WHY, society? WHY?

[OptimusPrime]

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY...

 

... should I hold my fork in my left hand?

 

I do so out of personal preference, NOT because I have been moulded to fit some useless sense of uniformity!

 

Had to get that one off my chest. Society can consider itself told.

 

Or rot.

 

Actually, both.

 

I was going to say I will end this post by saying I dont know how to end it, but that is too great a contradiction even for the likes of moi.

 

P.S. Mein fuss ist in mein mund.

I hold my fork in my right hand. And no, I'm not left handed.

I hold my fork in my right hand unless I'm cutting then I switch it to my left so I can hold the knife in my right.

[Moon Sedai]

I'm actually surprised that Shadowspawn can hold a fork.

 

I mean, ever see a trolloc try to use table manners? Never!

 

Well, there was that one time in Beauty and the Beast

It's optimal for eye gouging. Want a demonstration? :P

I'm ambidextrous (write with my left hand more though) and switch which hand holds my silverware all of the time. Apparently I also "hold [my] fork like a barbarian" (such a nice thing for a mother to say when it was her lack of teaching that led to this...)

[Alaksuleiel]

I am left handed for fine motor skills and right handed for gross motor skills.

 

I write with my left and throw/lift with my right, I'm not sure why lol.

 

I also use a fork with my left hand, but if I am cutting vegetables I use my left and to hold the knife.

[bhskeeper11]

I write on paper with my right hand, ALWAYS have my fork/spoon in my right hand, and throw with my right hand.

 

I can swing a baseball bat with both hands, kick a soccer ball with both (although I favor my right), and use both hands equally for general household tasks.

 

I write on a white/chalk board mostly with my left hand, always use a knife in my left hand, mostly hold a drink in my left hand, and drive with only my left hand.

 

Go figure.

[OptimusPrime]

Yer all freaks!

[Niniel]

I´m extremely right handed and right footed. I can barely kick a ball with my left foot. I´m not sure I have a right brain. Clearly something is missing.

 

But I gave society (or more correct our government) a big kick in the *** recently. Yesterday I found out that I had an appeal approved in court. Yay! The government tried to refuse me rights that is rightfully mine but the court was on my side. If I would be able to grab our prime minister without throwing up I would put him in the dungeons. The trollocs could eat him slowly...

I have to know if he's attractive first. I don't eat ugly people.

that's what the garnish is for

[Pantsonfire]

Right handed people using fork in their right hand FTW!

 

It may mean I have to swap the utensils over every time someone sets the table but it's not as if I eat like a barbarian. Not all of us are like Heart

[Nynaeve]

yeah, I have to switch the utensils all the time... quite annoying. And when I set it for other people I have to think how I use it and put it reversed -_-

... so i'm the only one who uses plastic spoons then?

[LilyElizabeth]

No, Cindy, you're not.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

thanks for that. i was starting to worry.

I hold my fork in my right hand unless I'm cutting then I switch it to my left so I can hold the knife in my right.

 

Same...just the other way around. Also, I can't hold untensils in the same hand for too long, I keep switching every 10 seconds. Makes my grandma MAD

 

I write with my left and throw/lift with my right, I'm not sure why lol.

 

I write with my right, and lift stuff, work etc with my left. Mmmm, I dunno - perhaps it's instinct to 'protect' the hand you use to do the fine stuff, and do all the hard/heavy work with the other???

 

I can swing a baseball bat with both hands, kick a soccer ball with both (although I favor my right), and use both hands equally for general household tasks.

 

You....kick a soccer ball...with both your hands???

 

*blows whistle* HAND BALL! INDIRECT FREE KICK!!!

There was an understood "feet" in there. Somewhere.
