I was watching this on Decades and they were showing a scene of the Petries eating dinner and I noticed something-Rob's a "south-paw" (that means left-handed)

Noticable when he throws darts, or slams something down in the office.

Yes, he's left-handed, but he sometimes "fakes it" on the show, or maybe he writes right-handed.

I think in some early episodes neighbor Jerry calls him Lefty. I also recall once Laura is handing him the phone and he tells her he's "left-eared."

I've always noticed that because I'm left handed myself. It is actually one of the first things I notice about people. A little tip, usually left handed people wear their watches on their right hand. That is of course for the people that still wear a watch.

Me too. I always notice leftys, and oddities. Like Christopher Knight (Peter) on Brady Bunch, who throws a ball left-handed but appears to be otherwise right-handed.

For some reason I always wear a watch on the left arm.

I'm right-handed and would always wear my watch on my left arm, which I guess is the most common. Just felt more comfortable that way, and it kept out of the way.
