Yeah, the watch thing is not 100% accurate. I can think of at least one right-handed person I know who wears their watch on their right wrist.
Early: Where'd she go? Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's not incorporeally possessing a space ship. Don't look at me.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'm a lefty, watch on right wrist. And I've taken grief for it.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Cindy, that's what I tell people who give me grief.
They don't listen to me, but I don't listen to them, either. So it all works out.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Why on earth do people care what wrist you wear your watch on? That's a weird thing to get peer pressured about. Says the right-handed non-watch wearer.
On another note, I remember seeing coffee cups with "Cup of tea, cup of tea, almost got shagged..." on them somewhere. I thought CafePress, but I can't find them there now. ANyone know if they still exist?

Same here. I also used to wear my belt backwards until I got this tacky Texan belt with a huge emblem of a horse on the buckle. When a few folks pointed out that my horse was upside down I realized I better switch it up. And stop wearing the Texan belt. Done 'em both.

Okay, two.

Not listening to them is the only sensible course. I just don't know why they think they get to have a say about another person's watch, to begin with. I'd support your efforts to wear it on your right wrist, even if you were a righty. Darn it.
Do you have a lot of lefties in your family, Fred? Dh's family seems to have a strong left handed gene, but our kids are all righties.

Some on my mother's side. My mother herself is right-handed but fairly ambidextrous. Her brother was forced to be right-handed and ended up dyslexic.
I do some things right-handed because I have to. I can't use lefty scissors anymore because I had to use righties for so many years.
In school, I had a speech that I'd recycle on left-handedness and the ways the world was set up for people unlike us. Lots of little things, like the way tables are set -- when I sit down at a restaurant, the first thing I do is switch the silverware around.
