Just a quick poll here. I personally fall into the fourth category; meaning that I'm a lefty who inherently does other things like throwing and feeling with my right hand. Before voting, note that options three or four should only be selected if you do absolutely everything that that comes to mind with your non-writing hand.
Oh, and in case you weren't aware, ambidexterity is the ability to write and perform other tasks which involve motor skills equally well with both hands. Less than three percent of the world's population is ambidextrous, but there's no doubt that every other voter is gonna pick that option because ambidexterity is kewl, and so is lying about yourself on the internet.
Obama am left-handed, and so can you! (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/07/03/AR2008070303202.html)

Ambidexterity doesn't just refer to writing ability.
-
I'm a righty, but apparently use a left-handed orientation for various tasks (such as using a weedwhacker) while still holding it right-handed.

Ambidexterity doesn't just refer to writing ability.
Happy now?
On an entirely unrelated note, Chupperson, how do you plan to commemorate your 10,000th post? I can jump out of an enormous cake and strip if you'd like.
-
I don't think he plans to celebrate at all. Someone's post count doesn't measure his or her worth...you're pretty awesome and you have only 298.
Anyway, I'm right handed, but I do everything else with my left. This is because I fractured my right arm when I was 11.
-
I'm right-handed.
-
Right-hand man, right here. My brother is ambidextrous-ish (the word basically meaning "right-handed with both hands").
-
Dude, I had no idea I was up to 9993 posts.
-
you're pretty awesome

In fact, 10,000 is such a momunmentous occasion that we're organizing a surprise party for you! :'D
[darn]. My bad.

Southpaw over here.
-
I'm a lefty. Though I prefer right-hand scissors and I can't snap my fingers with my left hand.
-
I'm right-handed.
-
Totally right-handed. The only thing my left hand is good at is analog sticks -- I can't do the nunchuk for crap in my right hand. I might hold a bat left-handedly when I'm playing baseball, but that's only because I'm completely inept at sports and don't know which way is which.
On a related note, who here can do the Vulcan salute? I couldn't originally, but many years ago I started putting a golf ball between my middle and ring fingers for a couple days in a row (not all day, but for a while each day), and ever since then I've been able to do it easily with both hands. If you can't do it and you want to, there's a suggestion.
-
I've never gotten why some people can't do that. I think it came naturally to me because my parents are trekkies.
-
That's just another thing which I can only do particularly well with my right hand.
TK, did your parents perchance have pointed ears and usually carry a staunch expression? That would explain it.
-
I'm right-handed. I can do the Vulcan with both hands quite easily.
I also can't really snap, period. I don't know if it's just because I never "practiced" as a child, or what.
-
I've only somewhat recently gotten the hang of snapping. I can do it with either hand, though it just sort of turns into me rubbing my fingers together after a few good snaps.
-
Looks like you'll never beat Bobby Badfingers (http://www.badfingers.com/)
-
Somebody should turn the shot of Bobby dancing from 1:07 to 1:09 into a .gif image.
I'm hopelessly inept when it comes to such little distinctions in life. I'm 16 and I can't snap my fingers, nor can I swim, whistle, or tie my own shoelaces. :'D

According to Left Brain, Right Brain DS I'm ambidextrous, but I do most things with my right hand. I've read that it's good for you brain to do things with your nondominate hand and create new neural connections, but haven't seen how much this effects other brain functions.
-
I'm naturally right-handed, but I've been trying to do things with my left hand, just for fun. Playing guitar upside-down is pretty cool.
-
I'm right handed but I amuse myself by
doing things DRAWING with my left hand.
-
You might want to re-word that statement, Pt_Peach. Just sayin'.

Either Picard is left-handed or he is right-handed and uses his left hand to facepalm.
-
Hey, it was good advice. I don't think Weegee meant any harm by telling her to change it.
Sorry Pt, but I laughed my butt off. :P
-
It's not as though I meant any harm; I simply delight in exploiting the potentially emberassing mistakes of those around me. :'D
Well, not really. The oppurtunity to post just one off-putting remark was just too apparent to resist. My apologies for any offense caused, Pt. By the way, Picard is almost certainly fighting to hold back a giggle from escaping from beneath that facepalm.
-
No offense taken. Seriously, though, I laughed out loud when I read the mistake and got curious looks from around the room. :D
