Just so some of you won't feel left out:

*looks at the watch mark left on his right wrist*

Don't judge me! :O:

Yeah, I'm wierd, I'm right handed but I wear my watch on my right hand. :doh:

Do you wear it with the face under your wrist? I wear mine that way and find it easier to deal with, although I have gotten a few comments over the years about how I am wearing my watch the "wrong way"...

an 'uptick' from the Boer War
 

Can't admit I do, but I can understand the reasoning behind it, although I'd be terrified of smashing the face on a work surface or something.

We also need a day to remember people with one leg only. I imagine that all the majority of people with two legs for one day will hopp around on just one leg, becasue according to the website's text, which I slightly adapted to the one-leg-celebration day: >>"the idea of One-Leg-Day is of everyone to celebrate in fun, practical ways, making two-legged family members / friends / colleagues realise how 'athletic' and physically well-coordinated we have to be because we are constantly adapting a two-legged world to work for a one-legger," states the website."Getting two-legged people to move one-legged for the day is a great way to make the point!"<<

:88)

Doctors also will welcome the immense additional income they can earn that day.

How gauche of you. :O:

Is that one of those left-handed compliments?... :D


<O>

If that's the hand you use, well, never mind...









Apologies to Paul Simon

I'm a lefty, but I do not wear my watch on either of my wrists. No thank you, I don't want to be shackled by time. I carry it on a belt-loop of my pants (on the right). I guess that makes me a hipster too?

The worst drawback of this 'orientation' was dragging your hand through the wet ink from a fountain pen all the time when I was a kid in school. The thinking was that using a fountain pen improves one's handwriting skills. Yeah, left! It's never been any good. I hate those pens.

:salute:

It used to be some schools would try to "cure" a kid of left-handedness by forcing them to use only their right hand. IIRC, Paul McCartney was so abused in school...


<O>

I know, I guess I'm young enough to never have needed to experience that teaching method. Thankfully.

I am right handed but can use my left hand just about as well. What do they call that? Ambidextrous. Anyway they(my parents) let me choose which hand I wanted to write with and I choose right of course I was a bit better writing with my right hand.

I wear my watch on my left wrist. I use both hands about equally though.

@ Pisces aren't you shackled by time anyway if you choose to carry a timepiece even if it is not directly on your wrist?:hmm2:

Something that has always intrigued me is the technique for playing stringed instruments. They make "backwards" guitars for lefties. The reason I find this odd is that in a so-called "right-handed" instrument it's the left hand that does the hardest part. I would have thought that a southpaw would find this easier. Then again, I don't know how the brain really works in these matters, so I accept the apparent reality for what it is.

I knew someone in high school who fractured their right arm pretty badly and had to have it in a sling for a few months, during that time they started writing with their left hand. When the sling and cast came off, they stayed writing with their left hand.

They really adapted quickly. I would think most people would take several months or so to swap hands if they had lost the dominant hand.

I was surprised too, I don't know if they still use their left hand, it's been a while since then, but I remember their hand-writing started off terrible but steadily improved, even our English teacher commented on it.
