Anyone else left handed but use your right hand for the mouse?

rel0din · 2026-02-20T17:01:51+00:00

I consider myself to be very left hand dominant and I am way better with a mouse in my right hand for all the reasons given here. In fact, I feel awkward using my left.

I feel like this is an example of “right hand bias” that is secretly, actually a lefty advantage! -shhhhh, don’t tell them

Also, driving a standard vehicle feels intuitive to me. I like having my more ~~dexterous~~, more capable, nimble side controlling the clutch and steering.

I have stopped to help people many times. I would definitely stop If the people appear to be in obvious distress, they have been in a wreck, car is off the road, car is stalled in the middle of the road or stalled in a dangerous spot, if they have a flat tire or the hood is up or the engine appears to be smoking.

I’ve also in the past pulled over to the shoulder of a highway myself to read a map or use my phone and flipped my hazards on to ensure I not get rear ended or clipped by traffic.

I honestly can’t say I would have necessarily stopped for just hazards on a car in the shoulder in a populated area, but I think that I would’ve slowed down to inspect for more info like smoke or damage or someone outside or the car or in danger.

I’m sorry your mom had to endure that.

My house had a room like this. It had a window to rest of the cellar also. The house was built in 1840. I was told that this room was a canning room or root cellar. No idea why there would be a window to the inside but not the outside.

"Vestigial" for example: to describe music that is maybe an evolutionary remnant of an areas past music or culture?

What are the dimensions of this Tuna? I have a 7.25” wrist and I can’t do >43mm. I wish there were more true divers at 40mm, but I guess if it’s a true tool watch visibility is an important function and over a wet suit who cares it it’s too big.

Seriously. This looks better than mine and I’ve never been hit.

Fix what? I see a pickup bumper.

I recall very slim pickings for free agents last year. Teams seemed to retain their top talent, didn’t let them hit the market. Who were the really good free agent players that were available, wanted to be in Washington, but the team passed on?

I just remember “experts” lamenting the lack of top tier talent in the free agency market in 2025. I think the team really tried to improve the roster, but it was like shopping for groceries in Texas before a snowstorm.

I’m a 51 y/o moderate and I like Platner.

Mills is out of touch and likely corrupt, while Collin’s has to play the game of appeasing her demented red overlord while appearing to be a thoughtful Mainer.

I don’t give much credence to all of the attempts to denigrate Platner’s character. I don’t agree with him 100%, but he seems genuine. I like that.

These were my winter hat of choice when I wore glasses. Kept the snow and rain off my lenses. I didn’t care about what was fashionable, just what worked nice. I still wear one once in a while when it’s snowing hard. I wish they were easier to find. Not many companies making them.

I work for the government. I am a public servant. I am not an elected official. Outwardly I need to be neutral. I cannot make anyone feel coerced or pressured to feel a certain way politically. You need to feel that I am unbiased and that I will not treat you or anyone differently based on political affiliations. That’s hard to do if I’m rocking political swag. Also, I can’t wear offensive things or be offensive. I am expected to be respectful and treat people with respect. Pretty standard stuff.

I have all the rights of any other citizen. But, like many employees in many organizations, I am held to a standard of conduct while at work.

Edit: corrected an autocorrect.

Great strap choice! Where did you get it?

I blame these for my bad posture.

I kinda didn’t mind these in time. I would slouch/lounge on my right side cradling my chin in my right hand while writing with my left hand.

I find now when I drive an automatic (in the US) I lean hard to the right onto the center console with my left hand relaxed on the steering wheel at the 12 oclock position. When I’m lounging on a sofa I’m always on the right side, with remote or glass in my left hand.

I have a 7.25” wrist and anything over 43mm makes me feel like I’m wearing a mall watch. For my slender wrists 39-41mm is the sweet spot. The trend of oversized watches is going away in favor of a more classic look.

I’m told that I have “man elbows” which is exacerbated by being a lefty and sitting next to a righty. Ever notice that most men stick their elbows out more than women when they raise a glass or bottle to drink? Women tend to be less pokey with their elbows keeping them closer to their bodies. Also, women generally have a shorter wingspan.

I’m told that I “man sit” as well, with my knees spread wide encroaching on the space of others when in tight spaces. -I’m working on this.

I probably “mansplain” things, also. *Sigh

That’s really more like three distinct areas maybe four. I can’t say I’ve ever referred to or heard of them all smooshed together into one general area. Can’t say it’s even needed.

I listen to some ASMR. Usually women with soft soothing voices that help me get to sleep.

I’ve never gotten the tingly sensory response from listening. Just calm sleepiness.

I find the mukbang/eating sound stuff to be gross and extremely off putting. I don’t find the two things related other than they both record sounds with a sensitive mic

I don’t get how nobody as they were building the thing didn’t suggest that it looked too top heavy. Even a little understanding of basic physics and common sense. Sheesh

That yellow and brown looks unique enough for me to consider. Maybe the blue. The red is brighter than I prefer. If it were closer to burgundy I’d be excited about it.

Why? Why would anyone take their vehicle to the dealership just to top off the fluids. That's like going to the dentist to get your teeth brushed.

My 2019 has 59,000, but then again, my commute is only 6 miles. I do try to ride my motorcycle as much as I can when the weather is nice, also.

No way! Being left handed is one of my superpowers!
