Happy International Left-Handers Day

We lefties can’t count. We’re artists not mathematicians!

(I know it’s simulpost idiocynchrasy (sp?) but it’s kind of amusing to pretend it’s not and pretend that people are having trouble working out what the next number should be. I find this amusing because I am currently at the part in ‘men at arms’ where Cuddy is teaching Detritus to count)

ah feet. My feet are strange - I ‘feel’ left-footed, but when playing soccer (I hate not being able to call it football) My accuracy was better with my right foot. (but left foot more powerfull)
can’t say the same about my hands. If I try to throw with my right hand I throw like a 7 year old girl with her eyes closed.

19! Some of us lefties can count!

Speaking of left-handed scissors, I found a pair of Fiskars today that are actually comfortably either-handed – nice soft grips. A very pleasant discovery, since my poor left-handed scissors have been about worn out being used to cut everything over the years.

I’m a firm believer that left-handed people are better at doing things with their right hand than right-handed people are with their left hand – mostly from sheer necessity. A few things are made left-handed, but for example, I have yet to find a left-handed computer keyboard, that has the number pad on the left. Something I would kill for.

Nah, you’re 18 Mama Tiger

So does that make me 20 then? Or will someone happen to post before ME?

Ok, fine, I’m 19. Maybe I just can’t read.

Okay, give it up. It’s like this:

Dogmom-1
Aunt-2
Curious Canuck-3
Second Star-Many
Romansperson-Lots
Everybody else is just lots and lots.

Dibs on 20

Please put the mouse back on the left side when you are done.

21

And righties
who use my
computer have
the nerve to
complain about
the mouse.
So I’m not using
the right side of
this thread out of
protest.

“Lots and lots” + 1

One more here.

I golf left, but putt right,
right eye dominant
shoot rifles righty but pistols left,
left footed,
And I can do things with my right hand better than most right handed people can, but they suck anyways.

Me too! Fnord is right, right-hand people suck :smiley: I myself do not have a right hand. I have a left hand and a wrong hand. It’s not the right hand for much of anything(although I do use it for the mouse), so why call it that?

DON’T count me again!~!!!..(((I’m #2 !!!))) (uh…well, I mean I responded SECOND)
I just had to re-respond…and add my 2cents…

I am left handed when I eat, write, smoke, and shoot pool.
I am STRONGER with my right hand.
I cut with scissors, bowl, bat, golf (miniature), shoot, use the 10-key adding machine (came in handy: add #'s with right, write info down w/left) and use the computer mouse right handed.
I am not ambidextrious (sp?)
I am an artist
I am off the wall
I am done.

Are there people here who are actually ambidexterous and not realizing it hint hint?

I hate to say this and I apologise to anyone it applies to but it bugs me (slightly) when I hear people say “I am left handed” and then list loads of things they do with their right hand.

I do almost nothing with my right hand - The things I do do with it are out of necesity -

All the two-hand jobs must use right hand (duh) such as using keyboard, riding bike, playing gameboy, eating dinner etc…

Carrying things - I have terrible shoulder ‘problems’ (it doesn’t hurt, but it feels very very uncomfortable sometimes, especially after long periods of using the mouse) so in the hope of leveling things out I carry heavy things with my right hand as often as possible.
I have been told that I was ambidexterous as a child, but I never remember it.

<flinches and cowers>

P.S. Don’t count me - I am number 15.

Why are we doing this number thing? Whatever, count me in :wink:

Eat and write with my left
I’m right handed (or footed) for all non-racket sports (basketball, football, golf, hockey, bowling etc) - so my right is stronger than my left
And the computer-mouse is used by my right-hand too

Lots and lots + 2

Oops, I guess I just pissed Lobsang off…

<wishing I didn’t open my big stupid left-handed mouth>

sorry guys.

Don’t worry about it, Lob :wink:

25! (Although Left-Handers Day hath already passed in Australia.)
