I was never aware of these things until they were pointed out by other people. I just assumed I was right handed. Except for guitar, I noticed that because playing it upside down is a pain. Though I haven't played for many years now.
That's interesting, yeah. For some things like in which hand to hold a fork and knife, I seem to do it backwards from the "left-handed way" sometimes, but for things like playing a guitar or other things like that it's cool that people are kind of mixed-handed haha. :P

It is interesting, and after I was made aware I have started to notice it in others.

I've been asked a number of times am I ambidextrous, and I'm still not sure what it is people see that prompt that question. But I can say without a doubt I'm not. What one hand is good at the other fails miserably.

Both my parents are right handed, and both my siblings are left handed. I guess I got a mixed deal :)

I'm left-handed for sure, but there's a few things I'm way better at doing with my right hand. Clicking my mouse for example.
Lol yeah that's another interesting one. I've never seen or heard of a left-handed person who uses their left hand for the mouse on a computer, even though it seems like lefties would.

I think it would be so cool to be ambidextrous. :P Sometimes when I'm in class I'll try to write with my right hand just for fun, but it always ends in a rage-quit about 2 words in!

Both my parents were left handed with my dad having to learn how to write with his right hand in school, but my mum was more fortunate and was able (allowed) to use her left. However, both my brother and I are right handed.

The school didn't let your dad write with his left hand? How odd. :o

I'm ambidextrous when I want to be.
How does that work? :P

Yeah, apparently they were a bit late at abolishing that :/
