These 'polls' are just getting too bizarre. What's your favourite colour must be due in a day or so!

In reality, I am right handed and good with my left. For instance, I shoot baskets better left handed and I can shoot pool left handed. Don't write that well, though. Even though I used to practice a lot as a kid. Obviously, right handed kids are dumb.

I don't remember the last time I did a poll! And I thought this one was quite a good one!

Edited to add: In fact... this is my first ever poll! Yay!

i'm a righty, but i'm pretty good with my left hand because of violin and percussion.

Oh, that's right, I forgot about my special handicap. Guess I really am amberdextrous.
Anyway, I can't move my hands separate from each other. I mean, they can't really do two different things at one time. I mean, shooting a basket or pool is two hands directed at one motion.

And then if I tried to get my legs involved doing even more things...well, I have no doubt disaster would ensue. Swear to god, that's why I had to quit band in highschool. Because you had to march, and I couldn't play and march. It's quite extroadinary considering my otherwise very high level of coordination. I'm like an idiot savant. Or just an idiot. Whatever, you should see me try to drum. Tragic. Actually me even trying to do the Gold n Braid dance is tragic.
That guy reminded me, I can use chopsticks left, too.

My ego inflates and deflates with appalling frequency, you caught me in a good moment

I don't do anything with my left hand, it has fallen into disuse due to the marvellous wonder that is my right hand

Is the left shriveled and smallened like the forlegs of a T-Rex? Cause that's how I'm imagining it.

My ego does the same thing. It's quite exciting.

I'm great with drums/percussion...guitar? Not so much - it's proving difficult for me to coordinate right and left and such...it's pissing me off actually.

I must say, it depends on what I'm doing.

I write right handed. However, I bat switch.

it's definitely hard to learn a stringed instrument. it's difficult to get one hand to do melody and the other to do rhythm. when i was younger, with violin i would concentrate on getting the rhythms down with my right hand before adding the left hand, and now i do that with guitar, too.

I'm right handed but when I was in college, one of my drawing professors wanted to challenge me and had me do an in-class assignment with my left hand. I did very well and really liked the difference in my drawing style using my left hand.

And an excellent poll it is - you didn't use the word y'all once!

Just done a quick check here and the majority of engineers here are left handed - 8 out of 11.

No, my left hand is a magnificent specimen, not unlike my right, except that it's like a strange mirror image of it. My left hand will kick in when my right hand has worn out, which at the current rate of wear, will be in about 250 years
