Which hand do you scroll your phone with ?

[openmyhonesty]

Just looked at DH and he's scrolling his phone with his right hand, I'm scrolling with my left. As I'd then type with my right, well (and my left thumb.) Both of us are right handed ... I wonder what this means...

It means you have too much time on your hands.

Right hand for everything. I hold it so the phone rests on my pinkie, and I scroll/type with my thumb.

hold phone in left hand and scroll with the right😀

It means he's a bloke and his phone is designed for him to use one handed, but women's hands are normally too small to do this, so we have to use two hands.

I scroll with my right, but I am very careful to buy phones I can use one handed. I hate massive phones!

I'm left handed. I Predominantly I scroll with my right but can use my left. Mixture of both really when it comes to typing I tend to use both hands. But if I'm laying down it depends on what side that determines what hand I use to scroll/text.

Most people, however monodextrous (is that a word?!) they are, find that the rudimentary thumb/finger action needed to scroll on a phone is no easier on their dominant hand than their recessive one.

Do you only ever touch your face or head with your dominant hand? I don't mean something that requires motor skills, like brushing your teeth or hair (with a brush), but if you were scratching an itch, shielding your eyes to see ahead in bright sunlight, removing a stray hair or moving your hair out of your eyes, adjusting your glasses or, erm, 'manually decongesting' your nostrils(!) etc. I can only speak statistically-insignificantly for myself, however I'm strictly right-handed where strength and motor-skills are required, but I've noticed that I definitely tend to (unconsciously) favour my left hand/arm when I need to touch my face.

Same as when typing: whereas you likely find handwriting comfortably/neatly with a pen far easier with your dominant hand, do you use a keyboard (physical or on-screen) based on which hand is dominant or simply based on which hand is nearer to the key/button you need to press?

Also, if you were finger-tip-writing in snow or misted-up glass (or similar), you would likely find you could do it a bit faster with your dominant hand, but that you would find it no less comfortable and produce writing that was no less legible if you used your (slightly slower) less-dominant hand.

When I say typing, I should clarify that I'm meaning either on a laptop/desktop keyboard or holding a phone landscape, so that anybody would expect to use both hands, regardless of how big their hands are!

Right hand and I am left handed. To type I use both thumbs.

I scroll and hold my phone with my right hand. Type with either
I’m left handed though

Right handed and scroll with my right

I'm right handed I hold phone in my right hand and scroll with left hand or hold in left hand and scroll with my thumb. I text with my left hand.

For scissors though I use my right.

I'm left handed and it doesn't seem to affect how I use a phone\device. Currently using a kindle so larger than a phone but doesn't really change anything.

For typing it normally rests on the outermost two thirds of my fingers on both hands and I use both thumbs to type fast. Or hold it in my right hand and type with my left.

For scrolling it rests on the fingers of one hand and slightly over my palm and I scroll with the thumb of that hand. I can use either the left or right hand for this, but if I am doing something else at the same time the kindle tends to be in my left hand and my cup of tea or packet of biscuits in my right. If I am using a computer at the same time the kindle is in my right hand and the computer mouse in my right as I can't control the mouse using my right hand as my fine motor skills are better with my left hand.
