Lefties rule!
Uh... yeah!

I closed my right eye, and stuck with that while I clicked, and then realized after the fact that I would have been much more comfortable closing my left eye because I'm right handed. Funny how that works!

Which eye you close might have something to do with eye dominance as well. I have a left eye dominance so I always close my right eye.

I thought about it for a second ...

... and thought "if this is some sort of optical illusion thing, then only using one eye won't matter as I only have a 2D screen" so I didn't close either eye and then clicked ... so no answer matches :-(

In my case, I find that closing my left eye is physically rather easier than closing the right, which may have something to do with it. I have no idea why my face is lopsided - it always has been slightly. Smiling is the same -- the left side moves more naturally than the right.

I am right handed but left eyed, because the right one is a bit short sighted. This is what they taught me to do when I tried archery.

to add

My right eye is the dominant one because my left doesn't really feature in my vision (when I close it I only lose a small portion of my field of vision).

ION, have you seen today's Dork Tower? ;o)

whereas I'm ambidextrous, slightly left-handed, but have nerves wrecked in the left side of my cheek from an accident when I was a kid, and so smile and squit much more with my right eye/side.

just to be tricky

Closed my left eye - it's by far the weaker of the two, but I'm right-handed.

[wintrmute.livejournal.com]

I notice about twice as many people closed their left eye compared to their right, for any given handed-ness - at the point I looked at the poll anyway.

I closed my left too.. I don't know if it has anything to do with me being used to doing that to use a camera, which IMO is biassed towards people using their right eye. (Although, i'm probably biassed, being right-handed)

Not having any context whatsoever, but are we going? Tickets selling fast

I saw a sciency-type programme years ago that proposed that being right- or left-eyed was not related to being right- or left-handed.

I shoot (yes, real guns, not that Airsoft rubbish!) with my right eye and use my telescope with my right eye, but I take photographs exclusively with my left eye.

Also, I have been known to occasionally spend protracted periods of time with only one contact lense in (pre-aviation you'll be relieved to hear). It takes a day or so for Mr.Brain to get itself sorted out, but soon you adapt to only having one eye working regardless of which one, and when you get both back again Mr.Brain ignores the newly sighted one for quite some time. I found judging distance when driving between me and cars parked along the road on my left the hardest.....
