I am right handed, but my left eye is dominate as is my left foot. If I look at the bottom of my old shoes I can see the left shoe wears out faster because I seem to pivot with my left foot most of the time.

I guess I am well balanced!

I was born left-handed but now identify as a right hander. But sometimes my left will still dominate my right. They fight all the time. Specifically the Left little piggy -who stayed home- seems to be getting uppity with the right lil' piggy that went to the market ... but I don't want to PARF this thread. These topics are too important to the OT shelter.

Need more detail now...if you're willing. That must have been incredibly difficult.

I'm a mutt 😁

I write and throw left handed.
I bat right hand and kick right footed . Also swing hammer right handed .
Using tools like a screwdriver it doesn't matter each hand is comfortable .

Mebbe the righties didn't understand the poll, or didn't know how to vote ?

I'm not suprised tho' .... PPOT is full of smart folks .

A similar poll would yield totally different results over in ...

Nevermind

My grandmother (dad's mom) was born left handed but she was born in 1901. Her teachers forced her to write right handed. She ended up being ambidextrous and could write with either hand and sign her name left or right handed.

I always figured I would give my left arm to be ambidextrous.

I haven't used a mouse in a looooong time.... don't care how the buttons are configured, but it's gotta be in my left hand.

Right handed people have their right privilege so ingrained in them, that they don't even see things like a poll about handedness. Literally, the screen is blank in front of them when they look at that. Therefore, they get under-represented in such polls.
