I never had an issue at my house personally...BUT... I can still see the look of death on my grandma's face when she noticed her son using her fabric sheers for cutting the heads off, and slicing open the stomachs of smelt to clean them. Oh the chill in the air..and my grandpa just swallowed hard and said..I think I need to go potty..and outside to the outhouse he went. (when he needed a break and wanted to be left alone, he used the outhouse..cuz he knew no one else would)
