OP forgot the Ambidextrous option. 
inb4 "that's what STAL is for". No, that's the option you choose after you misused a chainsaw and sliced off both of your hands, making this poll invalid.

This raises my suspicion that leftys are more prone to drug use, For some odd reason.
Edit: Only 10% of people in the world are left handed. Yet here we have roughly 50% lefty members. I'd like to wait until more people poll in though to say that this is a true confirmation

Maybe the title shouldn't of been "Are you a lefty?" because only left-handed people are going to click on it.
I'm left-handed.

This poll is biased. The thread title is attracting lefties, and skewing the results.

It's surprising how many of us here are lefty including myself. I believe only 8% of the worlds' population are lefty and this little poll shows more lefties than right handed people...
Maybe shrooms make you gay lefty.

Fuck spiral-ringed notebooks: Flip them over. When someone complains, explain that is a lot easier for someone to read from the back to the front, than it is for you to write with the binding on the left side.
Fuck handshakes: get over it
Fuck scissors: I had no idea scissors were not ambidextrous.

From a developmental psychology standpoint, handedness and sexual orientation have a lot of things in common. Not that lefties or righties are more likely to be gay (although there are studies that do indicate lefties are). But that both traits seem to be fixed during early neurodevelopment in the fetus, and neither trait seems to have a deterministic genetic basis. While two left handed parents are more likely to have a left handed child, the statistics do not come close to proving a genetic basis,

Yes. Although I was just making a joke, there's a lot of interesting personality traits that differ depending on handedness. I never knew a about the sexual preference aspect of it tho. Interesting.
Oh and here is a thread from several months ago about lefties here on the shroomery. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/18700681#18700681

Yeah, I done fucked that up, I will admit. I should have said that sexual orientation and handedness are analogous in many ways. They are both traits that seem to occur at a fairly constant rate, and I think both traits would defy any attempt to be bred out of the population. Right handed parents will still have left handed children, just as straight parents will have gay children.

I didn't even think about that. I feel like an idiot not thinking about that and almost ordering a spiral notebook with the spirals on the opposite side. 
I was looking at a couple websites just now for lefties only and they truly have some ridiculous things. I mean, lefty scissors are pretty useful to me, but one of these sites were trying to sell "left handed pens and knives." LOL
I can't believe people would be gullible enough to buy something just because the packaging says "lefty" and costs 5 times the regular price.

I used to be ambidextrous but in kindergarten my teacher said I had to choose which hand I wanted to use, one or the other. Being young and naive, I just thought this was a part of school & growing up and actually listened to her and went with my right hand.
Looking back on that, ....that bitch was a relic, this old black lady that constantly had a swath of musk about her, would smack kids around like it was the old days.
I was watching home videos recently from when I was a youngin', it was interesting to watch my self utilizing both hands for all sorts of tasks and not having a dominant hand.

I attended a private, Southern Baptist school as a kid, and they attempted to thwart my sinister parity until my mom found out and lost her shit on them because she was afraid it would mentally handicap me or worse. She made them acquire a lefty desk for me to use all the way through junior high. I was the only kid to exit my desk on the opposite side, messing up my teachers' neat rows of blue-plaid uniformed little bodies.

It was more for the novelty of owning lefty school supplies, like a badge of honour identifying me to the few southpawed minions of my high school.
That being said, it was almost 25 years ago when I was a kid with random money to spend on cool school supplies.

Before this thread, I never knew simple things like scissors impede the day to day life of a lefty. Plus, lefty = satan. Poor lefties 
But seriously I was told my aunt was a lefty but they made her switch in school cause it's the devil or whatever, so I guess that's a thing.

I'm lefty. Wouldn't have it any other way. I do some things with my right hand. Like fish. Throw a boomerang. And give myself strangers.

Lefty here.
But partially ambidextrous due to living in a right-handed dominant world.
I eat/write with my left hand, but I do most other things with right hand like throw balls, whack off and such.

Right on. 
Honestly tho. I wouldn't call myself ambidextrous because my left hand is dominant in strength and daily tasks, but as far as sports go I switch up depending on the sport.
For example, I throw a football with my left, but shoot a basketball with my right. Throw a baseball with my right, but play tennis with my left. It's some pretty weird stuff.

Throwing seems to be something really tied to handedness. I'm surprised to hear that one type of ball is thrown with one hand and another with the other.

This.
I can write with both, but I it's much easier and faster for me to use my left hand. I've noticed that my left side is just more dextrous/nimble, and my right is stronger. I can throw farther with my right hand and more accurately with my left, and my first instinct is to do things "backwards". My handwriting is much neater with my right, probably because I have to go a bit slower. It's a total trainwreck with my left(unless we're talking cursive), but I can write much faster.

Honestly I feel like being ambidextrous makes me more clumsy.
