I'm totally right handed, but have always put my wallet in my left back pocket. I've been asked if I'm left handed when seen removing it from that pocket.

I usually put my left shoe on first,
always put my left foot in first (putting on pants)
always take my left foot out first
always put my left hand in first (shirt, jacket)
always take my left hand out first
almost always take my first step with my left foot
 
I said earlier that I'm a lefty, but I eat right or left, I pick my nose using my right, use the mouse with my right, wipe my bottom using my right, scissors with left. Actually when come to think of it I had a right shoulder problem lately, veeeery painful and I noticed that I do a lot with my right, 'cos my right shoulder hurt a lot then :)
So what does that make me? I always thought of myself as a lefty....

I'm a conflicted right-hander.

I mouse right so I have to beer left, but I have touch-typed for over 1/2 a Century, so my left hand is put to work. :confused:

I also taught myself to not switch utensils while eating, as most people in North America do. An affectation born because of a scene an old WWII movie. ;)

I'm a righty, but if I'm fork and knifing I stab and eat with the left....

I do everything (including writing, using my trackpad etc..) with my left hand, except for a computer mouse. I generally use a trackpad, but when I have to use a computer that is not my MBP, I use a mouse with my right hand. I guess I just grew up this way because at elementary school computer lab, all of the mice are on the right side and I was not allowed to unplug and move them (though it would've been easy because they were iMac G3's with the newfangled keyboards with a USB port on each side).
 
I am a righty, but can write with my left hand. I find it cumbersome to do anything else left handed, though.
 
I'm mostly right handed but I can and do things that are left handed.

As a kid I fought left handed (which is now coming in handy in karate), I can switch hit in baseball fairly easily. Takes no more effort to strike out lefty then righty for me :p I seem to do other tasks lefty other then write. I'd not say I'm ambidextrous but rather I've learned to use my left a bit more then expected
 
I write with my left hand but do absolutely everything else with my right. (Ok so I hold a fork in my left hand and change gear in the car etc) but everything else, scissors, remote control, mouse, throwing, hammering etc are all right handed.
 
I write with my right hand, but when it comes to eating food with my hands, I don't know why, but I use my left hand.
 
I write with my right hand and do pretty much everything with my right hand. I can't write worth a damn with my left hand (and if you saw my handwriting, an argument could be made that I can't write with my right hand either), I can't use a mouse with my left hand, last time I used scissors with my left hand, I put a nice gash in my right index finger. I really can't do anything with my left hand. Except wipe my ass. I only use my left hand for that. Using my right hand to do that feels awkward for some reason. Wiping with my right hand feels like writing with my left.

Funny how our brains are wired.
