I am usually left-handed, but I am mostly ambidextrous.  I can write somewhat well with my right hand, I can shoot OK with my right hand, I can't throw for crap with my left hand, I absolutely can't use left-handed scissors, and I can eat and peel a potato with either hand.

But with my right hand I can flex my wrist so that it is completely rigid while my fingers are completely limp, but no matter how hard I try, I absolutely cannot do it with my left hand.  I can flex my fingers AND my wrist with my left hand, but not just my wrist.

Anyone else have something weird like that?

Clarification:  With either hand, I can manipulate a spoon or fork for the purposes of eating, and I can use a tool designed for peeling a potato, apple, etc.

I'm mostly a rightie, but very ambidextrous... but for the life of me, I can't iron clothes or deal cards with my right hand!

Not so good with the left hand.

Interesting trivia-ambidextrous means "right handed with both hands"

I can print with both hands, but my hand writing with my left hand is for sh*t.  Cannot throw with my left hand either.

I can do almost anything equally well Rh or LH but I am LH naturally. My LH writing normally looks like I have had a stroke and is even worse with my RH . I too can not use a LH Scissors. If you really want to fuck people up buy a LH can opener and see if they can use it

I am Right handed, but can only hold things for mechanical things and a billy club with my left.

I'm pretty much ambidextrous with everything. Write mainly with my left hand, shoot with my right, bowl with my right but have no problem with my left.... so yeah.

i can shoot and throw left and right handed.

i write mainly with my right hand. left handed is readable, but it takes a little concentrating.

i can do pretty much anything with either hand, but it does sometimes take a bit of practice to get the left hand fully capable.

I am right handed and extremely dependent on my right hand. I suppose I could adapt to use my left hand more. I mean I am a pretty fast typist, so I don't see why I couldn't learn to use my left hand more.

Remember, I'm talking about something you can't even do a little with one hand that you can do with the other.  For example, everyone can write, throw, etc. with the other hand.  Maybe very slowly or terribly, but it's possible.  But I absolutely cannot flex my left wrist without also flexing my fingers.

I am mostly ambidextrous.



I have discovered later in life that after shooting a bow left handed most of my life I am much better right handed.



I shoot rifle or handgun both ways, no better either way. I'm right eye dominant which explains the bow but have no problem with guns either way. ???



My grandfather taught me to play baseball right handed, turns out I am better at throwing left handed. He didn't want me to have a limited choice of baseball gloves so made me throw with my right.



I write left handed, but after I broke my left hand in high school I learned to write right handed with no problem.





What hand do you wipe your ass with???
Really....I use toilet paper.
