    Fellow south-paw. I do most things left -handed. I'm also left-footed.

    I can use the calculator, shoot pool, and bowl with my right-hand but I wouldn't say I'm good at any of that. LOL

    I'm left handed despite my grandparents trying to change that! :laugh: Outta the six of us at home half are left handed, half are ginger and I'm the only one with green eyes (rest are blue-eyed) strange huh?

    My boyfriend calls me "cack-handed" the cheeky bugger!

    I'm mostly left-handed, but I golf, bat, kick, and shoot right-handed. I think I wouldn't make it if I had to do fine-motor-skills sort of things with my right hand...it's useless that way. :-)

    I'm a lefty!!! Only thing I do right handed is cut with scissors and use my computer mouse. I'm definitely creative and athletic. My dad and grandpa are the only left-handers I know of in my family.

    I am left handed!!! I do almost everything with my left hand but since no one else in my family is left handed I learned to play most sports the right handed way. I am always having to adjust to the right handed world haha.

    Left-handed. When I was a baby and started picking up things with my left hand, my father tried to make me use my right hand and blamed my mother because she used to sit in front of my highchair at feeding time and hand me stuff with her right and he swore I was mirroring her. His attempts never worked.

    I've learned to be minorly ambidextrous when it comes to some things, mostly using my jewelry tools or certain mediums when I'm drawing/painting. I did manage to learn how to draw with my right hand using the computer mouse for 4 years. I couldn't afford a digital drawing tablet back then and I wanted to draw digitally so I just worked with my right hand. I can also eat with my right, I learned that when I had 4 different surgeries on my left arm when I was 19 and the bandaging was almost to my shoulder for roughly a month.

    My boyfriend was born left-handed as well but his mother was more adamant about which hand he used so he's a righty now.

    I've actually had people be bothered with me using my left hand and I'm never sure why. Go to sign a receipt and a cashier makes the comment, "oh... you're left-handed...." like I just gave her bad news. I've had people in restaurants stare as I eat, especially when I was a kid. It was like they were thinking I was experimenting with the "wrong" hand and just waiting for me to drop food on myself.

    Do most things lefty, even scissors (adapting to the right handed world I guess), bat, throw, play tennis, but I eat with mostly with my right. Go figure. But the only left-hander in my entire family...on both sides!

    lefty! when i first got my job, i had to specifically ask for a pair of scissors that wasn't already molded for a righty.

    Ever notice how gas pumps are set up for righty's too? As if the gas line never seems to twist the right way!
