When I dated an East Indian fellow he thought it kind of gross that I used my left hand, but understood that in North America we do things differently. Side story...a friend of his moved here from India. He was told to put deodorant under his arms(because that's what we do here) Apparently, the next time they saw the guy he had a stick of deodorant under each arm.
