Right handed, right eye dominant...doing anything left handed is a struggle...

Wife is ambidextrous to the max. Write, eat and use chopsticks (for you Vash) and everything else with both hands. I am right dominate. When I broke my right collar bone and three ribs a few years ago on my bike accident, My right arm was in this fooking sling and couldn't do anything with my left. I took a dump, not realized how difficult it was to wipe with my left. Oh siht, (Yeah) what a mess. I call and screamed from the master bath downstairs for some help. She comes down and said, what? I can't ...before I had a chance to finish my sentence, she said, hell no, you are on your own. Going shopping and ran off.

Same with using a screwdriver, tightening is easier with a right hand. I think that the arm muscles are stronger rotating outwards, so I find that I'm stronger loosening a screw with my left hand, and tightening it with my right hand.

depends, write and throw right, bat both, tennis and raquetball both, never tried left handed golf clubs, so I don't know about golf. Shooting feels awkward left handed.

Though I throw like a girl with my right hand, I batted right (naturally), and could from the left side also.... lower avg. but with a bit more power.... go figure? My grandniece was drawing chalk pictures on the driveway when she was mebbe 4-5 years old.... drawing the right side she used her right hand, for the left side (ears, eyes, etc.) she switched the chalk to her left hand... and she drew better with either hand than I can with my left .

Can write first name with left hand while writing last name with right. Kinda hurts a little in the brain to split and track both hands at their individual tasks.

I think I was converted to right hand writing. Can't say for sure. Broke my right hand when I was younger and had to learn to write left handed. I can still write left handed but I really have to concentrate.
