Handedness

Kate Thornton · Nov 19, 2009

I was left handed before the accident. Now I type keyboard w/the right hand, but haven't learned to write with it. I do hold the paintbrush in the right hand now, though.

For a short time a couple of years ago - about six long weeks - the right wrist was broken and I was no-handed. That was pretty awful.

Southpaw here, everything but shooting a gun (my teacher taught me to shoot right handed and I do--or did, it's been years--okay with that).

How come the poll shows almost equal (7 and 8 at this time) when the world is 90 to 95 percent right handed?

Exactly the same here, Norman. Lefty in all things except marksmanship.

You like doing things the hard way then, eh? Lefties have ridiculously limited choice in guitars compared to righties... as I've experienced first, er, hand...

We also have to hold scissors backward: I stick my thumb in the big hole, and two fingers in the little hole to cut.

So I'm a right handed bearded lady, that doesn't mean I'm a freak

No, but the tentacles and snakes-for-hair might.

Wait, if the bearded lady has snakes for hair, does that mean her beard is also made of snakes?

Feiss · Nov 20, 2009

no. Absolutely not. I will not put up with this snake garlanding and whisker dictatory meddling!!

Weirdly enough there's one thing I can only do left handed, it just doesn't work when I use my right.
