Are you Left Handed, Right handed, or Ambidextrous

Well, I think this kind of poll naturally draws in ambidextrous people, and left handers. Growing up as a left or ambidixtrous you hear all sorts of things like "your special", "lefties are smart", and "your going to die 9 years earlier"
 
Right handed, but I'll give my right hand to be ambidextrous.

Strange, I knew that some 14% of people are left handed... (oh, and left handed live shorter)... We should make such a poll: how many years did you lived and if you are left-handed 😀

Wow! Great childhood you must have had. "How did your day go at kindergarten, Nick? Pity you're going to die 9 years before everyone else." :laugh:

I'm glad that no one mentioned that little tidbit during my formative years. They did say that I was special and smart, but it didn't have anything to do with my left-handedness. 😀
 
im a righty when it comes to tasks with the hands, but lefty for my legs. I play soccer as a lefty and snowboard as a lefty.
 
Righty here...but did you know that the word ambidexterous is Latin based? The roots are ambo meaning both and dexter meaning right? So if you're ambidexterous, you have 2 right hands, at least that's what the Romans thought.

Did not know that.
 
I write with righty but most other things are lefty. My elementary school didn't like people who wrote with their left hands. Grr to them.
 
31 votes for ambidextrous? Ok, you people are fooling yourself. Just because you can whack off or dribble with both hands does not make you ambidextrous. Can you write and throw with both hands equally?

OMGWTFBBQ!!! TMI!

Right handed but I can shoot hoops, bat, and pretty much anything else left handed. I could train myself to write left handed easily. It's not that difficult right now.
 
I am right handed.

It is possible I should have been left handed. I have been told that when I was a baby/toddler my parents forced me to use my right hand, when I would do things with my left. Don't ask me why - I still can't figure them out after 30+ years.
