Left vs. Right (Page 2)

Righty all the way - except for my politics.

The psychologist I work with on the inpatient unit is a lefty. All her siblings are also lefties. Her aunts and grandmother are lefties. Her mother was a righty - but had a condition known as situs inversus (discovered years after a screwed up appendectomy) where all her internal organs are on the reverse side. I pointed out that maybe her mother was actually a lefty, but with everything being on the opposite side, her left handed dominance also ended up changing to right handedness.

EXACTLY the same.   There have only been like 4 or 5 major league baseball players who throw left and bat right, btw.

What's hilarious here is that when people hand me a pen to sign something, and I reach out with my left hand to take the pen, they WON'T HAND IT TO ME.   They try to get me to take it in my right hand!

Sorry folks, I only know one way to write!  Then, while I sign my name they stare at me like I just pooped a unicorn or something.

I would have picked ambidextrous; righty for writing, throwing, shaving, hammering.  Lefty for many other things, like brushing teeth, remote control, and a bunch of other tasks.

I had some neuro-psych testing done a couple years ago, and the Doc thought I may have been left handed, but I explained my right hand was still sore from shoveling snow.  She changed her position to more ambi.

Left for writing, eating and tennis etc.

Golf or any other two handed bat sports, right handed.

Computer mouse - right handed so can write left handed at the same time....

Same when people want me to sign something they kind of hesitate when I take the pen with left hand....

Husband right, daughter right.

Mother - totally ambidextrous, dad right.  Brother left, two sisters right.

Goofy or regular foot? I am left handed but kick right. Well I can also kick left decent but not as good.

mixed dominance here but I write with my right so I used that for an answer....

goofy

eat lefty mostly

left eyed

fenced both but mostly right

Lefty, but also do a lot of things right-handed:

Left:

write

tennis

bowling

pistol shooting

kicking/punting

Right:

golf

basketball

batted right in baseball

throwing (baseball & football)

rifle shooting

I initially learned to play baseball and golf right-handed because all I had was hand-me-down right-handed equipment.  There was some advantage to the way I learned in that the mechanics of lefty tennis backhand, and right-handed golf swing and batting are all very similar. 

I learned to shoot with a right-handed bolt action .22 rifle, but was at a disadvantage because I wasn't using my dominate eye; I'm sure that's why I shoot better with my pistol left-handed.

My entre family (dad, mom & both brothers) were left-handed.

I married a lefty; my daughter is right-handed and my son is left-handed.

Mark

Me too - except the pool part. I also golf, swing a baseball bat, and do anything else with a similar stance as a lefty.

Well, the Latin (and Italian) word for left is Sinistra - from which the English word sinister is derived.

Does anybody know if eye dominance is tied to R or L-handedness?  I am left eye dominant, but R-hand dominant.  Just curious.
