I brush the left side of my teeth with my right hand and the right side with my left. Dad threw me something when I was a teenager and I caught it with my left hand. “Are you sure you’re right handed?” Sigh. Asked him to throw something at the same level on my right side (showed him where I caught it) He did. Right hand got it. I can do most things with either, just not as well, and no way was I going to make that first catch with my right. He would definitely have noticed if I’d been using my left hand as a toddler… and no one would have cared
When I was 11 years old, I was in the basement of a church after a funeral. There was a blackboard down there and I picked up the chalk and started writing left handed. Wow, you would have thought WWIII started, the way I got yelled at. “Quit using your left hand, write with your right hand!” To this day, I think it is so cool that I can write left-handed on the blackboard.
I’m left handed, but I had to use my right hand for 3 weeks when I had carpal tunnel surgery on my left wrist. My writing was neater right handed than left handed. That’s because I write fast with my left hand, and very slowly with my right. I can use the computer mouse with either hand. I’m ambi-moustrous.
Hubby was left handed. They tried changing him to right handed in school but he remained left handed and had the worst handwriting ever. Sometimes he’d ask me what he’d written.
I use both hands and never thought about it. However, I did discover that I’m in trouble getting my pants up or buttoning a shirt if my right hand is ‘on vacation’. I had that for two days after an arthrogram of the right shoulder.

Only Earl would do something that stupid.

If Earl were to lose an ear while shaving left-handed, I think he’d change his name to Vincent.

Stick to what works Earl. Clearly you are not ambidextrous.

I can sympathize. I swear I only have a right hand so I won’t look lopsided.

I was not quite that bad, but not that far off, the couple of times I had to try to brush my teeth with my left hand.
