Are you a leftie or a rightie?

With all the hatred and violence in the world, let's talk about something on a lighter note (or a heavy note, depending on where you live and if there is still persecution there)
Are you left-handed or right-handed
Are you left-footed or right-footed
Discuss
I am right handed and left footed
How 'bout you?

You should allow for multiple choices if possible.

"For that which is Right"

What do you think?

That being said, if push comes to shove* I can usually use my left hand to control ball (although not throw one), but otherwise I am extremely right handed and left footed**.

*If we consider handball, the non-Olympic kind, I possibly favour hitting the ball by bringing my hand across from my left shoulder (this is superficially like a backhand in tennis), so if the ball is on left side that is generally my response... if I have to use my left hand I have either erred or been forced into troublesome spot.

**This is naturally a problem in even "backyard" soccer... it is somewhat resolved by being okay at outside foot kicking.

Right-handed, except for *ehem* personal amusement, since I had a cast on my right hand when I first figured that out. My brother's a leftie, though.

Being a leftie isn't easy. For one, we're constantly being oppressed by the righties because of how different we are. Also, since a lot of things aren't made for us, they're harder/impractical to use, like pencils. Whenever I write or draw anything, I always end up smearing my hand over the paper as I do so. It sucks.

So, what makes pencils harder to use for lefties?

Now it may just be that I have huge hands, but whenever I write, my pinkie finger always ends up rubbing against the paper, getting pencil all over my fingers. I've never seen any righties have this happen to them, maybe I'm just not very observant, but it seems to be a leftie-only thing.

I've always had a preference for my right nipple, oh, that's not the discussion here?

Very well, I am right handed.

Not sure about leftfootedness or rightfootedness. In regards to me being a distance runner, whenever I entered the "runners, on your mark" phase of starting a race, I would place my left foot forward. Not sure if this means I'm left-footed because I placed that foot forward and would be able to push off of it to start the race, or if I'm right-footed because placing my left foot forward would mean that my right leg would be the first leg to move at the start.
