Default Things that are really ackward with your non-dominant hand

I'm sure a few of you have broken your dominant hand/wrist/arm and had it in a cast, but I never have. I think I'd want to die if I did... it's just too strange to do some things with my left hand.

What have you noticed feels really weird (or is almost impossible to do correctly) with you non-dominant hand?

For me,

Brushing teeth (try it if you haven't)
Throwing a ball
taking a leak (if I'm in a hurry I brush teeth with one hand, take leak with other. Brushing teeth is MUCH more difficult than taking a leak so I give my right-hand to it)
using a corkscrew
obviously other "sport-related" activities like shooting pool, throwing darts, etc are going to be equally as strange as throwing a ball

I tried to put on some chapstick a few days ago (the kind you squeeze onto your finger and rub onto your lips) and that was pretty weird too.


If you're ambidextrous then I hate you and don't care what you have to say.

I don't care if you have a hard time using right-handed items (like scissors) with your left hand; they're designed to be that way.

*edit* Using a mouse is pretty weird too
