Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I'm right handed, but being a tradesman, had to learn to be ambidextrous(sp) as I often had to work in tight spaces in switchgear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 There used to be a "Left Handed" shop in The Rocks area of Sydney, where all they sold were left handed tools, scissors etc. All my spanners, hammers, screwdrivers sockets are all R/Handed....LOL Although my drills work both ways, just in case I come across a L/H twist drill..LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites

banjo48 928 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I'm sort of left handed but I'm ambidextrous with most tools, I used to play cricket right or left handed, never could bowl though with either arm. When I was first at school I used to write with both hands quite well but they made me use one hand only, so I now write left handed, but this may change due to onset of arthritis in my knuckles of left hand. I shoot right handed with a rifle, use scissors right handed and feel comfortable using either hand or foot for most things. Golf, left or right. Banjo lefty. Glad to see I'm not alone. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MelissaJKelly 2,124 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 For some reason I always wanted to write what my left hand but still to this day can't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Although predominantly left handed, I'm right footed. My mother reckoned it was because I was born between two birth signs and that I was always going to be an awkward child. Little did she know !!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 For some reason I always wanted to write what my left hand but still to this day can't. That's why you are right handed Melissa ! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StephenFord 866 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Bubblewrap - if you stood on your head to type that, did you have footprints on your forehead? Now, as for me, I'm neither amphibious nor ambiguous - and I can only write with my right hand (which is better than righting with my wrong hand). 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
