Answer 1

As a leftie here, and used to being ambidextrous to a certain extent in a right handed world , sometimes my mind does get confused which hand to use at times with example,nut crackers , and having to work against yourself with a soup ladle with spouts in a left hand when the spout is always on the right side. And no amount of manoeuvring do i get anything except a messy pour .
Do others get confused too?
