slo’s WEDNESDAY 3/26 poll - Right Hand🤚🏻, Left Hand 🖐🏻 or Both 🙌🏻

[The Mayor]

I'm ambidextrous. I can use both sides equally. Switch hitter in baseball. shoot both ways in hockey, etc. I was born a natural lefty but the nuns in my parochial school forced me to use my right hand when writing and doing anything in school. Evil woman they were!!

I'm right-handed.

I have all of the left-brain traits in the illustration, and only a couple of the right-brained ones.

I am right-handed, as is DH. Our DS is left-handed. My mother was one of those naturally left-handed children, forced to write right-handed in school. She became more or less ambidextrous, with some of the neatest handwriting I’ve seen.

I’m ambidextrous

I usually write with my left hand but I can write very legible with my right hand. My signature is the same no matter which hand I use.

I also can play sports, use the computer/keyboard/touch screen video games, calculators, etc with either hand. A lot of time I use both hands interchangeably.

Fun fact: I can write in mirror image. I don’t know what it means as far as brain function goes, but it’s a fun party trick. lol

Also, my father was left-handed, so was one of my 5 brothers. My son is left-handed, and so is one of my nieces. It definitely runs in my family.

I actually love being left-handed. I have really nice handwriting. I hate when people automatically think that lefties have horrible hand writing. It might be because of how some lefties hold their pen/pencil at a weird angle.

DH is left handed, and loves looking around that shop in Disney Springs. Used to pickup stuff , although now he can get stuff online. He does a lot with his right hand, so pretty ambidextrous. I'm right-handed, can't do hardly anything with my left hand. My right arm/shoulder has been bother me lately, and using the mouse, at the computer, etc. makes it worse, so I've been trying to use the mouse with my left hand.....not very successfully. I keep backing out of tabs/pages, when I don't intend to

Right-handed. Not ambidextrous, but there are certain things, such as opening jars, that I automatically do with my left hand for some reason.

 

[firefly_ris]

I am left handed except for using scissors, playing guitar and using a baseball bat -- I do those right handed.

 

[Meriweather]

Right handed and can't use the left for useful things.
DH is left, but can use his right because he grew up with teachers teaching to use the right hand and many thing are made to be used with the right hand. (there were no left handed scissors then, for example)
His mother was left handed and our granddaughter is left handed

I'm right handed, DH is left handed. My oldest sibling, born in 1949, is left handed and my mom had a real fight with the nuns about that. (She does have a PhD in a mathematical subject, so doesn't fit the chart in the opening post, and LH DH is a scientist) The story goes that I showed left handed tendencies, but because of all the trouble mom had with the nuns, I was steered to use my right hand from an early age.
