No one's completely ambidextrous. We all have one hand that's slightly better than the other, that's used more often.
But what about the other hand? What can you do with it?
For me, I'm right-handed. And my left-handed handwriting is like that of a first grader. A first grader with bad handwriting.
Yeah, I don't do much with my left hand but I'm trying to. I just habitually use my right for pretty much everything D:
WHAT ABOUT YOU GUYS
I'm only good with controlling movement with my left hand (wasd, d-pad, etc.)

I just realized, I can't really do this with my right. Like if a game requires using the arrow keys to move I hate it. I'd much rather use my left hand to move around.
I'd like to thank Realm of the Mad God for teaching me how to use the wasd keys.
I'm right-handed, but I use my left hand a lot too. Mostly to hold my food so I can eat while I drive :)
My right hand is dominant, but my left arm is more powerful, so left hand is used for heavy stuff while Right hand stays pretty for my writing.

So in other words, you fap with your left hand?

I don't know why my right arm is stronger than my left. I carry things in my left arm all the time. Heavy things. I always tend to use my left arm for larger jobs and my right arm/hand for more meticulous jobs... yet my right arm is still stronger.
Life sucks.
I'm good with both.
I'm pretty good with my right, but if I focus I can get my left hand to do fairly similar things (just more time consuming/requires more focus and whatnot).
I'm rather ambidextrous at one-handed driving, as I sometimes like drinking something (like pop, water, or coffee)-and taught myself how to work the stalks on the wheel (i.e. for turn signals, windshield wipers, headlights), turn the wheel (believe it or not I do better one hand turning with my left), and alter gear selection (this is better left to my right hand, mostly due to positioning).
I've also proven my ability to eat certain things with both hands rather well (I'm referring to utensil usage).
One-handed driving wouldn't be a problem with me either side, but I'd probably be using my right hand just because of my tendency to stick my arm out the window. Provided I was driving an automatic.

But which one is better
I dunno, it feels good either way.
I drive with my left hand. That's about it.
I've bowled left handed and got a strike on my first try... and one or two more within the same game after that... but no such luck ever since.
I'm right handed, but I can use my left hand for a variety of things. I'm not particularly ambidextrous, but if I worked on my writing a bit more I could say I do. I actually throw lefty because I have better control. Videogames, piano/music and typing certainly helped with this.
Right hand would be best.
But I am still slightly decent with my left.
Like when I'm working for instance.
I'm right-handed.

Decent, because my left hand handles the strings and such while playing bass.

I just realized...as to how interesting it'd be to watch someone drive a left-hand drive configured car that has a Manual Transmission, and use only their left hand.
Lulz/crashing/oshimoments might ensue heheheh... >=3

I can see how that could work...
Oh yeah, I can snap my fingers on my left hand, but not so well with my right.
I can snap with both hands, with both my middle and ring fingers.
As for driving, I usually keep my right hand on my gear shift.
I'm gonna be conflicted driving a standard. I don't know if I can do it without having my arm out the window.
I'm right-handed. To give you an idea of my level of ambidexterity, here is a list:
- I can write sloppily but legibly at a decent speed with my left hand
- I can play music videogame guitar/bass and drums on lefty expert for the most part (nothing too difficult though)
- I can hold my own in a sword fight fighting lefty (you know, fooling around with lightsabers and whatnot)
- I eat finger foods with only the index finger and thumb of my left hand (I don't use my right hand at all)
- I use silverware the so-called "European" style (i.e. knife in dominant hand, don't switch utensils when picking up food)

Oh yeah, I play guitar/bass on guitar hero/rock band left-handed. Without Lefty Flip. Don't ask, it's easier for me this way than any other way.
And I've tried that "European" thing as you called it. Not too bad at it.
i write with my left hand but do everything else (guitar, sports, ect) the right handed way

Right. That's what I meant. I play the controller left-handed but keep the screen the right way (literally). I have a friend that's lefty that does the same thing. It really is easier to read the notes the normal way. To be clear, I normally play righty everything. The lefty stuff is just the example of my level of ambidexterity.
On a side note, if you ever find yourself having to play on lefty mode for some reason, stand up (if you're not already), face the opposite direction of the screen, bend over all the way, and look at the screen through your legs. Just be careful of blood rushing to your head and whatnot.

Yeah the only thing I do left-handed dominantly is Guitar Hero/Rock Band. People think it's weird that I don't use lefty flip... but when I do.. yeah, it just seems backwards. It makes no sense.
I am right handed, though I do a couple things left handed, like playing hockey or eating. My mom is partially to blame since she taught me a lot of things while she herself is left handed.

...I can't believe I didn't notice that until this post.
Anything that requires strength, also writing = left hand
Everything else = right hand
Like I can't snap my fingers with my left hand to save my life. But with my right hand I can snap with all of them (Who needs coconuts? *makes galloping noises with fingers*)
