Lol! Well I am but think it may be more to do with not wearing my contacts enough...

What I find the most annoying about being left-handed is smudging everything you've just writen. Can't use a fountain pen unless you write with a semi-dislocated wrist to avoid touching the paper. Meh. Always wanted a fountain pen as well.

Another thing is filling in tables and things with writing down the left of the page cos you can't see what you're doing. Really annoys me!

they all really piss me off! an i have adapted my writing to have my hand 90deg from my wrist, my wrist 90deg from elbow and so on, i look like a complete idiot when writing!!!

I write like that too! I didn't realise how weird I looked until my mum kindly took a photo of me writing one day.

i used my left hand for knife and fork, picking up things like cups and brushing my hair, but my right for writing and equal to my left for picking up things too.

i eat right handly im used to it now
all my family eat right handly and me my sis and my dad are all left handed

Yeah in my culture you are meant to eat with your right hand as the left-hand is considered unclean - I used to eat with my left hand but then made a conscious decision a few years ago to change it - although sometimes I revert back to my left hand.

One weird thing is that my dad is right handed but always uses his knife and fork int he opposite way i.e. fork in right hand and knife in left...

Ambidexterity is the ability to use both your hands with equal ease or facility.

Such as using both hands to write, draw or paint with equal ability - as you can imagine this is pretty rare- although perhaps it is possibly to teach yourself...

yes you can teach it to yourself and you can lose it if you dont use it
