Question

I am right handed and do everything with my right hand so why is it that i can't pick my nose with my right hand, i have to pick my nose left handed, but i can't do anything else left handed.

Answer 1

yuk....use a tissue

Answer 2

with the nose it's all about angles, different hands have their advantage for it.

Answer 3

I'm right handed, and do everything with my right hand, except pour.

It's learned behaviour - Dad, my brother and I are all right-handed, but my mother is left-handed, and she was the one who always made the tea when I was a kid, therefore the kettle was always facing to the right (as a left-handed person would use it) and that was how I learned to use it as a child - result, I can pour things much more accurately with my left hand than I ever can with my right.

I've always assumed that was the reason, but interestingly enough, my (younger) brother still uses his kettle right-handed.

Answer 4

I'd say.... it's no biggie!

I'm left-handed on writing, but use scissors with my right, kick a football with my right leg etc.

Answer 5

No problem here, I'm ambidextrous at nose picks

:<)

Answer 6

You use your hand to pick your nose?!!!

Most people just use a finger, tell me, is your hand tiny or your nose huge?

Answer 7

that is weird....

Answer 8

euck why wud u wana pick ur nose anyway? but anyway maybe u've jus developed a preference to picking ur nose with the other hand from a young age n now ur used to it. im a bit like that i do everything such as writing choping stirring etc with my left hand but i can only use my right hand to move the mouse and use scissors but that cud be cos i had to get used to it as i didnt know before that u can adjust the buttons on the mouse for left handeders n i didnt like having to use left hand scissors.

Answer 9

I'm right handed but have to do cartwheels left handed.

I know a few people like that who have to do various activities (some quite rude) with the hand they don't usually use.

Not sure why.  One side of your brain must suddenly take over for those things but is quite happy to let the other side do everything else.

you are lucky .
