I write with my right hand. I have no preference about which show I put on first. I’d guess I do the right first half the time.
I write with my right hand. I didn’t think I had a pattern WRT putting on shoes, but after putting a little thought into it, I realized I nearly always put my left shoe on first. I don’t know if it matters, but I’m naturally left-handed and was forced to write with my right hand when I was a child. I can eat with either hand.
The first shoe I put on is the one I happen to pick up first. Which is essentially random.
It’s not so much being left eared, but rather I hold the phone with my left hand to free up my right for writing.
Oklahoma! is always popular !
It"s noot US, yor justr seeing moar tpyos, Karn.
Tpyos? wath typso?
I thimk it’s tpying on phones.
Ironically (?), music seems to be the one form of digital content that Amazon sells without DRM.
Yeah, my “other” answer is that Dopers are increasingly typing on teeny little phones instead of full-size computer keyboards.
In other poll discussion, I don’t think I have a specific shoe I put on first; it’s just whichever one I happen to grab first.
Holding your phone with your non-dominate hand is for the same reason you wear a baseball mitt on your non-dominate hand; your other hand has more dexterous tasks at the same time.
I use the phone with my non-dominant hand because I’m almost deaf in my right ear.
I hold phones in my non-dominant hand so that I can write with the other one.
Also I’ve never served, but it’s funny that Thumper668’s poll mentions submariners: I’m a federal contractor who supports a U.S. Navy program that involves sustaining and updating boomers, and I’ve also noticed a surprising (and cool) number of former submariners around here. 
I served in the Peace Corps, but I dont consider myself a veteran.
I don’t either, but “I never served” didn’t feel right. I’m as proud of my year in the Peace Corps as I am of my time in the Navy and Coast Guard. Thus I felt compelled to include Peace Corps service.
Umm, folks, the question was with which hand do you LISTEN to your phone, not type or doomscroll or whatever else.
Whether it’s in an actual phone conversation – or occasionally listening to a song or podcast without earbuds, nor just letting it play in the open like a transistor radio – I LISTEN to my phone with my right hand holding it up to my right ear.
But when typing or doomscrolling (much more common), I hold it with the non-dominant (left) hand, as most of you all do. But that wasn’t the question.
This seems awkward to me. Holding a phone to your ear requires no dominate hand dexterity. Why would you tie up your dominate hand for such a task instead of leaving it free to do more difficult tasks like taking notes or multitasking while listening?
I just put the damn phone on speaker, warming myself via the hate generated by the SDMB community upon reading this sentence.
That was also my “other”.
Because my hearing is a little better in my left ear (I’m left handed) so that works better.
In practice, i usually do this, too.
