My friend and I had a random conversation the other day about which side you start with first when you brush your teeth. We're both right-handed but start on opposite sides. We both swear that our side is the more natural side to start with.
I'M TAKING VOTES
Which side is more natural to start with for you? (Or maybe you start in the... middle??)

I never thought about it until I brushed this morning, BUT
Right handed and starts on the right side.
Right handed and starts on the right side.
Please ping! I get distracted easily. 
I'm a lefty and I don't know which side I start on. I think more like top then bottom.

I'm friendly and will chat with anyone!
I am right handed, and I brush the left side of my mouth first.
If you can’t say something nice, Don’t say anything at all!
Hmmm interesting results! It seems like most people start brushing on the side opposite their dominant? (me too)
@Kozi: That's cool! How do you decide which hand to brush with?? (Or rather, how do you decide which hand to use for... everything?)

We\'ll carry on
@Hachi: it can also be because we read from left to right. I had an art class and they said that, if the subject isn’t in the centre, it should on the right, because that was it get the most attention.
As for your question for Kozi:
I too use both hands. I write and brush my teeth with right, but, when I clean the windows for example, I use left. I also use right for cutting things with a scissor because most are made for right handed people. When I cut things with a knife, I use either one.
@Hachi: It literally depends on which hand is busy. XDD I can write using either one. Although my writing with the left looks different, kind of italicized. When I use my tablet, I switch hands often. My right hand usually stays over by the mouse, since it is on the right side. Ironically, I don’t like usuing a mouse with my left hand, it’s weird. XD
I have terrible hand-eye coodination so something like brushing my teeth has to become something I really concentrate on. I start on my right side xD currently: new novel who dis?

@Tuijp: That makes sense. There are probably a number of things that we do subconsciously from left to right. Like I'm pretty sure that when I fold clothes, I always pick up the left side.
That's interesting! I suppose there are certain things that you've gotten used to doing with one hand as opposed to the other.
@Kozi: Oh is it maybe because using a mouse with your left hand would require you to switch which finger does the left/right click?
