Me!
Im left handed. Only things I have to do is try and slow down my handwriting speed or I smudge things, and I had to buy a vegetable peeler like a razor, I cant use the ones shaped like a knife to save my life.

I can however hold a pen and write with my toes.

I actually eat right handed (due to my mum trying to "correct" me all the time when I was a child) and I type txt messages much faster with my right hand - again I suspect for the same reason as my eating.

Oh and my job would be a bit harder if I wasnt left handed because the child I look after communicates by using his right hand so I support him using my right hand which means my left hand is then free to write down what he's saying in his books at school.

I'm left handed and ginger, therefore I > you.

Thing is, I only write and play snooker left handed, everything else I do right handed. I'm also right footed.

Just don't ask me to use a tin opener.

tbh, I've gotta disagree buddy, because there has been a fair bit of research done in this field, and it is pottentially quite intresting. Although people telling each other what they do with each hand is rather dull i agree.

Well i want to hear stories or persecution of lefties... Not that people can use their left hand for stirring tea (although thats amazing)

Mixed handed here (note: not ambidextrous, that's a totally different thing and very rare).

I write, hold drinks and knives and shoot guns left handed (and in the past, I held cigarettes in my left hand) but almost everything else is done right handed. It's been that way for as long as I can remember.

I am fairly comfortable with a pool cue and a set of darts in either hand, though.

I find that I'm right armed, and left fingered.

by that i mean, things that require precision and fingertip controll im better with my left hand, and things which require strength im better with my right hand.
