Me either, and if your right eye dominant your right eye dominant. Using your left eye to look through the viewfinder if you are right eye dominant doesn't make much sense. My optometrist, when he was correcting my vision for photography stressed the importance of eye dominance and knowing which eye is the dominant one.
This article goes into some detail about the reasons why you should know your dominant eye and use it..

But my optomitrist basically gave me the same advice stated in the article which says..
"I’ve seen discussions going on around the net, and people talking about “switching to using the left eye for stability.” I strongly suggest you figure out your eye dominance first before doing this. If you continually use your non-dominant eye you will cause problems down the road for yourself. If you already are near-sighted or far-sighted and have a prescription to correct this with glasses or contacts - using the wrong eye will make your condition deteriorate as you get older."
I think I would rather trust the advice of my optometrist. After all I pay him to look after the health of my eyes. As the Wikipedia also points out "Ocular dominance is an important consideration in predicting patient satisfaction with monovision correction in cataract surgery, refractive surgery, and contact lens wear.
