I'm right handed, but I do prefer to use my left hand for certain tasks.

22% is a bit too much I think, normal would be 10-15%. But maybe left-handed persons care more about such polls than right-handed do.
A right-handed person does not know how difficult certain things might be for a left-handed person. Have look at this image, for example. For a right-handed person this looks just normal.. And this is just one example out of hundreds. |

I used to be ambidextrous, but I'm alright now.

Being lefthanded; what has always bugged me is that dratted corkscrew. I always turn the bottle around instead of the corkscrew. That is for righr handed people. No trouble with scissors though.
And I have trouble following directions 'right' and 'left' somehow. That was difficult when I had driving lessons; the driving instructor shouting ' no the other right', when he asked me to turn to the right and I steered to the left.... |

Yes, also 100 % wrong turns for me. That I managed to even get my drivers license is a miracle.

Ditto. I can't tell you how many times I've heard people yelling "Your OTHER right!" while I'm trying to drive.

Oh. This looks really nice. And they have them for boys, too.
Unfortunately this is not available in Europe. I've never seen that before.. |

I was walking through the home center this afternoon, and what do I spy? OLFA is now making Left-handed box cutters and even left handed replacement blades. I had to buy it to try.
For the one or two of you that don't read Japanese, the character I circled means "Left." Stitchawl |
