I am indeed one of that talented intelligent minority.
One day we shall rise up and rule as we are meant to.

I'm also left handed.
Based on my research, left handed people are either too dumb or too smart. Unfortunately I'm not one of the smart ones, but I'm not dumb either. I would say I'm average. Maybe it's because I'm just lazy. My brother said to me one time though that there are some people who won't know that they are smart until they grow up.
Also I heard that lefties can be clumsy or abnormal. What do you think?

i'm sometimes clumsy but i don;t think that has anything to do with my lefthandedness.
any left handers use their right hand for anything? i have always used scissors in my right hand. just doesn't feel right in my left (no pun intended).
when i discovered they ade scissors for left handed folk, i figured that maybe thats what the problem was, so i tried lefty scissors in my left and it still don;t feel right. i guess i just got used to using my right hand for scissors.
i also use my right hand for brushing my teeth. but there are no left handed toothbrushes for that lol

Hmm yes, some people use their right hand for different things like you. I'm also pretty clumsy. I use my left hand for almost everything and I don't really have any problems with the right hand tools including scissors. I don't know why some leftys does. Weird though because when I use the can opener, I use my right hand. I probably got used to it haha.

turn whatever you are writing on to a 45 degree angle and voila! problem solved!!
a lil trick i learned from primary school that iritatesd the crap out of whoever was sitting on my left lol (tip 2: if sitting next to a right hander, make sure they are on yur right)
it also stops that whole "writng with hand upside down" thing that always looked so painful and awkward to me.

I throw a frisbee with my right hand, but only the backhand. When I throw a forehand I use my left. I'm sure there are 10 other things I do "righty" but I can't think of what they are. Actually, I can drink with either hand, so maybe that counts, lol.
That wasn't the problem, the so-called "left-handed scissors" are even worse than the regular ones. They used to hand them out in art class. You could tell which ones they were since they had "LEFTY" engraved on one of the blades. Using the word "blade" is generous. But trying to cut with them was an exercise in futility. You'd try to cut and just end up folding the paper. Save your money and just use regular scissors.

Well, I dare to say I'm somewhat left-handed.
I acctually suffer the confusion of mixed-handedness. With a pencil I write with my left hand, while I use scissors with my right hand.
Usually I need to decide quickly whether I'm going to use my left or right side.
I'm definatly not ambidextrous though.

I am left-handed too.
But in this right-hand dominated world you have to do many things the right-hand way coz that is how they set it up against us.
Apparently, I heard a couple years ago that in America alone about 1,400 lefthanded people die the cause being having to use machinery that is righthanded. That is what someone told me and it made logical sense.

I'm left handed, and my handwriting used to be terrible. In high school I was given handwriting lessons, so now my handwriting is quite neat. Right handed people find it really difficult to show left-handed people how to do stuff that involves using the left hand.
I've always used scissors and stuff in my left hand, and never used any purpose made left-handed products.
