I write and use a fork with my left, but everything else I do with my right, such as throwing, catching, using knives/scissors etc. I put this down to the fact that most things a designed for right handed people, so I learnt to use them.
It really used to annoy me in school how I'd always get given left handed scissors. I can't use those things at all. No matter how many times I asked for, or got myself a right handed pair, I'd still always be given left handed ones.
Well, I adapted to scissors easily. Since a lot of the time left handed scissors weren't available in the classrooms, I used right handed ones. All it takes is apply pressure as a right handed person did, but with your left hand. They work of course by pushing the blades together when you cut, and the design of them is so that they're pushed together when using your right hand. It isn't as comfortable as it could be doing it that way, but at least I could cut things.
What I dislike the most is writing. My hand gets pencil lead or ink on it all the time when writing.
