Mesa right handed. Though some things I have to use in my left (like a knife when cutting my food).

I'm right handed. I use my mouse with my left hand and use a fork my right hand because I'm right handed. Why do people think you're left handed if you use a fork with your right hand? I find that my right hand is my most dexterous and 'strong' hand so I use my most-used cutlery with that hand and I use my 'weaker' hand for less-dexterous things.

Well, right handed people usually keep the fork in left hand and the knife in right hand... What comes to the "stronger" hand, if the other one's your stronger hand it's natural that you keep the knife in it, because cutting the food in pieces takes more strenght than just picking it up and putting it onto your mouth... And you use your mouse with left hand? I use it with right, like most right handed people do, I think... You're just weird, Tom.

Anyway, so I'm right handed...

Tom and Rach, you both use cutlery (and, in the case of Tom, the mouse) in hands that would suggest that you are Left-Handed, and yet you say you're Right-Handed. Are you sure that you are not:

a) Left-Handed
b) Ambidextrous
c) Just weird

?

As for my handedness, I'm boycotting this poll, as it's bloody stupid and pointless...

I use my mouse with my left hand because I like to have my 'stronger' hand near the main keys while I still have my 'weaker' hand on my mouse. If I used my mouse with my right hand then my left hand would have to rest near the left of the alphabetical keys which is nowhere near up, down, delete, home, return, backspace.

Call me ambidexterous if you want but I certainly couldn't play squash with my left hand or eat with my left hand.

So option c) it is, then...

I am right handed. But at school I have been asked if I am left handed by the way I write. You see my writing slants to the left instead of to the right or straight up. But if I do it any other way it's messy. So, I've been told that is the way left handers write and the teachers say to me to stop twisting my wrist around; but you see I'm not twisting my wrist so it's bloody bullshit. I also hold my pen differently then my friends. In grade 2 I had to have a thing on my pencil so that I wouldn't keep on holding my pencil like that. But it is natural because my brother does it too. Bloody teachers...

Yeah, I hold my pencils really weirdly. Everyone asks, "How the heck can you write like that?" and I answer, "How the heck can YOU write like that?"
