I normally tap mine back in with a rubber mallet, and if i was left handed it would make natural sense to tap from the left with my controlling hand.
I get a similar scenario at work when i'm cleaning/unreeling a cable drum that's come back in from a job and i know when it's been reeled up by a left handed person because they will have reeled the cable onto the drum anti clockwise, instead of a right handed clockwise which makes things a bit cack-handed if you're the opposite. :lol
Agreed.
The 2nd point you made about the cable drum reeling, reminds me of the days I flew big Powerkites, and reeling up the flying lines.
If you happened to hold the Bar with the opposite hand on the previous outing winding/unwinding, you ended up with 4 x 25metre lines all tangled and then had to spend a further 30+ minutes fixing the 'birds nest' before you could fly... all while your 13+ metre wide powerkite was trying its best (on its own) to take off in the wind.... also the embarrassment of having your mates out and flying already, while you were grounded working on your lines! :\ :lol
