I don't remember what DH was using mine for but he learned not to. He then went out and bought a pair of scissors for himself to cut paper.... and told me "DON"T TOUCH" lol
:-D
At work there are co workers who want to borrow the scissors we but fabric with. If we are able to catch them (or they are nice enough to ask) I tell them NOT UNLESS YOU ARE CUTTING FABRIC.

I did catch a customer using the ones at work to cut the coupon (cardboard) off a box top so he could use the coupon when he purchased the product. !!! I just gave him a 'look' and he put them down. I then handed him a pair he could use. I'm not sure which surprised me more - his using the scissors or actually cutting the coupon off the box BEFORE he bought it.

I was in a QS behind a woman with her DH, The clerk asked if she needed anything else and she quickly picked up a pair of Ginghers. When the clerk rang them up, her DH said I'm not really going to pay that price for a pair of scissors am I? She calmly said yes you will and this time I bet you won't take them to the garage. LOL

When I returned from taking a daughter to Mayo Clinic for a week, my second best scissors were missing. The culprits, my husband and young son, were probably playing dumb. The missing scisssors were found in the tackle box in a briny solution that had spilled. Needless to say, the scissors were given to the tackle box and a wonderful new pair was purchased with my husband's spending money, not household money.

My best scissors were with me so they were safe.

My children were always told to NEVER cut paper with my sewing scissors. One day i found my DD#2 using the pointed end of my sewing scissors to open a can of something with one of those tin lids. She was trying to puncture a hole!!!! I yelled at her and she said that she wasn't cutting paper!!!

My husband took my best shears and used them for the kitchen wallpapering job he really didn't want to do.

My husband doesn't use my sewing scissors, because I bought a dozen Fiskars at Costco. I also have a box cutter to open packages. My good sewing scissors are safely in my sewing room.
