When we were doing stock takes at the work and we had to number all the rails of clothes they hated if it was me doing the numbers as I always went the opposite way. It wasn’t wrong in my world

Why do baristas always make the latte art upside down?

Never got on with left handed scissors/bread knives etc…
doesn't help that I initially read this as 'left -handed bread...'
Although I'm right-handed I've realised in the last year I've started using my left more for things like holding mugs of hot drinks (but this is linked to the fact I don't trust my right grip due to arthritis!)

Mixed up handedness here
Write left, guitar left, snooker left, golf left, cricket batting left
Anything to do with throwing is right, all racquet sports right, bowling right (cricket, ten pin or bowls)
Left footed kicking but any jumping activity I prefer to take off from my right foot
I can use right handed implements (scissors, can openers and the like) and can use a hand saw with either hand
Can’t dance with any foot!

Really can't throw from my right, macca. And I'm quite a good thrower. But I can jump and hurdle from both feet.
It is odd and very mixed, isn't it!

I only ever eat left handed bread.
Very strongly left hand/ foot/ eye dominant. I’ve never understood left handed guitar (or violin) though - don’t you want your left hand doing the more complicated stuff? Same with the computer mouse. Even I can click a button with my right hand, I need my left free for writing important notes (or doodling).

I’m the same. Drink tea holding the cup in my right hand so I can still type at the same time.

I got excluded from guitar classes in school for having my guitar restrung to left handed and the teacher refused to teach me.

I'm very even handed - not truly ambidextrous. As a child my mum didn't known whether I'd be left or right handed as I'd pick up a pencil/paint brush with either hand and use it, only after I went to school i started being more right handed.
I wear my watch on my right hand. I can catch/throw and kick equally badly with left and right hands/feet I pour things with my left hand, and drink holding a mug in my left hand. I can write with my left hand but I have to think about it
Mr Frag says i do so many things (like the way I have the kitchen roll in the holder, the way I cut a baguette and even the way I put the padlock in the back gate) that are "inherently left handed".
and looking at my hands, my left one is much more flexible than my right as well, so I must obviously use it more!

Pretty close to ambidextrous then, fraggle. More than most of us I think.
