To all lefties out there, I have started a group for us. It's called "lefties only -no wrong handers ok".
If you really are ambidexterous then we will consider you.
It's just out of a silly comment on a thread that I started it. :)

I would give my right arm to be ambidextrous!
Left handers are of a right mind
Well if you tried that I would definately let you into our left hander groupQuote:

Hmmm, you may have to send your razors to my workshop to have them lefthandeded. But you are welcome to join as you were honest. :)
I don't know it I'm right or left handed, have to check in the mirror next time I shave...
I will be honest here, I think this sort of thing is why kids get their left and right mixed up.Quote:

I think imogen has relearned right and left now though.
I'm a lefty! Nothing is made for us!
Apart from my group :) and special left handed scissors :)Quote:

Few realized it and of course all their work was worthless and they flunked the exercise.
I write with my right hand but eat with my left. I can juggle 2 balls with a single hand, either right of left. Does this mean I'm ambi, or these are simply feats that I've taught myself?
Ed, I am joining despite anything you may say. I am ambidextrous but in all honesty I am at the same time only left handed or only right handed. I often find myself just using one hand to do everything, ignoring the other hand. Everything except write, can only do that with my right hand. Maybe I should start a thread for "'Other handedness People'.
What qualifies someone as being left-handed? I write with my right hand, bowl,play racquetball & tennis right handed, shoot right hand, play basketball right hand. But I throw left-handed, kick with my left foot, golf left. Both hands to shave ,eat, and throw darts. What am I?
I write, eat, shoot, and shave left handed. Everything else is just whatever feels natural. Usually with sports its different each day especially soccer/football/anything to do with my feet. Bowling I suck at no matter which hand I use.
Sounds like you are predominately right handed, but I am no expert. Left handers are in my opinion folk who do most or all things requiring only one hand.with their left. And ambi's can use either hand for any task.Quote:

Left-handers are funnier.
I insist that as an ambi that you complete the same task concurrently with both hands and see which comes out best :)Quote:

Anyone got a lefty kamisori?
I know there is Japanese kitchen knives for lefties, rarer and usually way more expensive.
Also way harder to sharpen them for me as a right handed guy!
This thread is long overdue. Perhaps we can pool our collective buying power for a group buy on left-handed strops.
I revel in going through salad bars and leaving the handles on serving implements pointed to the left.
Considering everyones enthusiasm, there are still only 3 members, don't be scared we won't hurt you.:)
Left handing shared desks at work is fun too, move the mousemat and phone etc. :)Quote:

I am a leftie, I hated it growing up. I rather enjoy it now. I was hoping one of my boys would be a leftie but alas, they're righties. I do a lot of things right handed for example I shoot a rifle right handed, hand gun left. I think all lefties are ambidextrous to one degree or another. I am in!
Your post edited for clarity.Quote:

Ed, you ought to call the Master At (Left) Arms and show the glory seeker the door.
It'd be a bit tough to rough up am octagenarian. Perhaps we could have some sort of associate status, or maybe let righties in to do menial work round the clubhouse :-)Quote:

Oh come on now, that was a bit harsh, keep going like that and you'll be of the Christmas list :)
I was never on one. Wrong holiday. As a matter of fact, it would be the wrong holiday no matter what.
Christmas in the Hewitt household isnt a religious affair, just a time to be together.Quote:

Sounds like a lot of lefty-wannabee misdirection to me. Still, maybe he can be taught to point the buffet utensils in the correct direction.Quote:

They all had one predominant feature in common with each other - they were all left handed! It is worth noting that Einstein learned to speak late, had problems in almost every subject in school and was frequently labelled as being backwards! So there is certainly no need for any left-hander to have an inferiority complex!"
