Right handed but eat left handed (American?) - In my defence on that one, the main utensil to shovel into my gob is the fork, so don't know why you'd want that in your weaker hand.

Makes sense if you’re eating say a steak, but most of the time only a fork is needed and when flying solo I will have that in my right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just made me remember something as a kid under 11 I would say I went for tennis lessons and I naturally swapped the racket and played all forehands, it was coached out of me and I was forced to play backhands which I was far worse at..

I've had this debate with my family many times. I eat the same myself. I usually wait until dessert is served and ask them why they are using their right hand and not their left to shovel? ?♂️?♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FindernRam Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I write, throw and kick(mainly) lefty. I catch, bat and play tennis right handed, yet play table tennis either handed but usually left. For stuff like painting(decorating not art) and general DIY I'm pretty much ambidextrous, which is handy as you don't have to move the ladder as often. I think I'm intelligent, but then modesty is a right hander trait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie20 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I'm right-handed but the one thing that I'm aware of doing left-handed is dealing playing cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Mrs goes mad about me eating with the ‘wrong’ hand but I can do either. Obvs I do it ‘wrong’ in the posher restaurants just to wind her up. Shinnie and Sibs both played good passes with their right foot against Blackburn. And Bird I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 13 hours ago, Ellafella said: Statistically of course that's highly unusual but in a very positive way. A couple of years ago I listened to a very good broadcast by England cricket's analyst Simon Hughes who had found some research showing that statistically left-handed batsman were disproportionately represented amongst internationals cricketers and he followed up by interviewing a Cambridge University Neurologist who had carried out neurological research which demonstrated that left-handers have a thicker corpus callosum connecting their left and right brain hemispheres. This means that communication between the visuo-spatial areas of the brain is quicker in the brains of left-handers than in right handers and gives them greater proprioception, which basically gives them an advantage in sport. In short, left-handers perceive and visualise situations quicker. So, 7 left-footers can only be a very good thing.

My Old man was what you would call Cross Dominant, some things he could only do left handed (Play Cricket/Golf) and some things he could only do right handed (Football/Writing/diy) True Ambidextrousness is very rare where people can use either hand to do a task just as effectively.

ariotofmyown Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Used to play cricket with identical twins. One batted right handed and bowled left. The other bowled right handed and batted left. They were both much better and the left handed one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdly I've always felt more comfortable trying to play the guitar left handed although I write with my right. Just feels more natural doing it that way...
