Umm..... just shake their hands. At least, I would, because I'd prefer to make a good impression (and thus hopefully get something that I want out of the business relationship)

Actually, I was at a wedding once, when I was a little younger, and I was meeting someone that apparently I was supposed to meet (I forget why). He stuck his right hand out, and I stuck my left hand out. xD He laughed, and then switched to his left and shook. I suppose if you could get people to do THAT every time, it would work. And as Australian Bunny said, it wouldn't be wise at a job interview.

... Then again, since I'm in no danger of losing the job I have, I think I'll just apply to some crap place and try that now. xD Thanks for the idea, Bunny artist!

Writing, drawing - Right

Shooting rifles - Left. My right eye's blind, so dad had to teach me how to shoot rifles left-handed.

Shooting pistols and paintball guns - Right

Fighting - Working on ambidextrous. Still a bit clumsy with the left hand when using something somewhat weighty. Next time I see my cousin, I'll try to get some practice. He's usually a good sparring partner, if a bit hyperactive. Evasive little bugger, I'll tell ya that much.

Flipping The Bird - Left. I'm usually walking away, and I turn right to walk away usually.

Total - Tied. Right-handed longer, though, so it wins.

It's true. My late grandfather would tell me about how everyone told him that his using his left hand is bad and wrong.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. I do tend to use my left for drinking, usually just because the right is holding a mouse.

I think everyone tends to stray to the left when they walk though.

Not me...I tend to stray downwards. My equilibrium is terrible.

people stray to the left when walking? that seems a little farfetched to me... i can understand a car leaning one way or the other...but for walking?

I've heard that statistic. Some jackass kid told it to me when I was little, in fact. I always thought it was a myth, so I decided to investigate. If you wade through it (the article below is a little statistically intensive), it shows that left handed people actually only have a higher occurence of death in warfare, and COULD be more prone to serious accidents, but that part is debatable. Thus lefties, provided they do not engage in warfare and are lucky enough to not have a serious accident, have about the same life span until death as righties.

And, at least in Spain, 'right' is capitalism and 'left' comunism (right hasn't the meaning of "correct" in spanish), so you can attack with that tipe of discrimination if they hit you with the right punch.

I usually stray to the right. I used to be left handed, but I grew into being right handed because my grade 1,2,3 teachers were bitches.

I also have NOTHING against leftys. It's what makes us unique.
