For me it's
#1 ink pens my damn hand drags over the ink before it dries. Smudged writing and my hand covered in ink.

#2 circular saws damn things exhaust to the right. Great if it's in your right hand!! A face full of saw dust in the left.

#3 semi auto rifles nothing but hot casings and powder burns on the right for arm.

What's your top three?

I found this book at a 10 cent library sale..."The Throwing Madonna" it is essays on the brain and is one of the best book i've ever read....forgot most of it but it comes up with the reasons most humans are right handed and names like two other animals that show one hand dominance ...if you ever see this book...read it...super good reading


EDIT:

much better link

Sweet I have a koke set up in lefty for you to use if we hook up this year. I can't use a left handed casting reel.

brief sample on that book

Tracing right-handedness back through the centuries from the invention of writing to how mothers carry babies on the left side. With a brief digression on pacifying babies, as practiced by pediatric neurologists, and how the left-sided sound of the maternal heartbeat quiets infants. Did right-handedness all start with a mother with pacified infant, throwing stones with her right hand to hunt rabbits?

I have the same thing! I throw, catch, hammer, and write with my left hand. But shooting, fishing is right handed. Some things I can do with both

Bat, kick, golf right handed. Throw and write lefty. Three ring binders and spiral notebooks suck. Hot brass in the face sucks, and I still can't find a left handed crescent wrench! :)

Mostly switch between righty and lefty for most tasks but write and throw righty, prefer to fish and shoot lefty. Tools are whatever is most comfortable. I would love a left handed crescent wrench.

I was trained to be right handed when I was a kid (my parents both suffered as lefties), but I still swing, cast and fence left handed.

I'm righty for everything.  Lefty ONLY on spinning reels, I just can't reel a spinning reel right handed.

Shooting I think should depend on tour dominate eye. Some right handed people shoot better left handed. My brother is that way. I was told that in a shooting class as well.
