I am left-handed, left-eyed, left-footed. I prefer left by nature and by choice if there’s an option.
Below are few things I use right hand for, by habit/adaptation/lack of choice (mostly the last one):
- While eating with hand (Indian).
- Will use spoon with right hand in public and left-hand at home. Sometimes, at home, I snack with left-hand if I am alone.
- Using computer mouse at work
- Turning on/off ignition key in car daily
- Steering as my left-hand is mostly on gear shift (Right-side driving in India)
- Scissors, nail cutters, knives, peelers, can openers
- Hindu religious activities when obligated - rituals like pujas, lighting lamps, putting tilak/bindi, ringing bells in temples, taking prasad/harati (arti)
- Serving food at family events (avoid as much as I can)
- Using ATM
- Dialing on my office VOIP phone
- Buttoning/unbuttoning my shirts/jackets/trousers -yeah, you can do easily with single right hand, but not with single left hand. Try yourself!
- Locking/Unlocking paddle locks
- Open refrigerator door
- Biometric reader (fingerprint scanner) at my office turnstiles entry that reads only my right index finger.
- Clicking (pressing shutter button) on my SLR camera needs my right fingers (by design), though I use my left-eye for view-finder - my nose bumps and smears the LCD screen
