    Right handed. Thankfully my handwriting is shit enough that even using my left hand it still looks relatively similar. But for all other things, my left hand might as well be a dead fish.

    Right-handed. I can do a few things with my left, like holding my fork with my left and using a knife with my right. There was one time I tried a tennis racquet with my left hand, and let's just say the results are hilarious.

    My mom is left handed, though! She writes with her left and often when she shops for utensils she tries to find ones using left hand.

    Right handed.

    I can do some stuff with the left hand, e.g. keyboard and karate stuff, but it's still easily my weaker hand.

    Right handed, it sure would be cool to be ambidextrous though

    I'm right-handed like most of the population. My mom's side of the family are mostly all left-handed or ambidextrous. As a kid I wished I had inherited it because it seemed so unique and cool. Even made some feeble attempts to write and do more things with the left to "become" ambidextrous.

    I'm right-handed, and even if I tried to train writing with my left hand in the past, I never had enough constance to keep practising it. It certainly doesn't help that I don't write a lot by hand and when I do I have to take notes really fast and as neatly as possible.

    I am left handed but, I think like most lefties, am fairly ambidexterious. When I played baseball, I pitched with my left hand but when I played second base, I threw with my right. Also working in kitchens, you have to use your right hand a lot even if you are lefted handed because everything is oriented for righties.

    Kinda wonder why the majority of people are right-handed, or why everyone's not ambidextrous

    Because right handedness is a dominant trait whereas left handedness is a recessive trait. For instance, both of my parents are brunette and right handed and my mom has brown eyes. So the fact that I ended up with blonde hair, blue eyes and left handed was very unlikely since I had to receive recessive alleles from both parents in all of those traits. It would have been most likely for me to have brown hair, eyes and be right handed since those are all dominant traits.

    So I write right handed but most tasks I actually use my left hand predominantly.

    The TLDR of why is that my grandfather was naturally a lefty so when he was teaching my mom how to do stuff like tie her shoes, he did it left handed so she did it left handed, which meant when she taught me those things, I learned how to do them left handed. Thus when I eat, use the phone, tie my shoes, etc. I usually use my left hand instead of my right.
