Righty or Lefty?

[Haruki-kun]

[Da Beast]

Lefty all the way. Makes my room mates when the pick up guitar hero just after I've finished.

[Ego Slayer]

I'm right, so you much be wrong.

:smalltongue:

[I'm da Rogue!]

Haruki-kun, this makes 2 of us. ok, ok, 3.

[Yeril]

Righty..

Also I Love your theif sigatar I'm Da Rogue!

[Volug]

Ambedexteroius. It lowers my Flaws and allows me a +1 to me DEX.

[Serpentine]

I'm sinister :smallamused:
>twirls Shiny's moustache<

[banjo1985]

Righty for me, though I can write with my left.

[Tengu]

Lefty, and proud of it.

[Ceska]

One of the statistically 90% right handed people in the world.


Also I Love your theif sigatar I'm Da Rogue!
Yeah, I like it too. The current looks good too, just like the person behind it. :smallredface:

[Raiser Blade]

I'm a wrongy.

[Midnight Son]

Depends on what I'm doing. I usually do precision work with my left and strength work with my right. Sometimes I mix it up though. Being ambidextrous is great for when you need to work in a tight space or at wierd angles.

[Vaynor]

Righty here.

[Baboon Army]

I'm right :smallbiggrin:

[Morty]

I'm left handed, though not very much so- many things I still do with right hand. But I write, draw and for example throw with left hand, which makes me lefty.

[Green Bean]

Lefty.

Remember, if the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body, then only left-handed people are in their right minds! :smallbiggrin:

[Hephaestus]

Right handed.

Oh right.. that reminds me of something that's been bugging me. Is General Grievous from Star Wars right or left handed?...

[Ichneumon]

I am very lefty.

[I'm da Rogue!]

Also I Love your theif sigatar I'm Da Rogue!




Yeah, I like it too. The current looks good too, just like the person behind it. :smallredface:

thanx guys:smallsmile:

[Last_resort_33]

Right. but I half wish I was left handed, it might have been easier to play a right handed guitar doing all the fingering with my left hand... Can't really say though

[Totally Guy]

I'm left handed as well. There's quite a few of us here isn't there... that's interesting. Mybe us Lefties are simply drawn to this kind of thread.

[Raiser Blade]

I'm actually a righty.

Wrongy was a pun.

[Winterwind]

Right handed, though I can write with my left hand reasonably well, too, and for instance prefer to open doors with keys with my left one. So halfway ambidextrous, probably.

[Haruki-kun]

I'm actually a righty.

Wrongy was a pun.

LOL, yeah, but I thought Wrongy was the opposte of Righty. Hehe, sorry, fixing it now.

[purple gelatinous cube o' Doom]

I'm an abomination when it comes to the right/left debate. I do almost everything right-handed except for three things. I bat, golf, and hold a hockey stick left handed.

[ZombieRockStar]

I'm left handed as well. There's quite a few of us here isn't there... that's interesting. Mybe us Lefties are simply drawn to this kind of thread.

Probably. I mean, what's the point of me holding up my right hand going "whoo! Yay, righties! 90% of the total population!"?

None at all. I'm just glad I don't have to worry if a certain guitar I may want also comes in corresponding left-hand model.

Being left-handed would make vibrato and bending much easier, though...

@^: I also do those three things left-handed. Weirdness. (Though I think I've golfed maybe once in my entire life)

[Totally Guy]

Being left-handed would make vibrato and bending much easier, though...


What's that? Sounds offensive.

[Nightgaunt]

I'm an abomination when it comes to the right/left debate. I do almost everything right-handed except for three things. I bat, golf, and hold a hockey stick left handed.

Echo, yeah I'm right handed too, except when it comes to any sports. I bat left handed, I fight South-Paw, and I wield a mighty hockey stick left handed too...

Right handed otherwise.

[Winterwind]

What's that? Sounds offensive.:smallbiggrin:

Actually, it's just guitar playing techniques.

[Tzekan]

Left, all the way

[The_Chilli_God]

My hands share their duties.
I write with my left, I use the mouse with my right, I hold my fork with my left hand, and I play right-handed guitar.

Of course, writing with my left hand would traditionally make me a lefty.

[Emperor Ing]

While my left hand is no question stronger than my right, I do everything with my right hand.

Put me down for righty
and for a second there, i thought this was a politics thread >_<

[de-trick]

im a lefty in a righty world, learned to do many things right though

[CurlyKitGirl]

I'm a righty about 80% of the time.
The other 20% I either use both hands or just my left.

[PlatinumJester]

I'm right handed which is fun because I don't have to buy left handed scissors.

[Dragonrider]

I'm very left-handed. in my extended family, the ratio of lefty to righty is 1 to 15 (2 out of 30), which is seriously unfair. My computer configuration leaves everyone's heads spinning, though, because I've got the buttons switched on my mouse (and I use it on the left side) so that's a definite bonus :smallbiggrin:. No one ever wants to borrow my computer.

[Gaelbert]

I'm right handed, but I prefer to do some stuff with my left hand.

[Castaras]

Righty.

Although I can use some stuff with both hands, and other stuff with left hand only.

Mostly Righty though.

[Sir_Norbert]

I'm right-handed.

[Sage in the Playground]

xfc`g hbjnkmRighty

[The Orange Zergling]

Right, my entire family is right as well except for my brother, who is a lefty.

[Micate]

right handed

[CrazedGoblin]

im Ambidextrous

[AtomicKitKat]

A little of both. Generally go right with catching stuff, writing, chopsticks, but I've trained myself to do some things with the left(brushing teeth, barely legible writing, catching stuff I'm aware of), as long as it's not hazardous to my health(eg, if you use your left hand with a right-hand corkscrew, you might be courting death).

[Eldpollard]

I'm right handed.

[Hazkali]

Nominally right-handed, on account of the fact that I write with my right hand. However I'm left-eye dominant, so I shoot bows and guns left-handed, and for some reason I eat left-handed as well.

[Xerillum]

I'm lefty, but I play sports righty.

[bosssmiley]

Depends on what I'm doing. I usually do precision work with my left and strength work with my right. Sometimes I mix it up though. Being ambidextrous is great for when you need to work in a tight space or at wierd angles.

[Em Blackleaf]

I'm ambidextrous, but I tend to tilt more toward lefty.
You decide.

[Thanatos 51-50]

I am decidely right-handed. I use the aforementioned hand fork the majority of work, and it is my "reflex" hand. It performs precise, detailed and controlled actions.
However, my left hand is used ofr any number of automatic actions, such as idily twirling a knife or pencil, opening doors, catching flying objects (I used to play baseball, and as wel all know, your main hand is used to throw), and as my "balance hand.

I've tried trianing myself to be ambidextorus in a few things (in particular, shooting and swordfighting) with generally bad results. (although I can probably attribute to my shooting left-hand problems as happening in the switch-over. I can't get my grip at all correct)

[ForzaFiori]

I write and eat w/ my left, and play my bass right handed.
everything else i'm ambidextrous at.

[AslanCross]

Left here.

[Trog]

Left-handed. I use the mouse Right-handed and I cut with right-handed scissors, though.

[kpenguin]

I'm alright.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

I'm right handed, though most of my friends are south-Paws, and i often wish i was Sinister as well...

[phoenixineohp]

I'm bi... I mean ambi... >.> <.<

My fine motor skills are mostly in my right though.

[Drider]

Right-handed

[Traveling_Angel]

I'm ambidextrous, but I think I'm bit toward lefty. I write right handed, but play racket sports left handed, and find myself doing things naturally with my left hand.

[Skippy]

I'm bi... I mean ambi... >.> <.<

My fine motor skills are mostly in my right though.

Kinky

I'm righty.

[Haruki-kun]

Wow, there are a lot more ambidextrous people than I thought, I gotta say.

[Rex Idiotarum]

Is it any doubt that I'm more sinister than most people?

Is it because the hand near my heart sports my callouses?

[Dhavaer]

Situationally ambidextrous.

[Serpentine]

...I'm not ambidextrous :smallconfused: I said I'm sinister. Sinister! I mean, there are some things I do better/as well with my right hand, but my right-handed writing is about as horrible as my 1st grade.
On the other hand (badum-ch), I did beat the bf, his older brother and the brother's friends at golf using a right-handed golf club :smallamused: But yeah, definitely sinistral.

[Exachix]

I'm Right Handed.

Dispite the rest of my family (Mum, Dad, Brother) are all left-handed.

[Ruik]

Definitely right-handed

[tannish2]

my left arm is near useless for fine movement, the fingers however, are better than my right. i blame the N64 and qwerty keyboards.

[Gygaxphobia]

I'm sinister :smallamused:
>twirls Shiny's moustache<

Yep clearly cursed by the devil. I'm dexter.

Though I have a high degree of cross-dominance. I use my right hand for fine manipulation and my left hand for most sports (baseball and tennis for example).

[Bunny of Faith]

I'm Right Handed.

Dispite the rest of my family (Mum, Dad, Brother) are all left-handed.

I have the inverse of that. I'm left handed, whereas the rest of my family are right. :smallcool:

[Green Bean]

Wow, there are a lot more ambidextrous people than I thought, I gotta say.

I know. I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

[Pyro]

I'm totally a right, but I do some things left handed, like play pool. It's odd, I know.

[BardicDuelist]

Fine motor skills: Left Handed
Stronger Side: Right

Because I am left handed, I have learned to be ambidexterous in many scenerios (because left handed scissors and can openers just aren't common).

[Katonta]

I'm technically right-handed, but I'm actively training myself to become ambidextrous in everything I do. I say technically right-handed because I most often write with my right hand, but I basically split up the work evenly between my left and right hands. Oh, and the weird thing is, even though I'm "right-handed" my left arm can lift heavier things than my right.

[hippie_dwarf]

Lefty. Lefty all the way.

Intersting fact. 1,200 left handed people die a year from using right handed products. That, ladies and gentlemen, is why the world is leftist. The fatc that left handed people have to buy specially designed things proves my point even more. Why doesn't anything come made for both left nad right handed people? WHen was the last time you saw a left handed ledger just called "Ledger" or something?

(I put this in as a laugh, I don't actually hate right handed people (you pinical of evil you ! :smallbiggrin: ) and that fact was from randomstatistics.com, so it's proably not true or taken out of context)

[A Rainy Knight]

I'm right-handed, but I play a lot of sports left-handed. It just feels better to me that way. Not sure why... :smallconfused:

[ufo]

I'm left-handed, but I've been using a computer mouse so much, that I've become half-ways ambidextri (sp?). For example: When I throw a ball, I use the right hand, when I write, I use the left hand.

But as far as I know, I'm left-handed. My whole community might have covered up the truth for my whole life, but I doubt it.

[Ralfarius]

Man, this is the easiest quiz I've taken all day!

Crap, I choked again!

... I'm right-handed.

[Generic_PC]

I'm completely lefty. The only thing that I do righty is use the computer mouse.

[Tom_Violence]

Woo, just when I thought threads here couldn't get much more pointless. The bar has been raised again, in that 5th level Cleric spell kinda way, so that it once more may be beaten to death and a buried in a ditch somewhere.

I am actually full-on tempted to go make a thread called "Tell me your shoe sizes I must know immediately!!".

[heretic]

Righty here.

[Haruki-kun]

...I'm not ambidextrous :smallconfused: I said I'm sinister. Sinister! I mean, there are some things I do better/as well with my right hand, but my right-handed writing is about as horrible as my 1st grade.

Huh............ I don't know how I made that mistake. Yeah, you're right............... I mean, left............. or whatever. You get the picture.


I know. I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

LOL, yeah! Good Idea! Let me know how that goes and I might try it myself!


I am actually full-on tempted to go make a thread called "Tell me your shoe sizes I must know immediately!!".

11 US, in case you were wondering. :smallamused:

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

Size ten. Im thirteen. They stop making them at size thirteen. Yah, im screwed.

[BanjoTheClown]

Im both. Its weird.

[wxdruid]

Mostly right handed, although on the firing range I'm a lefty. It's much easier that way.

[Tom_Violence]

Im both. Its weird.

Seriously, no it isn't. Snowflake.

[Orzel]

I'm righty

The whole left side of my body is stupid.
My left jabs are crooked.
My left abs are weaker.
My left eye doesn't even work!

[Don Julio Anejo]

I'm very very righty... My left hand is useless for pretty much anything that's not holding stuff. Oh yeah, and my left eye doesn't work either :frown:

[North]

Righty. Both are atrocious for writing though. It all comes out very illegible.

[Haruki-kun]

Righty. Both are atrocious for writing though. It all comes out very illegible.

Oh, yeah. I know exactly how you feel.

[Archonic Energy]

Ambi, though working mostly with my right hand has reduced my skill with my left.

it's most visible when i eat, i'm always swapping my knife & fork, it drives my mates nuts!

so does swapping hands while playing Pool... people who don't know me assume i'm showing off.

[Rykaj]

Mostly righthanded, which is convenient in a righthanded world. But train my left side constantly cause it's very handy for stuff like football, most sports actually and cooking. I can kick pretty well with left and even write in decent form.

[Sisqui]

Totally, absolutely, unambiguously right handed. But my Dad is ambi. It's weird to watch him doing someone's taxes. He will write with one hand and run his calculator (without looking at it!) with the other, then switch when one of his hands gets tired. I figure it doesn't matter which hand he's writing with because no one can read his writing either way. Although, his writing is illegible in totally different ways depending on which hand he's using. I guess he must have failed penmanship twice! :smallbiggrin:

[HealytheHealslime]

Lefty for me. I picked up some proficiency in my roght hand from with with the mouse, but I still can't do much with it.

[Saithis Bladewing]

I use both hands fairly well though I'm slightly better with my right due to more practice. I'd call myself ambi.

[DraPrime]

Used to be righty, but when a cow severely broke my right arm I had to use my left hand for a year, and when the cast came of I found myself to ambidextrous. The story of how the cow broke my arm is for another time.

[Charity]

You were told that it would object if you stuck it there...

[Logic]

I eat left handed, I write left handed, I throw right handed, and I bat on either side of the plate in baseball.

I suppose I fall more into the ambidextritious category than left.

[DraPrime]

You were told that it would object if you stuck it there...

NO. It's simple. I was herding cows, and I had this stick that I would poke them with if they didn't move. Well, I poked the cow in front of me, and inadvertently hit one behind me. The one behind me knocked me over and stepped on my arm twice :smallmad: Since then I eat as many of those evil things as I can.

[phoenixineohp]

I'm very very righty... My left hand is useless for pretty much anything that's not holding stuff. Oh yeah, and my left eye doesn't work either :frown:

Unless I am holding a cup or a glass with both hands, my arms try to mess me up. They will grasp it fine for a few minutes, then a little muscle twitch will go through my hand and it will relax just enough to drop whatever it was holding, even if it only relaxes for a fraction of a second. No matter how much I concentrate, my hands just void themselves randomly. It's really bad news when holding a open cup of hot tea. :smalleek:

I wonder if the other ambis also find that they do things with either foot. I don't have a lead foot, so something like snowboarding is slightly awkward. I can go with either foot forward, but neither really feels right. What I want to be able to do it switch back and forth at my discretion.

[DraPrime]

I do have a dominant leg. My right one to be exact. My right eye is also the dominant one. Whenever I aim a gun I use my right eye.

[B-Man]

I'm right handed. My 'good' ear would be my left. My 'good' eye is my left. I kick with my right, I pitch with my right, and I shoot right-handed in hockey.

[TheThan]

Left handed, the only one in my whole family (including aunts uncles, grandparents etc). Although I find myself becoming more ambidextrous, mostly due to the inconveniences of being left handed in a right-handed world. I still count myself left-handed though.

[Morrandir]

Southpaw!

I love Thanksgiving. I get my own table :smallbiggrin:

[TheThan]

Southpaw!

I love Thanksgiving. I get my own table :smallbiggrin:

I just elbow people on my left,

[Morchaint]

Lefty.

Remember, if the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body, then only left-handed people are in their right minds! :smallbiggrin:

Well said.

of course Im left handed. as if you had to ask after quoting h_v

[Quirinus_Obsidian]

I am also one of the few that have been given the gift of ambidextrousness. (is that even a word?!) I think it is ambidexterity. :smile:

Let us just say... that it is very helpful in all sorts of situations. I also am trying to teach myself how to rub my belly and pat my head at the same time. Normally goes with being ambidextrous.

[DraPrime]

I am also one of the few that have been given the gift of ambidextrousness. (is that even a word?!) I think it is ambidexterity. :smile:

The gift of ambidexterity came upon me when a cow stepped on my arm and broke it. I assume you got it through a more fortunate way

[AtomicKitKat]

Let us just say... that it is very helpful in all sorts of situations. I also am trying to teach myself how to rub my belly and pat my head at the same time. Normally goes with being ambidextrous.

Really? I never had much of a problem doing that once I read about it. Brushing your teeth while doing either, that is probably more challenging.

[Tarnag40k]

Right handed. which actually makes me want to get a RHD car likes what they have in england and such, I got to drive a RHD converted 240sx that was for sale and I'm much more at ease with shifting with my left hand and steering with my right.


too bad the car was 1,500 more then I could afford and i couldn't talk him down any.....:smallsigh:

[Kiwi Queen]

I'm a righty, but I can write legibly with my left, since I buckled my right arm during Kindergarden.
