.

Good point. I can actually type with two fingers now instead of one.

Lefty here

I play golf, guitar, eat, scissors, and a few other things right handed. I learned how to do a lot of things with my right hand when I broke my left elbow and then my left wrist right after my elbow healed.

this is me.
i can think of maybe one thing i do rightie....otherwise solidly left-handed. in regards to playing sports, i honestly don't know .....as it's been so long i can't even say, but if pressed i would guess almost definitely all done leftie as well.

People have asked me that before, is it really that weird?

Back in elementary school, we had little scissors with rubber on the handles. The right handed ones had red rubber, the left handed had green. Needless to say, there weren't so many green ones. I sometimes had a hard time finding green. As years went by, the green scissors became fewer and farther between and I said, "fuck it, I'm using red scissors....on my LEFT HAND!" To make a short story long, I sucked at it, but kept it up. I had to pull my thumb in and push my finger out, which wasn't natural. Now it just seems normal to me. You give me a left handed scissors, I won't know what to do.

funny, as a former art teacher and also a south paw, i made SURE i had LOTS of lefty scissors in my classroom, and really comfy scissors to boot. they were so nice, the righties wanted to use them. haha. now don't feel sorry for the righties b/c their scissors were awesome too, just that fiskars, the brand of scissors i bought/used......made the leftie handle different and a wee bit nicer, so no choice. i think it's VERy important for studets to feel success in art, and that includes the skill required to cut properly.


when i was a kid, i always used leftie scissors and could not for the life of me use rightie. however, as you get older they don't make leftie adult scissors i guess b/c they realize at that age you can adapt. so, now i exclusively use rightie scissors and cannot cut with leftie. my students used to get a kick out of that.

Eat, write, brush teeth, comb hair, cook (stir,flip etc), with left hand.

use scissors with right hand, and right arm is stronger.

I'm a righty but I kick better with my left in soccer.

And damn proud of it too. I do everything with my left hand, first.
Unfortunately I was taught how to knit, the "right way". Spit, cough cough.
whatever. Grew up fairly ambidextrious(sp?).
Left handers are in their Right brain. It's easier for us to get accustomed to using our Right hands, compared to our Right handed fellow folks.

This was very clear to me, during Massage Therapy school. You cannot be a good therapist, using only one hand! You have to train your brain to use both sides of your own body equally, and to be effective in performing various techniques.

Baseball, in grade school, I hit the Bat either side of homeplate, right down right or left field. I also had a left handed baseball glove and was poked fun at by the boys, for having it.

mirrorthelight

i write right handed but can also write left handed, throw left handed, bat and kick with both, i played the violin(which is always a right handed instrument) for 13+years but i play the guitar left handed, i can eat with either hand, skateboard/snowboard leftie, shoot a basketball leftie but can dribble with both, golf rightie....can't think of anything else....so i guess this makes me ambedextrious???
