Ok, 2nd attempt!

Following on from a convo I just had with a friend, who I found, like me, also holds a knife and fork the opposite way to most people (knife in the left hand and fork in the right). However, she is left-handed, and I'm right-handed. So I was curious to know how many other people do this (use opposite hands to their dominate one.)

Depending on whether you are left-handed or right-handed, do you hold your:

:boost_ok:

@GwenfarsGarden I... huh. I often switch hands sometimes when I'm eating but normally it's knife in right, fork in left, but then I often switch the fork to my right hand to actually eat. ...weird. never really thoughta bout this much

@Nine I can't even remember how my friend and I got onto the convo, it's not something I think about normally either.

It has been interesting to see that there is lots of mixing going on, and some people like me who are right-handed, except with a knife and fork.

@GwenfarsGarden @Nine There was something else I recently realized I do in a lefthanded way, although as far as I know I've never been lefthanded, didn't have it trained out of me or anything.

Oh, yeah, counting cash at work. I hold the stack of bills in my right hand and pull the bills I'm counting off the bottom of the stack with my left hand. A few weeks ago I realized that's probably an odd way for a right-hander to do it.
