Can you do anything well with your non-dominant hand/side?
 

I'm right-handed. But I can snap my fingers using my left hand much better than on my right. Not exactly a skill to put on my resume but whatever. I carry my purse on my left shoulder too; it feels strange on my right side. When I took karate I also felt more comfortable punching from my left.

What about you? Or are you ambidextrous?

I'm right handed. My left thumb is more flexible than my right so making 3 is easier with my left.

I can play the castanets with my left just as well as with my right. I can't write with my left hand to save my life.

I skateboard left sided. And when I rolled my own cigarettes, I evidently rolled them left sided (it was 1996, I was at Berkeley, and I thought I was cool.... but I wasn't.)

I cannot file my nails with my left hand. I hold the file and move my right hand back and forth.

No. I'm right handed and can't do anything with my left unless my right is involved.

I can also snap better with my left hand and open jars and bottles better with my left.

my left hand is useless. i can do more with my feet.

I'm guessing most of you righties don't realize it but you're more comfortable opening bathroom stalls with your left hand. In my informal poll of places I use, the stalls are most often set up to open with the left hand, I assume thinking that will lead to increased cleanliness since most people use their right hands for dirty business....


Because most of the US is designed for righties, there's a lot I can do with my right hand. Shifting gears in a car, adjusting windshield wipers, using scissors, etc. I have been known at random to write things with my right hand just because often something is set up so there is a clip on a clipboard, rings on a notebook, etc., in the way if you want to write left handed.

I am an abject failure when it comes to mousing with the left hand, which is unfortunate and ironic because I had a bout of tendonitis in my right wrist where switching hands would have been a nice option. I am better at opening gates from horseback with my right hand, and can only throw a rope with my right hand. I tend to throw/catch right handed since most of the time only left hand gloves are available.

The strangest left-side only thing I have (to me) is that I can NOT talk on the phone with it on my right ear. I can hold the phone with my right hand while taking a note on something, but the phone has to be on the left side.

I'm ambidextrous. I favor my right with writing and drawing because it's faster. If I worked at it more it'd probably be the same. I keep saying I will, but usually I just do it for the occasional "look what I can do" trick. I tend to use whatever hand is convenient, with some weird preferences here and there.

I can mouse with my right hand and open a combination locker with my right hand. I think that's about it.

I read this twice as canasta. :lol: I need to slow down my reading.

NETG! I'm a leftie and the same way with a phone! It absolutely has to be on my left ear. There is no way I can mouse with my left hand either.

I'm a righty and before I got old and decrepit, I used to snowboard "goofy" (backwards/left-dominant).

I've only played canasta once or twice as a young girl. :)

I don't recall what hand I held my cards in. But probably my left, just like when I play cards with my mom now.

And the castanets I haven't used in years and years. My mom put me in dance classes as a child. Ballet folklorico and spanish dance.

I loved those classes.

dont you need both hands to cast a net?:dontknow:

Actually, I just use a smile to cast a net.

and i only wear a smile when i use a castanet

well i was a lefty forced to conform to a righty as a kid so i naturally do things with my left without even realizing it. for ex, when i was in a sewing class the teacher observed me for awhile then just blurted out "luvmylocs, are you left handed". since there's less true writing these days i don't really feel like my right gets radically more use than my left. i think i shower/clean with both hands, for fun sometimes i brush my teeth with my left.

i'm a lefty tucked in a righties world!!

I am right handed, but I do any tumbling (cartwheels, round-offs, walkovers, etc.) left handed/footed.

So strange that people used to do that to lefties...

I'm right handed, but I crochet with my left hand. This is because my dad is the one who taught me to crochet. He is left handed, but his tribe believed it to be a curse, so he was PUNISHED every time he used his left until he only used his right. He is now a naturalized ambidextrous person (I say naturalized because he wasn't born that way). He cooks with his left, irons clothes with his left etc. I can iron with my left hand and I can snap with both hands equally. I can't write with my left. My dad can cursive with both his hands, I think that's super cool!!!

I also wear my purse on my left side. I cannot do it on my right, it just feels awkward and it keeps sliding off.
