Poll: Left Hander or Right Hander

[Noone From Nowhere]

I favored my left hand for many things as a child, but leave it up to meddling teachers to 'correct' that 'defect', so now my right hand is the dominant one. I still use my left to paint and to play video games, though, so it worked out well enough for me.
I wonder if this obsession with Right-Dominance is part of some larger political agenda or if is it just business. More than likely, however, is that it is just more of that jokerless humor this universe keeps sending our way.

Partially ambidextrous. I write with my left hand, but use a mixture of right and left for pretty much everything else. However, I do buy left-handed screwdrivers and left-handed burgers. Cost extra, but the cost is justified.

What? Where can I find these left handed burgers? Sorcery I say, sorcery....

 

[El Poncho]

I'm a lefty I do play guitar the right handed way though. My teachers tryed to make me write with my right hand but I refused but when I'm using pen it goes against me since i'm leaning on what I just wrote:|

Ha! Take that, search button fanboys! I did what you said!

Good job. Now people will yell at you for necro'ing the thread.

D: OH NOES!!!

That was an April Fool's joke that Burger King pulled a few years ago.

And lefties are the most awesome people in the universe!
They even have special scholarships for us lefties, because we're a minority like that.

I'm pretty much left handed in that I write and do most things with my left hand but I can do quite a bit with my right hand too. Unlike most of the left-handed people I've met I also use my mouse with my right hand.

 

[Hitman 43]

I'm right handed.

Left handers had to suffer through oppression as they were forced to write with their right hands. Left-handers are forced to live in a right-handed world. ie cars power tools, scissors and most importantly keyboards are mostly designed for right-handed people. How do you feel? Do you care? Either way, I want to know the percentage population of left-handers on the escapist. It's said left-handers are more creative and better at algebra, but live shorter lives - possibly due to right hander power tools.

Your opinion?

Edit: Btw Im left-handed. Also no jokes about how your right-handed but use for left hand for alone time.

Nobody's forcing them to live here, they could just like, start they're own coloney on a deserted island or something.

 

[Xeros]

I use my left hand to write, and anything that requires two hands (baseball bat, hockey stick, golf club, 2H sword, etc.), but everything else I do right handed ( throw and catch which I've always found weird, eat, any instruments, punching, etc.).

 

[Berethond]

This might not be the place, but I've always found left-handed things awesome.
Speaking of them, I want a left-handed piano.
That's right - a left-handed piano.

How awesome would that be?

That would be totally amazing, berethond.

Thank you, anonymous chorus of voices.

actually, keyboards are designed for left-handers. Keys for more commonly used letters (i.e. E, T, and S) are all on the left side of the keyboard. Either this is so you can type things with your left hand and click the mouse with your right, or so you can type "Sex" with your left and and use your right hand to...well, you know.

I'm right handed but occasionally use my left hand for various things.

I know it's hard being left handed in a world that's been designed for right handers, but I have known a lot of left handers that become total assholes when people even mention right of left handed. In my drama class, the two left handers sat in left handed seats, and I was the only right hander in a left handed seat. So the only person out of place was right handed. Kind of odd. Looking back, my drama teacher really hated me.

But answer me this: is it hard playing video games left-handed, or is that just the way you learn? And yes, my left hand is my, howyousay, never lonely hand. I can't help it.

Mostly video games aren't any different.
If, say, you play an Xbox, then you aren't going to play it left-handed or right-handed, you just play it.

Also, how is a left-handed seat different from a right-handed seat?

It was in the drama room, so instead of having a desk, we get a little piece of wood you pull up and flip out, and believe me, it wasn't comfortable writing while turned 45 degress the whole time. And you had to rotate the paper 45 degrees as well, meaning it would hang of the edge, and often get folded down if you bumped into it or someone walked by.

Everyone says that more people are right handed (like me), but in my past two tutor groups, over half of them were left handed!

P.S. Is it offensive to call left handed people 'lefties'? I never do, but it would be interesting to see what people think.

Nah, we'd call you righties, but it's a bit too unintentionally complementary.
