Worst way you've seen your good sewing scissors mistreated?

I put ribbon on ANY scissors that were OFF LIMITS to kids and DH. Well, kids are grown and have families of their own. I had to laugh the other day when my DH asked if he could use the "DOLLAR STORE" scissors. Geesch! I must have be a fanatic abt my scissors way back then. lol !

Not only does the family not touch my scissors, DH even asks permission to use my skrew drivers :D They all act like they are scared to death to come into my studio. Maybe it is the sign that says "unless you are a quilter this room is hazardus to your heath and could cause death. DO NOT ENTER!
