Left Hand

Frank Jaeger · 10-18-2003

They say that the left-handed person is one of extreme grace with the hand. Being able to create masterful pieces with mere flicks of the wrist. The price however, seems to be too high. Smudged handwriting, constant struggle to find sports equipment, and the constant nagging of, "Oh you write with your left hand!" yes I'm well aware of that, thank you. Really though being a south paw ain't really what it's cracked up to be if you ask me. Am I alone in my pleas?

yes you are.. i am a lefty, and have had no problems ever. some consider my handwriting close to caligraphy, and i dont play sports.. so you are yet alone..

I'm ambidextrous and have writing so illegible I can barely read it myself! How the hell does that work?

that works because your one side of the brain that writes can't remember how to write with both hands.. lol..

HAHAHAH! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHA! HOOHOOHOO! HAHAHA!

Ahem.

That must be hell. Not being able to read your own writing. Ouch.

Heh! Its not exactly wonderful, but in my job nobody can read each others handwriting anyway! I think doctors must go through a special course on making their writing dangerously illegible (either that, or they break all their fingers on graduation as a rites of passage thing).

lol.. still.. it must suck not to be able to read your writing.. but not even my doctors can read what they wrote before.. lol

I find people who are ambidexterous excel at sports.. they have more options. Like, in basketball, they can go left and right and in hockey, they can shoot from either side, etc. Guess it's hard to get good at though.

Is it possible to be right handed and then train your left hand to work just as well? Like, practicing long enough to get your left handed writing 'legible'.

Bumping old posts?

Heh. I'm right handed. I can write really neat with my right. My left is average I suppose. I don't try to write nice with it.

If you can write neat with both, your just plain gifted.

Ive heard that ambidextrous people are phisically weaker...

ConceptualMind · 11-10-2003

I wouldn't say that. A lot of baseball players are ambidextrous.

inimitabLe · 11-10-2003

Picthing left and batting right is so crazy..

ConceptualMind · 11-10-2003

I think being able to use both hands equally is crazy.

It's helpful in sports though.

I should try to go the entire day using only my left hand.

Must be an urban legend. If you weigh less than 10st I can bench press you over my head with very little effort at all.

ConceptualMind · 11-11-2003

m0g, how much can you bench? I heard that all that rugby playing got you in shape.

Hehe... I read a little interview with you.
