I am left handed. I also had people tell me to do as they did only; "do it backwards."
At a dinner when people were close together, it was always my fault if my elbow hit the person next to me. Because of this, I was always given a seat on the end of the table. Even to this day I automatically go to one of those seats.
A lot of left-handers have beautiful handwriting, but mine never has been.
There are things that I only do with my right hand:
1. I use the computer mouse with my right hand.
2. I taught myself how to crochet. The book used only showed it the right handed way; so I crochet right handed too.
