View Full Version : Left vs Right Handed?
LiLMissADDitude 09-11-03, 08:26 PM Right Handers are normally more left-brained while left-handers are more right-brained. Of course there are some right handers who are more right brained and vise versa.
If you read about right brained people you will notice that many of these traits are "symptoms" of ADD.
I am ambidexterous. I prefer to write with my left hand but do everything else (cut paper, use tools, catch, throw, eat, brush my teeth etc) with my right hand. I can write with my right hand too but left feels more comfortable for me.
Oh that's too funny! I'm a,bodexterous too. I do everything but write left handed! I can pitch a ball with either hand as well as bat either handed. I switch hands when ever one gets tired ;)
I eat and write with my left but do just about everything else with my right hand.
tiggwin 09-11-03, 10:53 PM I'm mostly right handed, but I mouse left handed at work and right handed at home.
I'm a leftie. Whee!
You know what they say about us lefties - We're the only ones in our right minds ;)
lol Kelly :)
I'm a hard-core right-handed person, and most think I'm out somewhere in left field. Go figure.
ferrette1976 09-12-03, 10:36 AM Right-handed all the way.
Except when I was a gymnast I had to learn to leap with my left leg due to an injury on my right. From then on I could always do it better leftie than rightie.
joanrdtobe 09-12-03, 01:21 PM Right-handed and do most everything with my right hand....
Gee, where did I learn to spell?! Not!
jimmmaaa 09-12-03, 06:27 PM I'm a righty.
sleepzalot 09-17-03, 10:48 AM Right for me.

vinceptor 09-17-03, 03:17 PM I put down ambidextrous, although I write right-handed. I left-hand the mouse, to balance the load, and had no problems switching in the first place. I can write left-handed, but it looks like a 2d grader wrote it (not that my right handwriting is legible, either....).

Me too, Ken. Always wanted to be completely lefty, just to be different. :)
Can't use a knife unless its with my left hand. Can paint lefty, cut lefty with lefty scissors....
When bored, I still practice writing with my left hand. That's enough to entertain me for quite some time! :D
vinceptor 09-20-03, 02:39 PM Well -- it gets weirder than that....
I have long toes and when a little boy, I used to sneak my feet out of my shoes and reach under the dining table to pinch my little sister's legs (typical sib rivalry).
BTW, if anyone is starting to feel sorry for her, she was half again as big as me even though three years younger -- she liked to sit on me.....
Anyway, she always called me "quadridextrous" after that.
Hmmm... does that mean I have four brain lobes instead of the usual two? I've just GOT to get me down to Amen's clinic and freak out the image techs....
I still sometimes pick things up with my toes off the floor when I don't feel like bending over -- easy things like clothes and pencils....
Gee -- I wonder if there is a forum for human quadrupeds.....

LiLMissADDitude 09-20-03, 02:58 PM I saw a guy on tv who could make sandwiches with his feet...... of course no body wanted to actually eat the sandwiches...
The though of peanut butter and toe jam..... YUCK!!
He didnt even wash his feet b4 he made it, but then some guy came out of the audience and ate it...... and then he drank a beer that some other dude opened with his belly button.
vinceptor 09-21-03, 10:25 PM Yuk indeed -- I don't eat with my feet, washed or otherwise. Besides, I'm not that flexible.....
Ken
Hmm... let's see... which one is the right hand.... hmmm.... oh i know! *raises the left*
(yes when asked i tend to look down and stare at both hands.. then i figure out which is which, hee :D)
Ambidextrous here :D Write with the right, kick, hop with left, play golf, hockey as a lefty too (do you know how hard it is to find sticks???) stir with either, eat with either... throw with right.. so on
oh ken! i do that too!!! i pick almost everything with my foot :D socks, pens, almost anything.. (mum calls me lazy but i bet she can't do it ha! :P)
vinceptor 09-22-03, 03:14 PM Bratty --
Wow! I thought I was unique (flash on "Life of Brian" scene -- "we are all individuals!").
This may be a subject for a new poll %P !!!!
Do you....(pick as many as applies)
1. Pick up your undies with your feet?
2. Open beer bottles with your navel?
3. Cool yourself off by flapping your ears?
4. Wiggle your nose when you eat carrots?
5. Other (please DON'T specify!)

I have to admit even though Im embarased by it being a truck driver and not knowing right from left with out thinking about it first has caused me considerable problems.
Most people know left from right with out thinking about it
also without my compas I have no idea of what direction I am going if there are no road signs
in the USA on the free ways if your going north and south
the mile makers go down for south and up for north
and up for east and down for west which helps a lot
my wife and I were in the resturant on day and a lady with no arms who does everthing with her feet.
Donna has known of her for many years but it was the first time I ever saw her
I was ammazed
a young lad in a group work area here in Ontario his job is to put labels on boxes with his feet as he also has no arms (Stubs)
he is severly handicaped pysically and mentally but man could he whip those boxes out all with perfectly placed labels on them
I'm right handed :D Woohoo More proof i am ADD :D
I am left handed another proof i am a genius :p (to Draga)
Any lefty remember the trouble at school for writting with the left hand? I remember getting the ruler on my hand in first grade. The nun was telling me put your hand on the desk,....so she could slap me. I was not a stupid kid, and as soon as she was going to hit me i would take my hand off. That usually had 2 effect, i was sent to the principals office, or i would get double the amount of slap if they ever got me to keep my hand there.
Since lefties work from the right side of the brain and the righty with the left side of the brain.
Only left handed people are in their right mind....
auntchris 02-04-05, 08:17 PM I am a rightie no doubt about it...
