Right-handed, here. Yep, standard issue, but it works for me!

Thanks David, likewise!  Always nice to get such a friendly greeting!  You shoulda come to Calgary!!!

So mostly rightie, what do you use the left one for?

I drive with my left hand. Does that sound weird? I steer with my left hand, but I think that's because I've driven a stick shift car for so long. I also eat with my left hand. I brush my hair with my left hand and sometimes I operate scissors with my left hand too.  :D

Makes sense to steer with your left...it'd be pretty hard to shift with your left hand!  Funny how much you do with the opposite of your writing hand, same for me.  I use my right hand to use scissors, serve in volleyball, and assorted other things.  It's almost like the only thing I do with my left is write. Hmmmm....

My mother was left handed. So was my paternal grandfather. So, lefties run in my family. I'm just not one of them!  :)

Clearly left-handed with almost everything I do. Except when using scissors, for the same reason as Clarissa. And I hated can openers until I found one that can be used either way.
Oh, and I control the computer mouse with my right hand. For the first years, my husband and I fought about the "correct" side for the mouse. Since he used it much more often and business-wise by then, I finally gave up and now am used to it.

I've never thought about that until I read your post. That would be hard for me--to control the mouse with the opposite of my writing hand. You adapted well, huh? It takes me forever to get comfy with a different computer---and when someone wants me to check something or do something for them--they gotta get up. If I'm not in the usual position, my perception is off.  :P

That was sweet of you to let your husband keep it on the right side!  :)

Quite left-handed and proud of it!  ;D

Werd ich zum Augenblicke sagen, "Verweile doch! Du bist so schön..."

      Totally right handed.  But ,when i played pool all the time.   i had to learn to play switch handed.  It was really awkward at first.  After a while it wasnt that hard at all.. mosty technique.

Not for this particular poll.  :)

I am naturally right handed but I can write and do other things with my left hand as well  ;)
