How do you fold your arms?

[IrisSenior]

right handed - right on top; right hand tucked under left are and with left hand on top of right arm above the elbow.

Ronni has way too much time on her hands, er arms. But I'm a left top, and a right lower.

Nah….I’m going a hundred miles an hour right now..this is my busy time!

It’s just anytime I see something that perplexes or intrigues me I’m gonna take a minute to a post about it because I’m a curious sort.

Just got my husband to test it too. He’s left handed. His left hand was tucked under and right was out.

OK, I folded 'em
Left arm on top
But, I'm a righty
However, my left leads when I swing
Golf, batting, swinging an ax, all left

Tried the other way...weird

I don't fold my arms, I just have them hanging by my sides.

Never thought about it, so just tried it. Both ways feel fine, maybe I am an ambidextrous arm folder?

 

[horseless carriage]

Arms tied, left over right.

The first thing that came to my oddball mind was, I can’t hold them cause they are attached to my shoulders.
But now back down to earth, I mostly fold my arms or put my hands in my pockets.

Good question. Right arm on top. Right handed. Left eye dominant. Left ear dominant. Right boot on first. Left foot first. Right door going in. Left door going out. My brain hemispheres are ambidextrous.

I know it’s a weird question.

But see I saw this random photo on an ad, and it just struck me that not all these guys had their arms folded the same way. So I folded my own arms to see how *I* did it.

Ok. So my left arm is on top. My left hand is also my dominant hand, though I’m ambidextrous. Is that just coincidence?

ALSO. I tried to fold my arms the OTHER way, with my right arm on top. First of all, it was actually confusing!! It took me a minute to work out how to do it! Secondly once I did, it jist felt SO WRONG!

1. How do you fold your arms and does it align with which of your hands is dominant?

2. What happens to you when you try and fold them the other way?

I don't really stand with my arms crossed, but I cross my arms when I do crunches, 100 right over left, and 100 left over right. It's a question of balance, as the Moody Blues would say. Mike

I always have my right arm on top and I am right-handed.

 

[Ruthanne]

When I fold my arms or cross them I'd say my right arm ends up under my left with my right hand holding my left upper arm. I'm right handed and that's the way I do it, so there....lol

Why do you say that?

 

[PhillipSchmid]

Right arm on top, left handed

 

[Lewkat]

Left arm on top, left handed.

 

[Lara]

Left arm on top...right handed

 

[Michael Z]

I am right handed but seem to fold my arms either way. I guess I am arm-i-dextrious!

 

[Georgiagranny]

What? I don't bother to fold them; I just do like I do with sox and underwear and stuff them in the drawer

 

[Pinky]

Right over left .. I'm right-handed.

I always liked the way that Jack Benny folded his arms. Then there would be a pause, and he’d say “Well!” A master of comic timing, Jack could say so much with gestures and expressions…

I'm ambidextrous

I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

This time of the year while it's so cold, I prefer to just keep my hands in my trouser pockets, that way, I keep my hands warm, and I get to do a random check to see if some of my other parts are still there.

 

[Supernatural]

Left arm first over right chest area, then right arm over left arm. Occasionally the other way around. I'm ambidextrous as well!

Arms folded Right arm over the left arm I’m left handed
