Just curious how many of us leftycappeds are out there and if they have any stories about being afflicted. I myself am a lefty and when I was in Organic chem my jr year they would call all the lefties up to the front of the room before an exam so they would know how many lefty desks they needed (very humiliating) 🙁 Anyway, if you're leftarded I want to hear your story.

At least you guys HAD lefty desks. We had to take 3+ hour engineering exams in lecture halls with the small 8"x8" fold up desks (all on the right side
of course). I'm sure I did some serious damage to my back and neck by
contorting so much for long periods of time!

That's brutal my lefty brother. The only reason we got lefty desks was because there was a disproportionate number of us in our 200 person class. I think enough complained that we got our way(we threatened to call our local Americans W/ Disabilities chapter). However, afterwards they paraded us around like freaks for their own amusement

I'm a southpaw. It hasn't caused any trouble in dental school that I can think of.

Just thinking about it from a non-dentist (yet) point of view, it would seem that the dental assistants would love working with lefties. Their right hand would be in a more natural position when working over someone.
Hey guys,
At Univ. of Toronto, all the lefty seats are on the aisle, so they are the most popular seats......the righties often take them because it's easier to get out...but it's weird they don't feel uncomfortable using left handed seats??????.. 😡 😡 😡
We lefties always have problems using right handed desk for 3 hour exams....
TO-boy

Both my sister and I tend to use both our hands equally (writing is the only thing that i do mostly with my right hand and she does it mostly with left); we are otherwise both-handed (what is term for this??)
It has been more advatagous to us rather than anything else and we often enjoy seeing people amazed for our "unique abilities" as they call it... lol... bunch of ignorants...

I was fully ambidextrous until my elementary teachers for not choosing which hand to write with attacked me. I still do a variety of tasks with both hands without a thought such as eating. I always exchange eating utensils between hands, and I do many tasks solely with my left.

I always notice other lefties too...it's like some sort of secret organization!
Hey, I'm off to take my last final (of undergraduate at least)!! Woo Hoo!
Good luck on your exam!!! I just finished yesterday too..... 😀 😀
In some countries, like India, elementary teachers give you a whacking with a ruler when you use your left hand to write.......I remember I got a couple whacks on my knuckles.....but I didn't and couldn't write with my right hand....I'm glad I refused, I'm PROUD to be a lefty.....
But in dental school do they have special dummies or practice areas for lefties??????
TO-boy
Prefer right hand, but can use both. skillful 😎
Only one of them? 😉natush said:
