I am “right handed” however I play cricket, baseball and golf left handed, when it comes to undoing screw cap bottles I hold the bottle, (or jar) in my right hand and the cap (lid) in my left hand what do left handers do?

do everything right handed except eat. hold my fork in my right hand. i put it down to when i was learning to eat i held the spoon in my right hand and never got round to changing when i progressed to two handed eating.

I am a mixture of both.

Things that require fine motor skills I do left-handed – writing, cutting, slicing, soldering, sawing etc
I play sports right-handed – bat, bowl, throw, kick, swing a golf club.

Some things I can do both hands, like hammering nails.

Same as Boris. I’m right handed but eat backwards.

When I broke my right arm, I became quite proficient at using my left for everything but have lost that skill now (well, I was 6 when I broke it…)

I’m right-handed for most everyday tasks and for drawing and painting etc, but as a musician I require fine skills with both hands.

Fork or spoon in the left hand, knife in the right hand. Scissors in the right hand. Bat and throw left handed. Do complex chemical testing right handed, because that’s how the equipment is set up.

I’m much the same.

And I use many hand tools right or left and I play snooker/pool left handed.

And I drink with both hands.

I’m a right hander. Some of my consulting room skills require both hands to be proficient and I taught myself to do them that way years ago. Apparently I chop wood lefthanded, according to Mr buffy.

I’m surprised how many here have different tasks for different hands. Me too.
In cricket I bat left handed and bowl right. I played hockey right handed. Kick a ball with my left foot, and write with my right hand.

I used to work with an engineer who was amazed I could use a screwdriver with either hand, so I thought I was unusual, but maybe everyone here is a little odd :)

In cricket I bat left handed and bowl right.

Maybe we could get Warnie to play for us. Shagging Liz Hurley makes you an honorary Englishman
