What do you do with your right hand and what do you do with your left hand. Umm, this is just a way to find the other left handed people.

Right hand : Play all sports (except frissbee if you can call that a sport, darts, and bowling)

Left hand: write

brush my teeth

Use utensils and pick up my drinking glass

point

raise hand in class

reach for something

I can't really think right now.

Oh, yeah. You could say I type left handed seeing as to how I use my left thumb to press down on the space bar with and I only really like to use the shift key on the left side.

I play guitar with both hands. Mostly with my left, but not always.

I just find it weird how I play sports right handed when I'm left handed. I don't get it.

I also like to use the mouse for the computer on the left side, but when I use the computer at school, I have to use my right hand. :-(

It's uncomfortable for me. If I put the mouse on the left side, I'll bump into the girl next to me.

Yeah, but the sports you list as not playing right-handed are pretty hand-intensive. So what exactly do you play right-handed?

I shoot pool lefty but am otherwise right handed. This comes in handy when your playing someone and you say non-chalantly "Yeah, I'll play lefty, just to make things interesting..."

I write and play snooker/pool left handed. I think I do everything else right handed, racquet sports, throwing things, darts, bowling, smoking, drinking...oh, I use a fork or spoon in my left hand even if not using a knife, also stirring when cooking would be with my left hand, but maybe that's because I find it more natural to hang on to the pot with my (stronger) right hand.

When I was at school, I broke my right arm and no-one could believe how much it affected me for a supposedly left-handed person. I suppose thinking about it, I would guess I was a predominantly right-handed person who writes with her left hand.

Umm, basketball, volleyball (only because I serve with my right hand) and I have to ask, how can you tell whether you play golf right handed or left handed? I need to know so I can define which hand I use. Tennis I tried with my right hand and I think if I played more than one time, I'd play with my right hand. I also play football with my right hand.

― Aja (aja), Sunday, 28 March 2004 18:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I roll cigarettes left-handedly apparently (filter/roach = in the right hand).

― dog latin (dog latin), Sunday, 28 March 2004 18:42 (twenty-one years ago)

I bet you, if I smoked, I'd use my left hand.

― Aja (aja), Sunday, 28 March 2004 18:43 (twenty-one years ago)

you know, I have an advantage being left handed in basketball. Eventhough I don't normally play and dribble left handed, I can swich and dribble left-handed. I just CAN NOT shoot left handed. Oh, lord! That's awful. It goes straight in the air and comes straight down!

― Aja (aja), Sunday, 28 March 2004 18:46 (twenty-one years ago)

When I play a board game, I'll pick up my piece with my left hand

― Aja (aja), Sunday, 28 March 2004 18:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I do everything right-handed except play drums. I can only play drums left handed, because the drummer I used to work with was a leftie, and left his kit set up in my house for a couple of years. So I just learned that way. I can just about bash out punk rock left handed, I can't do a thing on the drumkit right-handed.

It's weird. Joe is left handed, but plays guitar right-handed. I find that really weird. He does everything else left handed. I think it's because he was only aware of the existence of leftie guitars after I told him.

I bet I'd play drums left handed. But it'd be more like playing cymbols. I love cymbols. For some reason I really like the ride cymbol. I think that's what it's called.

― Aja (aja), Sunday, 28 March 2004 20:12 (twenty-one years ago)

I open jars with my left hand, but otherwise I am almost exclusively right-handed.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Sunday, 28 March 2004 20:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I open jars with my left hand too. I forgot about that.

― Aja (aja), Sunday, 28 March 2004 20:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh yeah, so do I. I'd never even thought about it. And I possibly eat crisps with my left hand. I also play pool with my left hand, but am otherwise right-handed. I'm left footed when playing football though for some reason.

― Crackity (Crackity Jones), Sunday, 28 March 2004 21:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm left footed every time I kick something.

― Aja (aja), Sunday, 28 March 2004 21:37 (twenty-one years ago)

gygax, recommend somewhere to play pool for me, plz.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Sunday, 28 March 2004 23:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Or maybe we could have a pool FAP. I suck, but I like to play.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Sunday, 28 March 2004 23:46 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm an ambidextrous Ping Pong player, and will kick your ass with either hand. This is because at the height of my Ping Pong playing years(summer camp, 10 years old) I put my arm through a window and had to play with the left for the rest of summer, gaining uncanny ability in my inferior side.

I'm right handed as far as writing goes, but I hold telephones and mikes with my left hand, I carry my bag over my left shoulder, I put my left shoe on first, and I mostly smoke using my left hand. I also instinctively picked up a guitar left-handed when in early high school but got so severely told off for it (ridiculed almost) that I learnt it "right".

Very odd that my instinct is towards the left handedness and yet I couldnt WRITE with my left hand if I tried.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 29 March 2004 02:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm right-handed, but eat chips, pop corn, pretzels etc. with the left. I hold a hockey stick left handed, and open jars left-handed, too.

― jim wentworth (wench), Monday, 29 March 2004 02:26 (twenty-one years ago)

i do everything with the right hand but i use my utensils like a lefthander.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Monday, 29 March 2004 04:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Tennis I tried with my right hand

I read this as

Tetris I tried with my right hand

and I imagined differently shaped GameBoys with strangly organised keys for the leftys.

― Johnney B (Johnney B), Monday, 29 March 2004 08:07 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm just fat-handed.

― Sarah (starry), Monday, 29 March 2004 08:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Hahahahahahahhahaahhahahaha

― Sarah (starry), Monday, 29 March 2004 08:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm a lefty in everything but guitar (when I started learning I never thought of playing it the other way, and besides, chords are easier for a lefty playing right handed stylee) and English-style knife and fork dexterity (but I never eat like that anymore, barely using a knife at all).

― David A. (Davant), Monday, 29 March 2004 08:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Wow, that was a strange unasked-for detail at the end.

― David A. (Davant), Monday, 29 March 2004 08:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Aparently, I clap with my left hand as well. But supposedly that is an indication of left-brainedness, not left-handedness.

― Super-Kate (kate), Monday, 29 March 2004 08:54 (twenty-one years ago)

What about wanking, people???

(left although right-handed)

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 29 March 2004 11:28 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm right handed but i kick a football with my left foot (some would say i kick with two left feet..)

i can do bowling with left or right hand (bowl straight with right hand but hook with left!!!??) although right hand's average is somewhat higher.

in an effort to emulate ronnie o'sullivan i started playing some snooker shots with left hand too (only easy ones no 4 feet longshot heroics)

i use utensils the lefties way round too like ms lurex! it just makes so much more sense (the fork is the one that requires precision i.e. you should use your better hand!)

i juggle with both hands.

same with wanking.. penis too big for just the one hand to handle, maybe.

I'm right-handed but went ambi for a while due to spending much of my childhood with my right arm in plaster (well probably a total of 18 months/2 years but that's a lot when you have to go to school and write every day).

Now I do everything right-handed again I think.

― Archel (Archel), Monday, 29 March 2004 11:46 (twenty-one years ago)

I think I pretty much use my right hand for everything.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 29 March 2004 11:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Despite being right handed, I golf left.
Ever tried finding used left handed golf clubs? Not fun.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Monday, 29 March 2004 11:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I can play some very basic guitar chords on a left hander upside down because a friend is a leftie and it was frustrating not being able to pick up his guitar and play something.

― Jarlr'mai (jarlrmai), Monday, 29 March 2004 12:01 (twenty-one years ago)

I can play the bassline from "Taxman" on a left-handed bass. That's about it. (Leftie ex had the most amazing leftie Macca Hofner violin bass... I just had to learn how to do it...)

― Super-Kate (kate), Monday, 29 March 2004 12:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm left-handed and can't do a damn thing. I blame society.

― Donna Brown (Donna Brown), Monday, 29 March 2004 18:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Left-handed

Eat
Write
Wank
Brush teeth
Most things

Right-handed

All sports (learned them all right-handed, which is why I'm horrible at absolutely all of them)
Use a mouse
Play drums (I lead with my right-hand on a normal setup. I wish I hadn't learned that way, as it's a massive challenge to lead with my weaker hand. No going back though, I just work on my right-hand finger speed all the time)

On the rare occasions I play pool, I can never remember if I play better right-handed or left-handed and end up switching back and forth until I lose.

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 29 March 2004 18:23 (twenty-one years ago)

how can you tell whether you play golf right handed or left handed?

Which side does your backswing go towards? To your right = you're rightie golfer. (Works the same in baseball.)

Left:
Mouse
Opening jars
Holding a peanut butter & jelly sandwich

Right:
everything else
