Jobs that require a good Left Hand

Interesting thing about handedness that most people wouldn't think about is: if you're a leftie and your machine gun (we all have one where I live in lousiana) can't be modified to be a leftie, the hot smoking bullet casings fly out in the direction of your face. Total pain in the ar*e when you're shooting burglars. Or flag burners. Or anyone from not round these parts.

Norman Smith BBC political correspondent.

Can't speak without his arms flailing about all over the place.  I'm sure his arms have got minds of their own.

KEEP STILL WHEN YOU'RE COMMENTATING ON TELEVISION NORMAN!

If I stood behind Smithy I'd find a very good use for my left hand.

I'd give him such a smack around the back of the head.

Hold it upside down when you're firing, JC.

Southpaw.

Pianist
Potter
Blacksmith
Farrier
Copy Typist (do they still have them)
AA Motorcyclist (I thought they saluted with their left but they used to use their right which clearly suggests the left was controlling the bike)

A pleasing little list I think

none of those require a good left hand

Knitting

Wiping their arse for religious types who eat with their right hand.

Knitting doesn't require a good left hand

yes you might be right , I think it depends on the type of knitting maybe the purl stitch

You see you can’t get left handed knitting needles

Just turn them upside down

yep that would work : )

To be left handed in the French language is classed as gouche,the English used the word for someone who is cumbersome, unarticulated,heavy handed,or someone who strays from the norm,ie witch ,I’m a left  handed and footed ,so I’m f00ked ,still make a good living plastering going against the rules of it, mind you my mind works different,have you read some of my posts

cack-handed

The language goes more deeply than that conditor. The words for left and right in latin are "sinister" and "dexter" and from what I've read the mistrust and considiration that the left was in some way "bad" or "evil" which led to use using that word for the meaning you'd understand it as. And when you look at Corbyn, it's hard to argue!

Sinister.

If you are left handed, would you be a Gemini, by any chance?

Left handers are better looking, more artistic, more intelligent, more caring and better lovers that right handed persons.

I'm ambidextrous at most things, very handy playing squash and snooker with both hands equally as well.

Bill Gates is left handed so the better looking and better lover thing checks out.

(Can still barely walk after his last UK visit )

Marilyn Monroe/ Angelina Jolie/ Nicole Kidman/ Julia Roberts for starters.

Sparring partner for a Southpaw ?

Rally driver
Co pilot on a plane
Axe shredder

One of Siamese twins. (nap)

Stride pianist .

Only 10% of us in the world, just glad I don’t have green eyes

Airplane Batsmen

This could have been an interesting thread

If you are a teacher writing on the blackboard a good left hand is an advantage because the pupils can see the words as you write them

Also if you cut your own hair

or have a job that means you have to change shirts quite often and button up the cuffs , maybe a stage actor

If you are an aircraft mechanic and have to fit a screw in the right hand corner of the small avionics bay on the side of the aircraft

If you are a tug of war professional

Guitar or violin etc actually.
I've always found it a little odd, arguably the most involved hand in guitar is the fretting hand, (classical guitar less so but certainly "rock" and so on).

Yet the classic way to play a violin or guitar is your less dextrous (see what I did there :)) hand doing the major fine detail and the "lesser" hand doing the less complicated bowing or plucking? Always found that strange.

Would be very hard to hit and maintain a rhythm using the weaker hand/wrist/arm imo. It just doesn't feel instinctive.

Also, imagine trying to do Pete Townshend windmill chords with your weaker arm. Hitting the strings accurately is hard enough even using your leading arm.

Not so sure them dds is correct .And not a coincidence this thread is in August ,13th is left handed day due to one studies findings that may be incorrect but there is evidence it’s not random .                                                                                              Here Tran relies on a number of assumptions. The first is that testosterone levels increase in the presence of daylight, via vitamin D. This has been confirmed. The next is that a mother’s testosterone levels influence the levels of the fetus she’s carrying — also confirmed. Where the science breaks down is in the third step, where the hypothesis comes in. It says greater intrauterine testosterone levels cause a delay in maturation in the left side of the brain, which, if brain lateralization holds true, means a person’s right hand would become the non-dominant hand. Thus, a lefty is born.

I sit on my left hand for about ten minutes then I can imagine it's a stranger when having a tug

After that, try sitting on your knob for 10 minutes. Then you can use your right hand to pretend you're tugging off a stranger.

Is that what's called a George Michael?

No. I think that refers to sitting on someone else's knob for 10 minutes.
