Popular Post BookMan Posted September 14, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted September 14, 2012 I'm a righty. I sometimes wish I was ambidextrous...and that I could ALSO use my feet as hands. This would be ideal when riding a scooter. I could have my mobile in my right hand while making a call. My left hand could be holding an Umbrella for protection against the sun. My left foot holding a bag of iced Cola and my right foot to steer the scooter. Perfect! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geriatrickid Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Is there any religious or cultural taboo in Thailand against southpaws/lefties/devils spawn? Ok, seriously, I know that in the good old days, kids in the west had their left hands tied behind their backs to try and change their behaviour. Did they do it or practice this approach in Thailand?

kurnell Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 When I injured my thumb many years ago I had to learn to use both hands. Very hard to get that wrist action right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisinth Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I think it happened to me when i first moved here, being ambidextrous that is. I found that before long I could drink beer using either or both hands at once! Amazing Thailand................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooo Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I was left handed, nuns soon made me right handed. Can use both for a lot of chores & some writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My GF is so adroit she can pick up small items from the floor with either foot. Never coins or banknotes tho'... Just as well 'cos otherwise she's fairly clumsy - always dropping things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Payboy Posted September 15, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2012 A Scot's walking through a field, sees a man drinking water from a pond using one hand. The Scotsman shouts 'Awa ye feel hoor thatâs full Oâ coos Sharn' The man shouts back 'I'm English, speak English, I didn't understand you'. The Scot shouts back 'Use both hands, you'll get more in.' 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StreetCowboy Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I'm a righty. I sometimes wish I was ambidextrous...and that I could ALSO use my feet as hands. This would be ideal when riding a scooter. I could have my mobile in my right hand while making a call. My left hand could be holding an Umbrella for protection against the sun. My left foot holding a bag of iced Cola and my right foot to steer the scooter. Perfect! One should not attempt to steer a motor vehicle using only one foot. Keep both feet on the handlebars at all times, and remember to keep one hand free for gesticulating at other motorists SC EDIT: Back on topic, I switched to being right-handed long before I moved to Thailand, and I don't think there is any causal link between the two events 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoDogz Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Meaning doing 2 things at once right ?...meaning also interpreted as Bi right ?

Judecalling Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 Yes well ... it seemed funny to me at the time ... somehow. ?? : ) I have been celebrating my birthday over approx 2 weeks ... but the party is over now .. and it's back to boring reality. Thank you anyway. (When i peeked one eye open the other morning ... i was wishing it was a dream LOL : ) sure you all know the feeling.) Especially like Bookman (very funny) and SC (very human). I will try and think of something interesting to say on my 'off the wall' and chosen topic. ! Please don't hold your breath ... but i will come up with an interesting fact ... watch this space. ! (I like to save face when i can : )))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkkjames Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I am right handed but it just feels better using my left hand for some reason. Kinda like watching a left handed golfer - swing always looks nice - even when they shank their 3 iron all over the course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliaminBKK Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Lefty here - I can do almost everything with my right hand except write & use scissors with any precision. Finding left handed scissors is always fun I still have my Grandmothers. And as for golf I've tried both & I equally suck left or right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonobo Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Just as a piece of trivia, "sinister" is derived from the Latin word for left-handed.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpinx Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 More trivia -- Scots call lefties "cach-handed" (Spelling?) Cach is shit in gaelic - and indo-aryan language. The origins are in the ancient tradition - still practised in some parts of India, where the right hand is used for touching the body above the waist - most importantly eating - and the left was used for the lower parts - including washing your bum.

trainman34014 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 When you're sitting on the bog in Thailand the hand spray is always to your right, so it's spray with right, hand on arse with your left, so you are using both hands to do what you would do with one in the West. Does this mean we have become ambidextrous? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
