Poll: Do you brush your teeth with the same hand you write with?

[Creator002]

Used to, don't anymore. I'm ambidextrous by practice (as opposed to being born ambidextrous), but before, I was right-handed. Wrote and brushed with my right hand (now write with left and brush with right). However, I haved always washed my hair with my left hand and brushed my hair by switching hands.

I started to purposely brush with my left hand to train it up, and now it's just habitual. Little things like that helped me to build up to hammering with my off hand.

 

[Archangel768]

I don't either. Interesting how most people seem to be the opposite. For me it just came naturally.

I'm left-handed for writing and playing guitar but for most other things I use my right hand.
No idea why.

I can't even use left-handed scissors.

I'M A FREAK.

[sub]Don't look at me[/sub]

Your not alone... I too am a lefty for writing but a righty for pretty much everything else.

I used to get pissed off during cut and stick in primary school because they would ALWAYS give me left-handed scissors. Even when I told the teacher, Yes I AM left-handed! No I DON'T use left handed scissors!! But she just couldn't grasp this concept and I would recieve left handed scissors EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! Then I would have to get my ass off the chair, walk over to the materials cupboard, put the left-handed scissors back, get the right-handed scissors out, walk back, sit down and get back to work wasting precious seconds of my ever so necessary education in the ways of cutting out pictures and sticking them back down.
And even then, that STUPID teacher would walk up and say "Oh, but I thought you were left handed. Let me go get you a pair of left handed scissors so you won't find it as hard!" At which point I would slam my head on the table in frustration.

To this day, I dare anyone to hand me a pair of GODDAMN LEFT HANDED SCISSORS!!!!

Whats that? ...Toothbrush? Oh, I guess I use my left hand for that...

Hmh, I think it both differs a lot. Almost everything I do with my hands differ from time to time. Yes, I'm ambidextrous.

 

[socialmenace42]

I do everythinng with my right hand.

The left hand is for holding onto banisters and dropping stuff.

 

[Zhadramekel]

Yeah I definitely can't write left handed (despite trying to) and brushing teeth is just an automatic thing that I don't really think about so I naturally use my dominant hand.

 

[JokerCrowe]

No it's not weird, but your question is...
I guess I do pretty much everything with my right hand. I've been tryung to use my left hand more though since I started playing piano.

 

[gazumped]

Yes, I didn't realise it until a few months ago when I started trying to save some time in the evenings by finishing things up on the computer while brushing my teeth. Mouse in right hand, switched my brush over to my left hand and my left hand was all "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS THING? WHAT DO I DO WITH IT? I'M SO CONFUSED?"

Considering it's such a simple motion, it was really bizarre (almost scary) that it was pretty much impossible to do with my other hand. I can use the mouse with my left if I must, heck I can even do a decent enough scrawl if I need to write with it for some reason, but brushing teeth? Nuh-uh.

 

[Nikolaz72]

I brush my teeth with both hands. Am I wierd?

 

[Makhiel]

Right hand for both, though I do sometimes try and switch to my left hand for various activities it's not as precise as my right hand. (When it comes to brushing teeth the front/back motion is easy to do with left but the top/down is a bit harder)

 

[ZehMadScientist]

I brush with my right hand, as I am right handed. I do mostly everything with the right hand. My left is there just for the looks.

 

[Bvenged]

I only write & throw with my left hand, so technically I'm left handed - but I cut, play guitar, play drums, game, brush my teeth, wield sticks... yeah all that, with my right hand.

 

[DanielDeFig]

Generally, yes, but I always switch to make sure I brush areas that are hard to get to with my right hand.

 

[RedHighwind07]

wow, now that i think about it...no. I never thought about this until I read this thread. (Left-Handed brushes with Right btw)

 

[Jezzascmezza]

Why yes, yes I do.
Never even thought about brushing my teeth with my left hand...

 

[Freaky Lou]

I just voted yes and then realized that no, I do not. I'm pretty much ambidextrous, but I write with my left and brush with my right.

Basically anything that requires finesse is done with my left hand, and for anything where strength, force or repetitive motion are more important I favour the right.

 

[Trull]

If I tried using my left hand I'd have an aneurism.

 

[Gardenia]

I have actually tried to switch to brushing with my left hand. It made me feel like such a retard that I vowed to never try again.
