Poll question: Left or Right?
Your hands silly! Are you Left-Handed or Right-Handed?

1. I am naturally right handed
However, being that i have come to realize that all things "right" are evil, I have trained myself over the years to be left handed. I am now happily left handed in all my daily activities, and in a related story, I have the worst penmanship in history. :)

2. A question for Lefties...
What things do you find to be most difficult to do (in a right handed world) as a leftie?

4. I write and draw
best with my left hand, it is more accurate, I hammer, saw, mouse, etc. with the right it is stronger.
In grade school, I could switch hit and pitch.

7. my list of irritation:
Edited on Mon Mar-29-04 02:44 PM by Endangered Specie
- scissors, definetly.

- right handed laser tag guns (even though I still kick butt), this applies to many real world guns too, especially bolt actions.

- the occasional chainsaw is very right-handed.

- When I was little, no one (who was right handed) could teach me basic tasks with your hands. (maybe thats why people say we are more creative, we have to teach ourselves how to do many tasks).

- Having to shake with your right hand is very unnatural feeling, and I often offer my left hand first.

- Cars, especially manuals.

edit: me grammar be bad, + more irritance

3. I'm right-handed.
Everything else about me is way to the left! I think I even, ahem, hang to the left. Talk about body language! B-)

10. Extensive research....
on my part has disclosed that most right-handed men "dress left." It's actually not too hard to figure out why. (I'm right-handed, by the way.)

5. This is Outrageous!! Disgusting, I tell you.
I can't believe that after all my hard work and sacrifice that there
are such a large percentage of "so-called DU'ers" that align themselves with the right.

Why don't you go over to Freeperland ...You Traitors!!

6. I bat left and do everything else right.

Although when I am playing putt putt golf I sometimes find myself standing in the manner of a left-hander.

I also use my left hand when I fail to be "master of my domain."
Everything else right handed.

13. For writing, right-handed, for sports, left-handed
probably because my stepfather was left-handed, so all the sports equipment I had access to (like hockey sticks) were left-handed.
