Being left handed

Just had my mind boggled talking to the left handed ms celedon about this. I never thought about it, probably thought it was genetic, but…she is the only one in all her family and relatives she knows about.
Plus, I would expect a left hander to be left footed, she says not necessarily so.
I expect a bit of other handedness dexterity can be learnt.
Where does that leave me?

Left handed writing and playing football. Left handed for raquet sports, but right handed for golf/cricket and playing guitar (the latter, as I thought it would be a ballache learning left handed).

As per the posts below, I used to get smacked over the laft hand with a ruler at school for writing with it.

Her mother didn't like me, she thought I was on drugs, my mother didn't like her, she'd never peel the spuds.

Completely left side dominant, as is my sister but both parents and all grandparents are right handed.

Very very left footed (hence my name on here) - once told I had a cultured left foot and a cunt of a right foot.

Have messy writing as I was taught to write with a fountain pen which involves a lot of smudging if you don't hold your pen at a stupid angle.

Also find I'm all elbows when trying to eat so everyone moans when they have to sit next to me.

Once tried to play hockey but kept getting fouls against me as they only have right handed sticks- stupid sport

And don't get me started on scissors and can openers

Right handed for writing but left for a lot of other things. Hold knife and fork in the "wrong" hands, open jars with left, pick up items with left. No one in the family is fully left handed but my brother is the same with knife and fork.

Only left hander in my family

Naturally right footed but probably had a sweeter strike of the ball with my left

Control touch skill etc felt more comfortable with my right though

Very odd

My wife’s dad is in his 80s. Naturally left handed but the school he went to thought it made him an oddball and forced him to use his right so these days he can use both.

Mad that being left handed was seen as almost a disability.

I’m left footed and right handed.

One thing I find utterly mad is when cricketers can bowl right handed and bat left handed or vice versa. Gods among men.

CHEER UP, PLUMS

Ms celedons left hand was tied behind her back by the nuns who said the left was the devils hand. It is a common superstition that the devil/ evil spirits look over your left shoulder.

Aye it's all mad Ted. Anything one handed I'm right (writing, throwing, racket sports) anything two handed I'm left (guitar, snooker, batting, drums etc). Also left footed. One of my lads is all right, the other all left.

I'm a leftie, left handed at pretty much everything and left footed too. But strangely golf and cricket I play right handed.

Even weirder though was I broke my left wrist playing footie about 20 years ago. Was in a cast for about 6 weeks and had to learn to wipe right handed....now I cant use my left for that anymore.

Re: Being left handed

. Wikki
However, left-handed people have an advantage in sports that involve aiming at a target in an area of an opponent's control, as their opponents are more accustomed to the right-handed majority. As a result, they are over-represented in baseball, tennis, fencing,[6] cricket, boxing,[7][8] and mixed martial arts.[9]

Left handed writing, using a spoon etc. Play all sports right handed, football with my right foot etc except table tennis, fairly ambidextrous though so can switch if needed.

It's us, not me. Fight inequality.

I'm left handed for writing and playing darts but right handed for snooker and golf.

Right footed as a kid but worked on using my left as left back was where I usually ended up playing and am now equally adept/useless with either foot. (see Dwight it is possible to learn to use your weaker foot)

I'm a true lefty. Do everything with my left.

To the extent you may as well cut my right hand and foot off.

I've just been forced to write my mum and dad's Xmas card, and true to form, it's just smudged everywhere.

Shit at Cardinal Allen they made us use fountain pens - looked like an impressionist painting by the time I had finished an essay

I’m rubbish at throwing or kicking a ball with my left hand/foot but have always been only able to jump taking off on my left.

I'm left handed and right footed. Playing in goal I could only throw the ball with my right hand. Playing cricket, I would bat right handed but bowl left handed, and when fielding I'd throw the ball left handed, in a complete contradiction of throwing a football. If I ever played golf (very badly I might add), I did it right handed.
If it involved holding a bat or stick with both hands, I did it right handed, whereas if it was one handed, I played leftie. I was shit at all of them though, except playing in goal. I was ace in goal.

I’m left handed and left footed but do numerous things right handed. Not sure if that’s socialisation or something else. The good news is I have two forehands in tennis. The bad news, I’m crap at tennis.
