i am right handed. i hurt my elbow on my right arm a while ago. i was forced to use the mouse w/ my left hand. as time went on, i got really good at it. i got so used to it, i didnt even think about it until now. anyways, now my right arm is a lot better, but the problem is that now i don't want to switch back to my right hand for the mouse.
so yeah, i found that interesting :D

Most people use different hands for different things, so it's not especially odd. I'm usually pretty adept at using either hand for the mouse.

Right-handed but for some odd reason, I have to use my left to pick up a drinking vessel.

ADDITIONAL: For some odd reason, my roleplay characters tend to be left-handed.

I ambidextrous with left dominance, but I was forced to write with my right hand. Therefore, not only do I have the AS clutziness, I have that to deal with. Suffice it to say I HATED writing essays in school BC ( before computers ).

I heard it said that if you are male the hand you use to guide yourself when you take a leak with is the one that is your dominate hand.

I use both hands for everyday tasks. Guess for me it's whichever is more convenient at the time :P.

I am right-handed, but I am training myself to write with my left hand, and I am pretty sure that once I get decent at the piano that I will have more I can do with both hands. I can write fairly legibly with my left hand now, but I'm not sure that says a lot since my handwriting in my right hand is barely legible as it is. :)

I use my left hand for most things. But I'm fine with using my right for the mouse.

I write with my right hand, but I use both equally in everyday tasks. When I was a kid and played baseball, I hit best left handed.

You know what else is funny? I'm right-handed but once in fifth grade, I spent the whole lunch period using the fork with my left hand. I didn't even realized it until one of my friends was like, "I didn't know you were left-handed!" I claimed I was actually right-handed, but they wouldn't have it. So yeah, I thought that was pretty interesting.

well its a good thing i never went back to the right hand mouse, cuz i hurt my right arm AGAIN today. i would have had to get used to left hand, then right again, then left again. God likes to spare me unnecessary work. (i don't even belive in God, i just find it an interesting way to look at stuff) :D

My hand usage is the most unusual I think. I was born right-handed, but when I was a really little kid, I forced myself to use my left hand, because the cars' steering wheel is in the left side (don't laugh!). Since then I use pen(cil)s, forks, spoons, knives (but for the classic fork+knive combo I still use the right handed version), screwdrivers, etc. with my left hand, BUT I use scissors, mice, lighters and plenty other things with my right one.
When I was learning to write (I was about 4), I was writing somehow mirrored (rigth-to-left) in the very beginning, and I can write backwards even today without struggling.

I used to be right-handed, but my right hand went on strike a few years ago and demanded higher pay. I wasn't going to give in, so I fired it and got a second left hand as a replacement.
