Are You Right-Handed or Left-Handed ?

[bayoubill]

or ambidextrous?

[LouC]

Right handed.

But I guess I should be a southpaw.

People always think I am left handed because I apparently wear my watch on the wrong side?

I wear it on the right when I wear one.

[nortman]

I'm a rightie. My middle son is also a rightie. My wife, oldest son, and daughter are all southpaws.

If you tie your watch on with your left hand,

you may well have subliminal ambidextrous tendancies,

buried since early childhood. :think:

I had an injury to my right wrist and arm in early grade school and I was able to write fairly well with my left hand and get by fairly well while my arm was in a cast and a sling. :think:

That was a long time before I ever wore a watch.

I think there is must truth to what you are saying.

[melinda]

ambidextrous....I do some things as a righty, some as a lefty and some with both just depending on the moment.

[Talk2Bill]

did you know that "Ambidextrous" means two right hands?

And that the word for 'left' is 'sinister'?

[Talk2Bill]

Oh and I am right handed but left eyed. So in the Army I would shoot left handed and I wore my side arm on my left.

is that common? I know a lot of people like that........

I'm the same way, but since an unfortunate incident at a resort involving 8-year-old me, a rifle and a very unlucky squirrel, I'm not allowed near guns so much.

[VA-165 Boomer]

Only lefthanded people are in their right mind. Some genius' are born right handed but overcome the handicap quickly. lol

Right handed.

I used to wear my watch on my right wrist too, people bitched at me so much about it I finally changed it to my left wrist and its still not comfortable.

Since burning lefties as witches became outlawed in most countries, we've been seriously growing in numbers. Soon, we'll take over the world!

Same here; right handed but left eye dominant. I'm much better with a handgun than a rifle because of this. I simply turn my head so I sight with my left eye.

The odd thing is, since laser eye surgery, my right eye is now better than my left. But after years of shooting this way I just keep doing it.

Got two competitions this weekend. Steel plate match on Saturday and cowboy action shooting on Sunday. :dance:

[bayoubill]

People gave you grief about which side you wore your watch on?! :eek:

I can do a few things with my left hand, but mostly I'm a righty.

My dad was a lefty and I remember him trying to teach me how to tie my shoes...he spent like 3 or 4 days trying to show me, and I couldn't catch on...he thought I was a little moron or something...then my uncle came to visit, he's a righty, and Dad asked him to show me...watched him do it once and picked right up...I've been a shoe tying fool ever since...

[ThrowCop]

I'm a righty but I play the drums left handed.



(and yes, there is such as thing) :lol:

So does that mean you have the snare and the hi-hat on your right hand side and the tom on the left?

[chichimama]

Right handed. After my dad stopped me from using my left hand to pick things up when I was a baby. He's a south paw and I guess he didn't want me to be one.

My Dad did the same thing to my son and come to think of it it's possible he did it to us kids.

[CID_0687]

It was fun to watch my dad (lefty) write...It's amazing some of the directions a forearm and wrist can turn...and his shoulder would be up to his ear, but by God he'd get it done.

I can hand write (lefty) upside down pretty well when I get a little practice.

[super cool ski instructor]

I write with my right hand.

But I put on make-up with both...I will never understnad how a gal can put mascara and eyeliner on her left eye with her right hand, or vice versa :D

If I tried that with my right hand, I'd lose an eye. :))

[drylok]

I'm right handed, I shoot pool left handed and I ski with my right foot in front.
right eye dominate

[CID_0687]

I guess I'm right eye dominant since I'm legally blind in my left.

[Talk2Bill]

is that common? I know a lot of people like that........

i think it is. i also think it has to do with parents pushing the use of the right hand. I also wonder if there is any connection between being left eyed and right handed and forms of dyslexia and or ADHD.

[doodle5]

Most interesting thread!!!!

I use both hands depending what I am doing!!

I have noticed brown eyed people are left handed interesting.

So I have been ambidextrous since childhood.

I memorized a lot starting at 2 years old. Education was stressed.

amazing...

Yes they do.

My wife said "Oh I didn't know you were left handed" the first time I put one on that she had given me.

I didn't own a watch before that.

I said I wasn't and she got all upset because "You are wearing it on the wrong side" saying that as if I had mental problems for doing so.

[optrader]

I'm left brained. Funny though, most people use "other" adjectives to describe my brain. Hmm...

[Uk4Duke]

Left-handed all the way. My writing looks like like a four year old if I tried to write with my right-hand. I have tried and no I will not try again.

[GoBucks]

Yeah! I'm not the only one!!

[Dragon1963]

I'm left handed, but working on ambidextrous.

[who]

or ambidextrous?
I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

[WJStafford]

I am ambidextrous too.

I wonder what the percentage of the population is ambidextrous?:think:

I think it might correlate to the percentage of the population that meets the Mensa requirements...:think:



just wondering...

[BasicGreatGuy]

you just need to buy some good left-handed tools.






























:mrgreen:

+1000

[BasicGreatGuy]

I am left-handed. As far as I can tell, I am the only one in my right mind. :mrgreen:

[outfromunder]

I do most things right handed, yet can do other things left handed,
So more of one, less with another.

[Mustang JEB]

I shoot pistols left handed
Rifles right handed
Write left handed
Shoot pool either way
Throw right handed

I'm confused..:((

[JimGP20]

A perfectly good set up line that albob must have missed. :eek:

[Dreamy]

Right for most activities

[bayoubill]

bumping an important question... lol...

[Dragon1963]

You mean a trivial question. After all you started this in tp not ip.

[super cool ski instructor]

Just checked...still right handed.

[JeffR]

I am a rightie.

I had golfer's elbow for a bit, and I had to learn to do some things with my other hand. Like mousing.

[Clamp]

I'm right handed but shoot rifles & pool lefty.

I can write my name backwards with my left hand at the same time as forwards with my right hand...

[SisterMary]

I'm right handed but shoot rifles & pool lefty.

I can write my name backwards with my left hand at the same time as forwards with my right hand...
Clamp, you are one amazing hypnotoad!

I usually just use the hand that isn't busy doing something else.:cool:

[JeffR]

I'm right handed but shoot rifles & pool lefty.
Are you left-eye dominant?

[Clamp]

Are you left-eye dominant?

Indeed on the left eye.

Also, here's a quick video (its sped up a little)...

[VCaddy05]
