Different Hand.

[Caran]

Today I decided to try cleaning my teeth with my left hand.
What a performance! I was all over the place. Toothpaste everywhere.

[Mamyalynne]

Shows how we get used to one way - was it an experiment?

Try chopping veg with your cack hand, Caran. Now that is dodgy. Just have plenty of elastoplast at the ready.

Why? Have you had an accident with your right hand/arm? I am quite fortunate being ambidextrous. Comes in handy when playing snooker.

I'm left handed and quite a few years ago I broke my left wrist.

It was only when I went to the toilet (for a number 2 !!!!) that I realised how inept I was with my right hand lol :P

TMI Giz. :-)

[Caran]

Just decided to see how I coped.
Will not be doing it again.

//// TMI Giz. :-) ////

I kept it as clean as I could (double entendre intended)

What I have notice that is really strange is that if you're right-handed it's difficult to use a pair of scissors using your left hand. I think it's something to do with the thumb pressure.

My Grandfather was ambidextrous, even so far as copperplate handwriting - he would start at each end of the line and meet in the middle perfectly.

As a small child I thought it was magic.

..... just pray that your good arm never ends up in plaster then :P

..... I'm fairly sure that all scissors are designed for right handed use. If you use a pair of scissors using your left hand, it's really awkward - you need a pair of left handed scissors where the blades are arranged the other way round.

no way, gizmo, you weirdos are well catered for!

If it ain't broke don't change it.

[ummmm]

My granddad was left handed but from the era (in Ireland) where they beat you for it so he ended up ambidextrous.

My left hand is pretty useless.

[waterboatman]

I'm left handed. But I use a knife and fork right handed, but a spoon left handed. I shoot right handed with rifle or pistol, but use a knife left handed.

[ummmm]

My ex is left handed and he could use both hands except for writing. It's a right handed world, left handed people have to learn how to use both hands.

[waterboatman]

I have a left handed pair of scissors.

[ummmm]

They didn't have them when we were young. There is a left handed shop.

[waterboatman]

You're right, they didn't. I found it awkward using right handed scissors left handed.

[Smowball]

You tried cleaning your teeth with your left hand..... I find a toothbrush much better!! :)
