Ask a Question

I have trouble with scissors and cutting with a knife in my right hand, although I eat right handed. What do find awkward if you are left handed?

Using scissors, using a sharp knife which is for right handed people. The worst one is using my iPhone to make a payment. I have to use my right thumb to press the button.

Sugarbabe I find that sometimes on my iphone, it has all been designed for right handed people and we lefties just have to adapt.

I'm right handed, apart from eating. I can't eat any other way. But find everything else really hard to do with my left hand. A bit weird eh?

LyndaSarrington I am a bit ambidextrous but I think that’s because I have been forced through society to use my right hand for certain things.

Dexterity tails off altogether when you get older whether Left handed or right.I imagine it would be quite difficult wiping your bum if you're a lefty .Throwing darts or boxing left paw must disarm opponents as well.

I'm left handed, I can't say I struggle with much really apart from scissors, I'm weird though, I golf like a right handed person with a right sided stance and cricket, when I use to bat I have a right handed stance, weird lol

martinlufc5637 I was taught to knit right handed but that was because my Nan was right handed. My mum also right handed taught me things right handed.

jane100 I have never used a power tool properly but maybe the reason being left handed has made it awkward for me, never thought of that. A lot of stuff I have just learnt it the right handed way.
