Left Handed people in here!

[Morba]

So are their aims:

Will they come around and clear my office of the 50% that are gay?!

So are their aims:

Haha! I didn't notice that. I thought it was likely I was getting scientifically unsound information, but that pretty much settles it.

I just searched for left handed people are more likely to... because I was sure I'd read something that they were more likely to be evil

There are benefits to being a leftie!

I especially find benefit number 7 on that list to be really useful

 

[Marky]

Learn to write the correct way?

Other than being american that list is poo.


4. More creative and holistic thinker. Common thought holds that the right side of the brain (which controls the left hand), is responsible for prowess in art, music, writing, and spatial awareness.


Ok, I cannot play music, my writing sucks and as for art? my wife laughs at me when I draw with my boy, its pityful!

If something gets in the way of one hand I just use the other and that includes writing.

Same here. I am right handed but I can use either, actually prefer playing golf left handed.

 

[Hussman]

Power tools can be a pain too.

For example, my circular saw blows the sawdust into my face if I use it left-handed

I agree, hence my comment about writing Hebrew...

 

[Fenris]

There is a very good reason everything is made for right handed people.

It's because it's normal.

You're a freak.

 

[Broadie]

Right hander in a left-handed family

I play the drums left-handed, eat left-handed (knife in left, fork in right)

...DOOMED I TELLS YE !!

If something gets in the way of one hand I just use the other and that includes writing.

...and if it gets really interesting I get her to lend me a hand

I'm in good company though...

Will they come around and clear my office of the 50% that are gay?!

I'm not sure about what they will clear.

 

[Razor-BladE]

ring binders are annoying!

Its mad tbh.
For power I am right handed, for precision I am left.
Snooker / pool - left
writing - left
throwing - right
tennis - right

This. I'm right footed as well. And in archery/shooting i'm right handed.

Scissors don't annoy me though because i've only ever used right handed scissors. It's just weird if i were to try use left handed scissors. Edit: Just to be clear, I don't use my right hand for scissors, I just use right handed scissors in my left hand.

 

[Sp00n]

I find it weird how lefties seem to be more ambidextrous than righties, gem switches her hands all the time for various things, scissors is a key one I've noticed.

I wonder if its just because we sort of live in a right hand world and you sort of had to get used to it? I dunno.

 

[gillywibble]

I find scissors the biggest problem. I did buy some left handed scissors but they are just as difficult.

I also bought a left handed corkscrew, great for confusing drunk party guests

This ^^^

 

[Morba]

Yeah, in a lot of cases you just have to get on with it with your right hand.
Hammering is the worst, try finding a left handed hammer!



PC mouse as well, i want a nice shaped one that curves with my left hand, can i find a good one? no! plenty for right handers though

 

[Razor-BladE]

I'm probably more right handed than left. Use my right hand for the mouse.

 

[Hussman]

Hadn't thought about my mouse.

I use my right hand for that...

 

[mattjd]

My right hand does everything

I write, draw, hold the mouse, punch, lift things and eat with my right hand/arm.

My left hand is their just for holding a controller and typing

Though I always thought left handed writers would have issues with drawing and writing because of their hand going over the paint/ink :L
