We know some people have the ability to do things left-handed even if they’re right-handed, and vice versa, but most people can’t do this. What about you? Are you mostly right-handed or left-handed?
About 85-90 percent of people are right-handed, while only about 10-15 percent are left-handed. It’s pretty uncommon to be completely ambidextrous (using both hands equally), but it is possible.
Did you know there’s an entire store dedicated to left-handed items? It’s called Lefty’s and you can visit it in San Francisco. You can also shop online. And, of course, Amazon offers just about every household product designed for left-handed folks, too. Check it out.
My Dad and baby Brother were left handed, My Mother my two baby sisters and my self are normal. So 33% of my family are weird.
Great comment.
Both, I’m ambidextrous. I found I played sports best with my right handed. I easily switch right to left with power tools. I prefer to write left handed but have better handwriting with my right. My handwriting and signature looks completely different left vs. right. It required many years of training my right hand.
My DD AND MY DAUGHTER ARRE OR WERE BOTH LEFT HANDED. WHEN MY DAD WENT TO SCHOOL, HE Ws born in 1927, the nuns made him write right handed. Fortunately he resisted and wrote left handed all his life. But, he was worse than a Doctor for readability.
I’m in my right mind by being Left-handed. But I can switch hands when doing most chores or work.
There should have been a choice of both, I write and do some eating left handed but use my right for most other things, They say left-handed people are the only ones in their right mind, now I know why I am confused sometimes, LOL
My wife tells a story about her younger brother, that when he was very young, he was ambidextrous. His school teacher, seeing him switch back and forth, forced him to pick a hand. And kept on him about it. How horrible to take that away from someone.
It’s amazing that educators think they are the only ones that know anything. I can remember growing up in the late 40’s, 50’s, and early 60’s teachers scolding students who were naturally left handed about using their right hand. I can see similar thinking today about political views, it must be something that is taught in college that they are the only ones that have intelligence. However without a H.S diploma I have put several educators back where they belong in discussions about education and work ethics. I’m not saying I’m the sharpest tack in the box, but far from the dullest. Lol
Just remember that us left-hand people are the only ones in our “right” minds. Look it up, it’s true.
My sister is left handed and the teachers tried in vain to switch her over. They would slap her knuckles with a ruler to the point she always had bruises on her hand, took a visit to the school by my parents to get them to stop. Only complaint I had with her left hand dominant was at the supper table, no one else in the family could sit next to her.
Both my wife and older son are left-handed; they just need to sit at the left end of the table
I have often joked and said my left hand prevents my watch from sliding off my left wrist, plus it keeps me looking balanced side to side, it also provides a natural place to wear my wedding band. Just don’t expect a lot of coordination out of it. Lol
In my 20s I found the explanation for why I need to do a few things right handed. I’m “cross dominant”. Left handed, but right eyed. So, archery, guns, etc, those things that need the dominant eye, I do right handed. But, I can switch hands for shooting pool & my computer mouse.
My brothers and I are right handed but my older brother plays the quitar left handed!
I’m right handed but have a son and a brother that are left handed.
I am mostly right-handed, but I bat left-handed and I am left-eyed (requiring some adaptation as a movie cameraman).
I am right handed but I deal cards and shoot pool left handed. No idea why!
I’m right handed but oldest and youngest siblings are left handed.
I write and throw left handed. I can do pretty much anything else equally well right or left handed. It’s weird.
My mom and dad, all four grandparents, and my two siblings and I are all right-handed. But 3 of Mom and Dad’s 5 grandchildren are left-handed. Odd!
I have had a number of British sports cars with left hand drive for the USA, shifting with my right hand. I have wondered if I could drive a right hand sports car and shift with my left hand. Are the people in the UK mostly left handed?.
My mother was left handed and my dad was right handed. My mother thought it would be funny to teach me to write with both hands and I could. My first grade teacher told meI had to choose one hand to write with. I do not know, to this day, who died and left her in charge, It wasn’t her decision but she made it anyway.
I’m left-handed and I usually do the majority of things with my right hand. I eat left, write left and and and hmm that’s it, LOL!
