Are you Right-handed or Left-handed?

Just wondering really, I never really knew that many Left-handed people before...but I've been noticing I've been meeting a lot more Left-handed people recently, not that it matters, but I was just wondering really…

Me, I'm Right-Handed! I'm pretty useless with my left too. So what are you?

I am right handed. Due to a shoulder injury when I was younger, there was a time I got used doing a lot with my left hand except writing.
Although I've lost most of my ability with the left hand over the years, it pops up now and then when playing sports.

Right handed, but I mouse left. I reverse the keys so that I mirror-image what you'd do with your right hand. Drives the I.T. folks BONKERS when they decide I can't run Ad-Aware on my own and need to do "maintenance" on my machine.

I probably could write left- handed, too, now that I think about it. I had carpal tunnel syndrome and a pretty bad upper back injury about 20 years ago, and as a result my handwriting went from really pretty to really crappy. So any horror in aesthetics resulting from writing left handed... wouldn't matter!!

I'm right-handed, but interestingly enough, I do certain things with my left hand that I can't do with my right. Before you go getting all leery on me, I blow my nose with my left hand. Sorry ... that DOES give a kind of an icky visual.

I'm a righty, my husband is a lefty, and we have a little one who at the age of 7 still can't really decide which hand to use on many tasks! (All our baseball-lovin' friends say we should start training him now to be a great switch-hitter.

)

I'm left handed and so is my wife (both kids are right handed)

Something most of you hopefully never experienced was that the schools & teachers in my day did all they could to discourage the use of the left hand. I actually had my left arm tried behind my back while they forced me to attempt to write with my right hand then of course gave me unsatisfactorys in penmanship. After 2nd grade they gave up and let me use my left hand.

That's harsh JWR, but that was back when they'd punish you with the rack or Cat 'O Nine Tails in the classroom too

j/k

Guess I'm Ambi, I generally use my left hand for writing so perhaps I should be called 'left handed' but strangely use my right if I'm writing vertically- on a board/wall etc. I must be wired wrong.

Can't use my left hand to throw a ball- I throw like a girl LOL

I use my right hand for most things....
but I am ambi-mouse-trous and generally mouse with the left over the right now.

I heard other people use his or her right hand for most things too.

Right handed.

I can do just about anything with my left too, but I must do them muuuuuuuch slower. Heh.
