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

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.

[Stew_Matthews]

Left handed but have to use chop sticks with the right hand !

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

I write right handed. However, I bat switch.

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.

So you can throw & catch a ball, and I can do the Gold & Braid dance. Looks like we're even as far as coordination goes.

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.

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.

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.

I'm right-handed, though for drumming I, of course, use both quite well - but it was BITCH getting the left hand to catch up to and be as good as the right hand.

I still can't write with my left hand well...so for all intents and purposes I'm a righty.
