Random factoid about me

[pne]

I'm right-handed, but I wear my watch on my right wrist.

When I was in kindergarten, I remember wearing a watch on different wrists for a bit to see which side was more comfortable, and settled on the right wrist.

A bit strange, since most people wear their watch on the wrist they do not use to write with.

Holy cow! I thought I was the only right-handed person who wears their watch on the right wrist! Must tell my husband.

I used to run track and cross country, and since we usually ran counter-clockwise, my right hand was on the outside of the curves. It was always easier for me to bring the outside hand up to check my time, so the right hand is where it's stayed.

I could never get used to wearing a watch on either wrist and invariably broke or lost every watch I ever had.

I'm right handed and wear watch on right wrist too. It seemed the most sensible to me, since I can write *and* look at the time at the same time, and in school this was a handy skill. But everyone else thought I was mad.

Well I am mad, but that's beside the point.

Right-handed, right-watcher as well. I used to wear my watch on my left, but since my jade bracelet went onto my left hand, the watch would get scratched and bashed about. So, the jade and the bodhi seed wristlet are on the left and the watch is on the right.

Who writes anymore? I type all day =D

When I was younger I wore a watch on each wrist...

I'm left-handed, wear my watch on the right. My wife is left-handed, wears her watch on the left. I think she has it easier because her watch doesn't catch on the edge of the desk or mousepad when mousing. Any of you have that problem?

I've known lefties who mouse with their left hand, though (usually with the buttons reversed so that the right mouse button is the primary button).
