Leftie or Rightie? dare i say Ambi?....

[missmays1983]

i was bored and curious...let's take a poll...how many SWers are right-handed, left-handed, or ambidextrious...

i am a lefty...

i don't know that many other lefties, so i get excited when i found out someone is left-handed...yes i am a nerd. ;-)

[missmays1983]

everyone who answers gets a lapdance! LOL

yes i am that bored.

[firekitten19]

Yay! I also get excited when I see a fellow lefty. Where is my lapdance. LOL^_^

[Meleania]

righty ^.^ i thought all lefties were ambidextrous cuz they have to learn how to use all our right handed stuff..or something

[short skirts]

I was right-handed until an accident which left my right arm paralyzed from elbow down, then I had to learn to use left hand. I got 75% feeling back so now I'm ambidextrous.

Left and Proud!!!!!!

[Phil-W]

Left handed.

Although interestingly, right-handed in some things. When I used to play guitar, I played it right handed. That's because the guy that taught me was was right handed, and neither he nor I realized I should have learned to play left handed.

Similarly, I use a knife and fork the same as a right handed person - and for the same reason. My parents taught me to use them right handed.

I believe 10% of the population is left handed and 90% right.

Interestingly, the Latin for left and right handed is 'sinister' and 'dexter'.

I did it for the Lapdance.

[Harlow]

fun facts about lefties...(that may or may not be true, but i read them in reader's digest when i was 10...)

-lefties are more likely to have speech impediments when they are younger....and become alcoholics when they are younger....


anyone else got any fun facts about lefites or righties? post 'em!

Well, not strictly about being left handed or right handed, but in the great majority of men, the left testicle hangs lower than the right.

lefty!

[missmays1983]

take the poll dammit!

i know there is more than 23 people here...

and if you would rather answer the poll in reference to which foot you use the most, go for it...LOL!

i can actually pick things up with my feet...it's, er, quite handy...HA im on a freakin' roll!

[Lemonz]

Lefty!

I also read somewhere that lefties are more intelligent, but that righties have better memories. Dunno about all that, though...

Lefties Rule

[goldengrl69]

Im a right ambi. I play all sports with my left hand,eat,braid hair and drive like a lefty.

Sorta like Phil-W, just the opposite.

[subwoofer]

Lefty all the way.

Supposedly, 10 percent of the general population are LH's, but according to this survey so far, 26 percent of SW's are LH. With the stereotypes of LH's (creative, free thinking, scatterbrained, more liberal than RH's in general) it's no surprise that the percentage of SW LH's are higher than the population in general.

Me too. Im predominantly lefty, but write with my right.
I draw and paint equally left and right

[goldengrl69]

I even drive with my left foot out the window heehee

[LuckyOne]

Righty. I have all the rightie qualities too. Organized, logical and task-oriented. I didn't get to vote because the poll was closed.

[A_Guy]

WOW... a lot of lefties here.

I am completely/totally/absolutely right handed (and right footed for that matter). Frankly, I'm worried that the left side of my body will shrivel up and atrophy if I don't start using my left hand to brush my teeth more often. Hell, the last time I tried that I poked myself in the eye!

[goldengrl69]

ouch!

[Slim143]

Leftie!!!

[Happycat]

I'm ambi. Right right-handed naturally, but CAN write lefty(somewhat more sloppily) if I need to (say my right hand's full and need to sign a receipt or something). Most other tasks use a specific side naturally, but I am capable of using the other if need be.

- I kick/throw/bowl more accurately with left hand even though I used to primarily use my right (was enforced in my school that way, assholes).
- Count money more precisely with left, but I have slightly better coordination with my right (poking things, putting things together).
- Space bar with left hand, usually shift with left. Mouse with right just because that's the standard set-up. I'm sure I could easily pick up lefty-mouse if it became necessary but it's never come up.
- While I can write with both hands, I can only draw with right.
- With dancing, I can swirl my hips counter-clockwise fine, but clockwise not so much.
- When I start walking I always seem to start right-foot, same with ascending stairs.
- While eating I don't bother switching hands to cut with knife, as I can do both. Every now and then I do have to think about this, tho.

I'm sure there's more but that's basically how it works for me.
