How about not remember right-from-left hand? Not remembering if the hot water is on the right vs left? Switching syllables in longer words? <- all of these are me.
- sporkologist 9y agoRichard Feynman had to consult a mole on his left hand to remember the difference between left and right.
- thenipper 9y agoOnce I got tattoos on my forearms it made figure out left and right so much easier.
- steinuil 9y agoWhen I was a kid I once wrote L and R on my forearms with a marker both for remembering which was which and to learn their name in english. I think it worked, because I always think of the corresponding forearm when I have to tell left from right.
- nannal 9y agoI have to refer to the hand I hold a mouse in, before that I used to imagine holding an n64 controller.
- zamalek 9y agoHold out your left hand and write "left" in the air using it as the L. After a few years of doing this (maybe two), this fixed the problem for me 99.99% of the time.
- milankragujevic 9y agoI actually have a rather big mark on my left hand and my grandmother taught me to differentiate left and right with that mark on my hand, which I still use as I sometimes get confused. Weird but true.
- adekok 9y agoFor most people, the right hand is the one you write with. For left-handed people, it's a bit more complicated.
- jasonm23 9y agoIt the one I don't write with... Not so complicated.
- whathemerow 9y agomy left hand is the one that makes an L shape. Hands flat, plams down, which index finger + thumb looks like an L? That's your left hand.
- cwbrandsma 9y agothat has never worked for me. The hand I automatically pick up a pencil with is the right hand. So I make like I'm holding a pencil and then use that hand.
