I introduced an electric shock pen to the bar I worked at. Everyone always asked other people for pens, then never gave them back. Took just a week and then no one asked me for one again...

I dislike anything that leaves an enormous smudge on the heel of my left hand.

The history lesson isn't worth the click, to be frank

Maybe they got split at birth. Want to swap?

I know a pair of identical twins, of which one is a righty and one is a lefty.

So not identical, therefore.
I'm a righty, and so is my sister.

I'm pretty sure the definition of identical in this case, refers to physical appearance, not physical tendencies.

Identical twins are caused by the division of the developing zygote into two entities. I believe there can still be some genetic variation after the division, but I'm not completely sure. I know they have the same DNA though.

Also, because in 20% of identical twins one is left-handed and the other is right-handed, there's a great possibility that left-handedness is not always a genetic trait.
I'm not sure whether it is for myself. Left-handedness runs in the family on my mom's side, but not my dad's side, and both of my parents are right-handed.
And then there's my cousin, who's right-handed, even though both of his parents and his sister are left-handed.

I make far too many mistakes when writing, so I must use an erasable writing ustensil. I also misplace my writing utensils quite often, so I use normal wooden pencils. I prefer PaperMate Mirado or Mirado Black Warrior, because they are easy to tell from everyone else's pencils, and they write and erase quite nicely.
Mechanical pencils are nice because their sharpness is consistent and they don't break when I put them in my pocket. But I never buy refills for them, so when they are empty I end up using regular pencils anyway. They are also more expensive to replace when I lose them.

You can train yourself to be left or right handed. Me, I'm working on becoming ambidextrous. No more writer's cramp!
Actually, I can write neatlier with my left hand than with my right hand.

Actually, it's a reference to the fact that they have the same genotype due to the zygote splits and stays apart. You are referring to the identicalness of the phenotypes, which is still technically accurate but not completely true.
