Are you a righty or lefty? Is that your dominate hand for everything?

kbrown2385 · April 2019

I’m a lefty. I do pretty much everything with my left except for most sports. I bat right and can throw both, tennis racket in my right hand etc. Anyone who taught me was right handed, so that’s how i learned.

inthewoods23 · April 2019

@kbrown2385 I'm a lefty too!

Bat right, bowl right (although I used to be a lefty and for some time could bowl ambidextrously but not anymore), kicking any sports ball I'd probably find most comfortable with my right foot. Cutting and stirring when I cook is left handed as well as writing.

It's weird how sports handedness can be the opposite of someone's normal handedness.

lcking82 · April 2019

Righty! And really nothing much happens with my left.

bows22 · April 2019

I’m a righty but find myself doing random things with my left hand. Washing my hair is one but of course I can’t think of anything else offhand. @inthewoods23 DH is a lefty but a sports righty too. I agree, so weird!

I'm a righty for everything. I even seem right-footed...is that a thing? (Like in yoga I can balance on my right leg a lot better than my left).

madcouplewithabox · April 2019

Righty for everything here!

flowntheloop · April 2019

I'm a righty.

shamrocandroll · April 2019

Righty, but I'm pretty good at doing things with my left hand due to years of playing piano. When I paint (as in a wall, not art), I can easily switch back and forth depending on what side I'm edging. I can also paint my right nails decently well (on the very rare occasion I paint my nails). I can't write lefty, though.

inthewoods23 · April 2019

@whitealbum29 yes that's a thing! You can have a dominate eye too.

b_1029 · April 2019

Righty all the way! My left hand is basically just there for show.

brookert615 · April 2019

I am a righty but in relation to sports/archery/shooting I use my left!

marebear15 · April 2019

Righty all the way! I did train myself to eat with my left hand in elementary school, but I've since lost that ability.

shamrocandroll · April 2019

Also, TMI question, but has anyone ever tried to wipe with the opposite hand they usually use? I hurt my hand once and had to use my left and it was SO difficult!

kpearse99 · April 2019

I'm a righty - the only thing I do better on my left is drive!

brookert615 · April 2019

@shamrocandroll I don't remember if I ever but I do know it's super hard brushing my teeth with my left hand lol.

m6agua · April 2019

@shamrocandroll I have tried that before and it is difficult.

I am right handed. I deal cards with my left hand. There are probably a few other things I do left handed too. For hunting I use my left, because I am left eye dominant. I played soccer growing up and could use both feet well, but my left was always stronger.

inthewoods23 · April 2019

@shamrocandroll I've tried it a few times and every time it felt so bizarre!

marebear15 · April 2019

@shamrocandroll - Yes! It's so hard and *tmi* messy!

holly321 · April 2019

I am left handed, but can do most things with my right. Unfortunately, I had a misdiagnosed cyst in my wrist for YEARS and had little use of my right hand for a long time and it has much less strength than my left side, so I can do much less with it than I used to be able to.

Dh laughs at me , because I sometimes (accidentally) will be using a fork with one hand and a spoon with the other and looks crazy.

b_1029 · April 2019

@shamrocandroll YES! I keep having issues with my right wrist and when it gets really bad, that “angle” is really painful so I try to switch and it’s just not good lol

celticknotfire · April 2019

@shamrocandroll I broke my right wrist and it was a pain to try and use my left!

I am a righty all the way. When I was a kid I used both my mother said that was not acceptable behavior and that I should use my right hand only. (She's crazy but that's a whole different story). When I played soccer I used both feet but was better with my right. My dad always made me practice with both feet because he said it would make me a better player and he was right!

kiki047 · April 2019

Another righty here. My left hand is useless. I'm kinda disappointed that I'm not ambidextrous because both my parents are lefties.

@shamrocandroll LMAO yes, talk about awkward!
@b_1029

"basically there for show" hahaha. My left hand isn't even that pretty, I broke my pinkie finger when I was a kid and never had it properly set so it's kinda mangled and slightly arthritic, and I have a bunch of random scars cuz I'm accident prone. That's why we didn't take any close-up pics of my hand with my engagement ring cuz I was self conscious of it.

ruby696 · April 2019

Righty here. I'll do some things with my left hand (driving, using a round brush), but that's about it.

@shamrocandroll Legit just laughed at my desk! Yes, and it's so hard. And *TMI* I am wholly unable to check CM/CP with my left hand.

spacemountaineer · April 2019

Completely right handed. It is interesting to see what people can do with their non-dominant hand.

kels0091 · April 2019

Righty for writing but most other things, a lefty!
Also, I can drive with my left foot ! I had a bee sting on my right foot one day out at the lake and had to drive with my left and ever since, I switch it up just in case something like that ever happens again.
