Right handers who do things left handed and vice versa

I'm right handed but shovel left handed, useful when you work in a foundry that uses 'green' sand as you have to shift a couple of tons of it twice a day (per moulder) once in the morning to prepare it for use by shovelling it through the 'chucker' and then you gradually use it up into moulds throughout the day.
It means you can work on the other side of the pile where no-one else wants to be cos it is awkward for them.
this could have been filmed in most of the foundries I worked in as a 'freehand moulder' for 10yrs or so.

I never had a labourer though :whistle:

Fascinating! Not going to make many in a day though!

I'm right handed but eat left handed. I'm inept with a fork and spoon together and using a normal fish knife involved using the wrong side :wacko: luckily I don't often use one!

Hmm, same here. Not known anyone else like that til now.

There are a lot of you who would not get invited to my mother's house for dinner. Holding your cutlery incorrectly, about on par with joining ISIS.

I have been told I deal cards left handed, but I don't agree. Isn't it normal for a right handed person to hold the pack in the right hand, and deal the cards with the left?

I am also right handed but deal card with the pack in the right hand & 'deal' with the left. I don't (until now) know anyone else that does it.

I write left handed, kick a football left footed and throw a dart left handed. Play golf, cricket and squash right handed, although can swap hands when playing squash which frustrates my opponents no end. I also use my knife and fork right handed, while right handed Mrs Vidor uses her knife and fork left handed.

I do that too. Is that (hold pack in right hand, pass out the cards with left hand) left handed dealing?

left handed but hold my knife and fork right handed (according to my mum... i just pick them up and use them)... my brother, right handed holds his the other way around. I can only flip a pancake using my right hand and always wore my watch on my right wrist... there's not a change in hell that I'd be able to fasten a wristwatch with my right hand.

I'm naturally left handed, but went to a Catholic school where left handedness was beaten out of your hand, so had to learn to adapt and become very :wacko:.
Write text with right hand but badly with my left. Write numbers either hand.
Draw with either hand but prefer left.
Paint (pleasure or DIY) either hand
Fit screws right handed but can hammer nails right or left handed. Oddly, an axe in my left hand is a recipe for disaster as is generally a knife.
Shoot a rifle with right hand, but an arrow either hand but prefer left
Brush teeth left handed, but brush hair right handed.

My Mum is right handed but always wears a watch on her right hand. She was also ambidextrous when it came to beating me as a child. In fact she sometimes used both hands, but I never go the chance to explain to her about the mechanical disadvantage she was incurring.
