It's not bad enough that I have this problem, but now you want to label me?! :)
At least I know it's not stupid since I have no problems with N, S, E, W and am very accurate at telling time without a watch.
However, there is one severely cold night dh & I were hooking up trailer lights in a parking lot and somewhere in the long, frigid hours that it took I mixed up L & R.....I'm sure somewhere in the deep, dark recesses of his mind "stupid" came into play, but he politely kept it to himself and told me to just raise the corresponding hand to show me which light is on.... :)
(I looked up dyspraxic and that's not it. I'm very coordinated, etc...)

Doesnt make you stupid - I know someone who is doing a very hard degree at university who has problems with telling left from right and directions.

Not sure, I just tell myself I write with my right hand.
Also, for those who can't provide a helpful answer why did you bother answering? Surely it's not in the spirit of community to put others down?

Ambidextrous
is the word for not diferentiating between being right handed or left handed. But i don't think this is exactly what you mean.

I think its "dyspraxic" (as opposed to dyslexic) its a problem with physical co-ordination
