    Irl I am right handed. Very right handed. My left hand sucks at doing things...

    Except pool/billiards. I, apparently play that left handed. I had no clue, I just picked up the pool cue and started playing that way. After a while someone asked why I played lefty when I was right handed. I watched other people play, and sure enough I was playing opposite the handedness of everyone else. So I tried "fixing" it. Boy, did that mess up my game.

    Maybe they have my pool quirk on those jobs?

    Yay! I'm not the only one! I have next to no dexterity with my left, but I've sank an 8-ball or two with it.

    To me, the rightys are the weird ones because it makes sense to me to bridge the que with my dominant hand for accuracy. But I have other odd quirks as well. I was in track, softball, and basketball in school. My coach asked me on several occasions if I was left-handed, and it's was because I would take the right side of home plate to bat, and jump hurdles and do layups springing with my left foot. But like pool, I felt I did things this way because I was indeed a righty but I was the only righty doing it. He thought he nailed it when he thought I was right-handed left footed, but when playing soccer or kickball, I'd kick with my right -

    I'm just twisted. Simple as that!

    When I think about ACN, I would also sheathe my book on my left side and swap the book from right to left when drawn depending on what I was doing with it. It actually really hurts to get hit with the spine of a book. It's like a piece of wood!
