    With all due respect an all...

    I can see why the boys slag us when stuff like this comes up and gets discussed.

    I lolled to myself, so I did.

    Anyways, I mostly carry bags in the crook of my arm, is that the right word? The other side of my elbow.

    Am I a alone?
    Yeah I haven't a clue which shoulder I wear my bag on - whatever one suits at a given moment I suppose...

    right handed, but wear it on the left, as the strap is long and it can go across my body and rest at my right hip. :)

    I'm ambidextrous and can't vote in the poll :(

    I wear mine usually on right shoulder but sometime I feel unbalanced and have to wear it on the left one.

    BTW, what a lovely little non-thread ;)

    :eek: I sincerely hope it's not your ring finger?! You do know that wearing a ring which isn't an engagement or wedding ring on the ring finger of your left hand will result in your spontaneous combustion...! ;)

    Left handed, left shoulder. Get all clumsy and confused if I have something in my left hand and need to pick up the bag with the right hand. And find it near impossible to put a rucksack on my back with the right side first.
    On an aside, I wear my watch on my right wrist cos I can only fasten it with my left hand.

    I'm left-handed for writing but right-handed for most other things.. my left hand is better for things that require manual dexterity, but my right hand is better in terms of strength..

    that's me exactly !!

    I actually had to get up and pick up the bag to check what I do
    Right shoulder if carrying on shoulder but 99% of the time I wear it across my body so strap is on the left shoulder but bag is on the right - if u get me :)

    But... if I'm getting something out of it, i will ALWAYS use my left hand.

    Me too. I'm very very left handed and orientated. I find it very difficult to coordinate most things using my right hand to the extent that when I'm on the phone I have to hold it up to my left ear, I cannot concentrate fully on the conversation if I have the handset to my right ear. Is this weird?

    I don't think my bag would stay on my left shoulder, I just can't keep it there! Always the right shoulder for me

    nope.. not to me anyway.. ,I'm right handed , and I can hold a phone to my right ear, but dosent feel right.., so hold it with left hand to left ear, same with a bag on my right shoulder, cant have it there for any length of time at all.

    dunno why, suppose at some stage, everyone "trains" themselves to do something one way or the other, and it sticks.

    When you look at the back of your hands and straighten your fingers, your left hand makes an L, your right hand doesn't. I can't remember any other way.

    Right handed, but handbag is always on my left shoulder. I wear my watch on my left wrist too. I tend to favour my left hand over my right unless I'm actually writing. Dunno why.

    A certain amount of training yes but I am a very left leftie. Even the way I organise things on my desk at work or at home looks back to front to other people. My niece is showing strong signs of being the sames (she has just turned 2) so I think a lot of it is naturally within a person.

    if you are left handed(which would be naturally within a person), it would be normal to have your mouse and pen holder etc, handy to your left hand. It would seem very odd to have your mouse on the left of the keyboard if you are right handed.

    But then some people approach things from odd angles.. I have seen people writing (the thing with one of those pen yokes) , more or less turn the page 90 degrees and then seemingly write down the page.. (but it was still flat along the lines and usually more readable than my writing)

    But sure, what does it all mean.. if anything...

    I suppose we lefties do everything back to front for all the righties in the world. I think part of the reason that left handed people may look awkward when writing etc is that everything in the world is set up for right handed people.

    Right handed, right shouldered. Left feels like it would fall off.

    do you butter toast with the knife in your left or right hand? If eating something with a spoon, is the spoon in left or right hand? I simply cannot get food on spoon to mouth without making a right mess if I use my right hand, cant butter toast, cut anything etc unless use left hand. ........poor poor me, a slave to the right handed world:o:D

    I always put my everyday handbag over my head with the strap on the right shoulder and the body of the bag towards the front on my left hand side. I never put a bag over one shoulder and just have it hanging on that side on the advice of an osteopath that I attended about 15 years ago.
