I’m right-handed but I mostly use my left for things like opening doors, picking up stuff, using phone, holding food… and my right hand for things that requires fined dexterity like writing, using utensils, using keys… My friends see me using my left-hand most of the time and kept asking me why I barely use my right hand. Some people who met for the first time actually thought that I’m left-handed for some reason.

Is it really that weird to not use your dominant hand as much? I’m sure I’m not born left-handed and trained to be right-handed when I was small, I’ve been right-handed for as long as I can remember.

    Knife in right hand is the normal way to use a knife and fork if you’re right-handed. Did they use their knife in their left hand? Sounds a bit sinister.

    Edit: never mind, I think I misread that

      They were left-handed and used the same hands as I did for the fork and the knife. It might simply be caused by the “normal” placement of the fork and knife next to the plate.
