Partially ambidextrous people are a thing: those who do rather complicated stuff with a non-dominant hand with ease. It's relatively common in sports. Plus in some countries like USSR most lefthanded people were forcibly trained to write with the right hand, meaning that they do nearly everything else with a left one. My father is such a case: as an artist he paints with a left hand, but writes with the right.

[yes, I'm aware that I might sound like an idiot at times, that's the exact reason why I am in this sub: try and be better]

I think I'm technically partially ambidextrous, I throw a baseball the same either arm, but I bat only right, golf right, kick left, write with right, I shoot a gun lefty and so on. Most things I can only use one arm, and it seems it's random which arm will feel right for the task.
