I too am a lefty, except for using scissors. I blame my scissor use, (and other peoples sports equipment use) on what was available when I was a kid. I could use the stupid little lefthand scissors or the decent right handed scissors.
I’m officially a Leftie, because I write left-handed and eat with my fork in my left hand.
I’m pretty mixed when it comes to other things, especially sports.
Bat: left
Catch and throw: right
Tennis: left
Golf: right
Hockey: left (which is weird because you’d think hockey and golf would be the same)
Fencing: left
Archery: I’m equally good on either side
Kicking a ball: right
yanceylebeef and zoid and anyone else who, like me, uses your left hand for some tasks but not all, you are/were ambidextrous.
When I was a child I’d print my shaky letters with my left hand to the middle of the page, then switch to my right. I’m sure if I’d been encouraged to continue, I would write as well with my right as my left.
Even if no one comments, peer pressure, I suspect, plays a role in choosing which hand we use for various tasks. So, alas, the ability to truely multi-task is lost forever. 
Put me in the Lefties Club.
I once was more ambidextrous, but using my left hand became easier. I still bat, kick and play tennis right handed, however my left hand is used for pretty much everything else.
TMI!
I feel compelled to post again. See, I am at ACBG’s (that’s my current main squeeze for all of you who have yet to figure out that keeping up with the minutiae of my life is of utmost importance) house tonight. He is a righty and I am a total, in everything, leftie. I’m using his computer which he rarely uses, so I switched the mouse to lefty. On the rare occasions he uses it, he uses the mouse switched to lefty status. He just doesn’t care. I swear I don’t know why the man ever bought a computer. Except, I can play on it when I spend the night. 
Do y’all reckon it’s possible to make a lefty out of a righty? Should I continue my already under way evil experiment? Will ACBG kill me if he finds out I’m sayin’ this stuff on his computer? Should I stop with all the questions before he gets out of the shower and sees what I’m doing?
Ahh… lefty, righty, I love the critter no matter what.
My brother, who is left-handed as well, uses the mouse in his right hand so he can have his left hand free for writing.
Hi Swampy, sure you can make a righty into a lefty. Of course, he’ll become a serial killer, or straight in the process.
I’d leave well enough alone, if I were you.
I’m left-handed too. Go me! Go you!
Doesn’t everyone eat with the fork in their left hand? I never seen someone eat with a fork in their right hand.
This is true. I finally convinced myself there were no shallow graves in ACBG’s back yard or bodies in the attic. I don’t want to turn him into a serial killer or make him straight. I think dating a serial killer would be kinda hard to do, being as he’d need to be out strangling, maiming and otherwise mutilating his victims and that would cut into my time with him. If I made him straight, then I’d have to start looking again and that’s just too much trouble.
I think I’ll leave my righty boyfriend just like he is.
Huh? :dubious:
Seconded. I use my right hand–also to write, brush my hair, dribble a basketball, etc.–but everyone I know uses their dominant hand to hold the fork with. :dubious:
I guess this is just something you do differently over there. Over here everyone holds their folk in their left hand. I’ve been to America 3 times. You think I’d have noticed.
Crazy Americans. 
I do everything left-handed except use scissors and send morse code.
<AWWWWWWWWWW>swampy said the L word. <AWWWWWWWWWW> After years of “left-handing” my mouse I developed what I call Mouse Elbow so I was forced to learn to use my mouse with my right hand. Awkward at first but now just as good as my left. The elbow got better but I’ve stayed with the mouse on the right side cause it’s easier when I have to use someone else’s computer.
For some reason, I actually can’t use a mouse with my left hand. I always end up right-clicking when I don’t want to. I’m just so used to it on the right, I gave up.
Now wait… I was raised in a household of Welsh immigrants. I use both knife and fork as I eat, unlike most folks here, knife in my right hand, fork in the left.
My grandmother was right handed. She held her fork in her right hand and knife in her left.
My grandfather was left handed and held his utensils as I do.
Most Americans who are right handed, hold their fork in their right hand to eat. Their knife is only picked up when cutting (meat). Then they switch the fork to their left while using their knife, held in the right hand.
I don’t switch, since I can use an knife with either hand without removing body parts.
I come from strong, peasant stock, so their table manners may have been wanting.
Everyone is born right-handed, only the greatest can overcome it.
Unlike the stereotypes, my handwriting is legible, I know how to tie my shoes, I can use manual can openers, and I’m not a criminal.
I mouse right handed. I can cut with a knife with either hand, but only with my right when using scissors.
I like being a southpaw, it means I always get to sit at the end of the table.
Everyone in my family (except my Dad and I) holds their fork in their left hand, so they can cut their meat, then switches their fork to their right hand to actually put food in their mouth. If no knife is needed, say, for soup or whatever, they just always have their fork/spoon in their right hand.
