Handedness

[Koopaking]

I was just curious to know the contrasting handedness ratios of all of our users here on AF! Are you right handed? Are you left handed? Ambidextrous even? Do you do some things with one hand and some with the other? Take the poll! Reply to the thread!

I for one am basically right handed all the way. Most coordinated tasks that I attempt to use my left hand for are futile. I write right handed, and for the few times I play sports, I end up batting right handed, etc. Right handedness is the overwhelming majority of the world's population, you southpaws only make up a small percent. But of course I can use my left hand best for the CONTROL PAD on video games, Hurrah!

[Ryuuzaki]

I'm ambidextrous :D

[nena-X3]

Right-hanned!!! ^^ yay!!! lol XD i can't write with my left.. :/ or eat using my left hand! :O soo.. yeah im right-hanned...

[kitty-kat]

well im mostly right handed but for some tasks i can be a lefty like for baseball and cooking

[partyprobe]

im right hand but when my right hand gets tired i switch to my left. I dont know what else to say is that why you wanted to start this talk it seems pointless.

[Koopaking]

well I was bored, I know this is pointless sheesh.

[blaariffic]

They claim right handed people live 9 years longer on average than lefties but lefties have better hand eye coordination...
What they say about ambidextrous is beyond me...

[partyprobe]

they can use one hand or the other to beat the meat. I think that is what they say.

So you have no idea what the future is for us that are ambidextrous?!

@Partyprobe
....eeer......

@Ryuu
Write with one hand ..brush your teeth with the other?

Then again Im right handed and use my left to brush teeth in recent years..

[analogZero]

I'm mildly ambidextrous. there's certain things that are uncomfortable to do with my left hand, like write and draw. ohterwise I shift my hands up whenever I need to. It's just a little easier to use my right hand is all.

[Raven]

I would say my right hand is dominant but I can do many things with both hands.
Oh, and I cut pizzas left handed.

[DocHack]

Im a righty, but can use my left hand for stuff like cooking and some other random stuff that I cant think of atm

[illuma]

I was originally left handed but my grandma scolded me saying it was some kind of curse to be so i re-learned how to do everything with my right hand.

[kitty-kat]

wow that sux...do you still use your left now and then?

[partyprobe]

not be mean but that is funny

[illuma]

Yea i can like when i get into fights, my left arm is stronger and stuff like that. Since my grandma died i didn't get a chance to ask her if i could go back to being left handed so i'll stick to being right handed since thats what she wanted me to be. i can do everything with both hands though, well not write or draw, but my handwriting sucked in the first place and my drawings make a 1st grader look like Davinci

The ending of that little story you just told was really funny with the kids and drawing yaaa that was funny

[illuma]

Hey i'm an optimistic. i don't like to speak of anything depressing like people dying and when i do i like to add a small joke to lighten things up.

It is a classical idea that the left is evil. The Latin word for left and evil are the same (Scaevolus). Romans were all right handed because their togas immobilized their left hands. Michaelangelo's colossus "David" is looking over his left shoulder because evil is said to come from the left. There was however one famous Roman hero from around the time of the establishment of teh republic who was nicknamed "Scaevola" or "lefty" because he burnt his right hand to save his city.

[illuma]

Well my grandma was superstitious so it does make sense but man you are a smart guy to know all that and if you just googled it, well my statement still stands.

[Raven]

Google it?! NEVER! I took two years of Latin. With it came a lot of culture and mythology lessons I find to be handy tidbits of knowledge from time to time.
Thanks for the compliment^^

The left hand was also used to deal with wiping and what not and so was the dirtier of the hands as well...
In the middle east today it may still be offensive to shake with the left hand because of this..in any case..
I feel sorry for the lefties being forced to be righties ...

[illuma]

No its all good i mean i loved my grandma hell i did everything for her when i was younger. I mean i grew up with her scolding me, hitting me, and praising me, but she died so i keep doing all the things shes taught me how to do. Damn i can't think of a joke to add here. I will make it up next time.

[Ariya]

Ambidextrous ftw. :3 I normally write with my right hand, though, since it's easier for school. I hate bumping into someone else's arm.

Their cries of oppression can still be heard today.

[jamjfly]

That was uncalled for.

Not really he saw an opening for a joke and he took it.

[jamjfly]

It was still uncalled for.

[monsoon 10]

Don't make me re-quote myself.
