    lefty and proud. can write up straight same as a righty, can't actually work out how or why some lefties write hooked style or turn the page slanty, or why on earth are some lefties saying they can't iron.... or is that just their excuse to get out of doing it :D

    taught myself to write righthandedly few years ago - love confusing people when I switch hands midway through a meeting. they know something is different but they just can't work it out


    Shut up...

    When I first started cutting in the salon we had to get a left handed teacher to teach me! Twas a pain in the ass so I looked through the mirror then to see how to do something!

    I can iron perfectly, I just turn the ironing board to the way I like it!

    I am technically cross dominant or mixed handedness whatever you want to call it. But I write with my left hand so I am going with being left handed if that makes sense.

    +1

    My mother was left handed before it was beaten out of her in school. I write and use my computer mouse/trackpad with my right hand and use my left hand for everything else. Can do perfect mirror writing with my left hand. :)

    love being a lefty, when people ask to play my guitar I have a great excuse.

    Anyone see this? Not certain whether it's totally serious o not:

    Never said I "can't" iron - Perfectly able to iron and did so for years before I got married. It's just that now , if my Wife sees me Ironing she takes the Iron off me as she thinks it's just looks all wrong and it freaks her out... I haven't really challenged her on her views to be honest... :-)

    Wow now that's progress. I got whacked and told that I was writing with the devils hand by one particular Christian brother.

    I'd give him a good left hander today if I ever bumped into him.

    I had teachers in Primary school that thought I was some kind of Satanist because as a 6 or 7 year old I blessed myself with my left-hand. Called my parents in about it and everything.. Thankfully my Parents gave them an extremely short response on the subject and it was never mentioned again.

    AW I didn't know about this..

    Belated Leftie day so to all my fellow southpaws

    Can't say I've ever had problems using a mouse, scissors, writing though - can be a bit annoying when you have to shake someone's hand and they automatically extend their right, but aside from that it's all good.

    Apparently Monday was middle-child day- unsurprisingly no one told me...

    Huh?

    Isn't it a right hand you shake with either way?

    That reminds me.

    My dad was born a leftie but his christian brothers teachers beat his hand with a cane to force him to be a rightie. HOWEVER, the school football team needed a left winger, so he was 'allowed' kick the ball with his left foot :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,076 ✭✭✭✭Czarcasm


    I went the opposite way to a lefty- was born right handed and so when my father would be "disciplining" me, well, trying to fend off a hurl with my right hand was never going to be the brightest idea, so I couldn't write in school until I trained myself to write with my left hand.

    Now my writing is shìte with both hands! :D
