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

I read that centuries ago they used to think that being left handed was a mental illness. How f-ing crazy is that?

The word "sinister" comes from the Latin word for left handedness.

[quote] Which one better describes you?

Allow me to introduce myself.

Has someone been watching the Simpsons r7?

My sixth grade teacher, Mr. Gorsuch, had terrible handwriting. When someone mentioned it, he said it was because his grandmother (can't remember where she was from) refused to let him use his left hand for anything in a dominant fashion. The devil preferred southpaws, she said.

Me, being left handed, was thrilled with this new supernatural info.

I'm right handed but only jerk off with my left hand. Always. I'm not sure why that is.

Reagan, Bush, Clinton.

Me.

I heard we die younger? Wtf up with that?

This gives me bad flashbacks of my Italian immigrant grandmother swatting at me for eating food with my left hand.

Left handers allegedly die younger as they are more likely to get into various accidents in a right-handed world.

LEFT handedness also correlates with Gayness

(People began shaking RIGHT hands to show they had no weapon)

I don't know any gay people who are left handed. That's just more BS to correlate "fucked up behaviour" with being a gay man.

I'm left handed. So is my father and his mother. I remember being little and in Sunday school the teacher berated me for using my left hand. I also couldn't use right handed scissors so i had to adapt and i only use them in my right hand now.

Rafael Nadal is left handed. So we have a near perfect ass on our side.

I am right handed but can write with my left as well. I throw a ball with my right but a frisbee with my left. I am left footed and can only lead/kick with that, though.

More likely to be gay and bottom to boot!

I write left handed.

I throw a ball right handed. I used to throw with both until a separated my left shoulder. Now right only.

I bat/swing a golf club left handed.

I shoot left handed.

I use scissors right handed.

I use knife/fork/spoon left handed.

I shoot a basketball left handed.

Frisbee right handed.

Use a saw left handed.

Am I considered lefty or ambidextrous?

Whatever you jerk with is the obvious answer.

Being partially left handed and partially right handed is called mixed handedness or cross-dominance. Apparently it's even rarer than being a pure lefty. I have this, and also ran into the "why are you using the lefty scissors you asked for in your right hand?" situation in grade school.

R25 the scissors question has plagued me all my life, too! And the same with butter knives, computer mouse/scrollers, etc.

Conclusion: being a gay, mix-hander, DL-poster is basically just like being an X-Men mutant. A badass, yet torturous existence.

R23, probably a lefty. I read somewhere that many lefties can use their right hand with scissors (myself included) because they only had like two left handed scissors (remember that ours were green and righties were red!) for the whole class and were forced to use right handed scissors.

Besides that and frisbee, you seem to be a southpaw.
