Your handedness

[JaggedJimmyJay]

It's all in the poll. You may select two options if you feel like one of them doesn't sufficiently describe your handedness.

what kind of tasks would one do with the other hand? I mean, I use my left hand...

[dunya]

I can't write with my left hand, but I can do stuff with it. Ever since I started playing piano, my left hand has become a lot more useful.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

I tend to perform feats of dexterity (writing, table tennis, drawing, eating utensils) with my left hand and feats of strength (throwing, regular tennis, punching) with my right hand.

[G-Man]

I should have been left-handed. My mother told me that, when I started coloring and writing as a kid, I would default to my left hand. She worked hard to force me to use my right hand. My dad is left-handed and a number of people up through the family tree are as well.

I hold a hockey stick left-handed and I iron left-handed. I can't think of anything else right now though. I am pretty ambidextrous when it comes to eating utensils (though I predominately use my right hand to work the knife).

Why though?

hmmmm. I don't think I would choose to throw or punch with my left hand because it's weaker imo. but when my right hand gets tired, I can use my left hand (tho less effectively).

damn, I walked right into that one.

Took longer than I expected for the masturbation joke to appear.

I'm not handy at all.

This is quite normal. I'm not sciency, but I think it's muscle density to blame. The arm that requires precision doesn't want a big dense muscle in it, so the other arm tends to be stronger. When people throw with their main hand it's likely to be as a result of co-ordination rather than strength.

Glad to be of service.

whur muh lefties

[S~V~S]

Iam naturally right handed, but my Mom was a lefty, and she taught me how to do things, so I write righty but do my daily living stuff lefty.

[Sloonei]

I use my right hand to hate turtles.

i mean, im left handed but obviously i do some things with my right. i don't know where left-handedness becomes mixed-handed.

Technically it begins at the first off-hand activity, so you'd be mixed-handed. In popular terms though, the writing hand is the determinant factor (and by that criteria I'd be left-handed).

[speedchuck]

Ah, okay. I do a couple of things left-handed. Fighting/punching, for one, back when I took martial arts.

[nutella]

excuse me what the hell am i looking at here

[dunya]

Jay's just getting jiggy with it. #summerjam

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Startlingly few among those of us who have hands seem to like turtles.

[S~V~S]

When I was a kid I saw someone get a toe bitten off by a snapping turtle. I am a bit shy of turtles that aren't tiny or photographs.

[Tangrowth]

I can't really do much of anything with my left hand.

It's your fault for only giving us two options.
