Did you not read the poll? "Which hand do you primarily write with?"

I'm a righty, as to shooting, I have to shoot with both eyes open, I can close my left eye when using iron sights but with a scope I will periodically lose the crosshairs unless I open both eyes

I write, shoot (hockey), swing (golf) all Left.  I could switch-shoot in paintball pretty good...

but that left handed mouse is the dumbest thing ever.

"Left handedness is a sign of the devil!"

I heard that once from an older person.  I always think of it when left and right handed is discussed.  It's like a song stuck in your head, something you can't forget.  Now I hope I've passed this on to all of you.    ;D

one thing i have always found interesting is that lefties have much neater hand writing than the right handed.....i suppose it is some kind of over compensation.

another personal experience is that a disproportionate number of the most capable people i know are left handed.

what about ambidextrous?
without that as an option, i am forced to go with boobies

(i write with my right hand, everything else i can do right or left handed)

I, too, was forced to go with boobies.  In school, I was smacked on the palm with a ruler every time I picked up the pencil with my left hand, so I learned to write with my right.  I still pick up a pen with my left occasionally and am halfway into a word before I remember I don't write with that hand.  I hold the pencil like a lefty regardless of which hand I write with.

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

KnightofNi

after breaking my right arm a few times as a kid i learened to do dam near everything with my left.

i havne't written lefty in a very long time, but i tend to flip flop everything i do. i'm a better shot fromt eh right side, but i can still hit the borad side of a barn from the left.
i'm severly right leg dominant though. even though i board goofy i feel like a tard when trying to kick with my left leg playing soccer. i'm seriously lucky if i can get any power on the ball.
Life, alas is very drear. Up with the glass and down with the beer!

I only write lefty.  All other tasks are done right-handed, even hitting a baseball ~

fixed.  all the lefty people i can think of right off hand are a bit on the crazy side.

Triple J

I write right handed, but do many other things lefty.

The first time I sat down to a drumset I wanted to switch it over to lefty (high hat on the right side instead of the left, which is typical). My instructor told me to learn to play right handed since 99% of drumsets are arranged that way...and I'd never be able to play on someone elses set if I learned lefty. Makes sense.

I wonder if I can play the drums because I'm ambidextreous, or if I'm ambidextrious because I learned to play the drums.  ??? Chicken or the egg I guess.
