I THINK I have my DH trained after 40 years. He always seems to come to me with the pair of scissors he's found to ask if it's okay to cut so and so with these.
|
My Bf only did this once (I found them in the kitchen), they were replaced with an upgraded pair that cost him dearly. He has not used/touched the replacements! Love all the stories - what great giggle to cheer up a gloomy day.

Funny how territorial we are about our good scissors!
If that's the "worst" mistake that is made, life is still good. (After we get new scissors, of course!) |
My DH never goes into my craft room without asking first. That being said, my scissors are all marked in Sharpie on the outside of the blades as to what they can be used for! Heaven help him if he uses the one's marked "sewing" for anything but fabric.:( Of course, I can't keep a pair in the kitchen drawer, they keep disappearing, so I buy cheapies from the dollar store.

While I was at the cutting table a man came over and asked for a specific kind of scissors. The girl told him that they didn't carry that brand, but she could help him find some similar. The man said no thanks. They had to be exactly the same. He had used his wife's sewing scissors to cut tin and he had to replace them before she found out. I was sure to tell DH about this, just in case.

awe poor guy !! at least he is trying to make things right !!!

When I finally got my quilting room it was next to his VERY messy workshop, one rule I had was if he left his stuff in my quilt room I could toss it and he could toss mine if I left it in his workshop. He's been missing some screw drivers for some time now........

That is a funny story! I have had my hubby and kids trained for a longggggggggg time not to touch my sewing scissors. They were threatened enough not to otuch them. Most men feel whats the difference. But quilters and sewers alike all know the difference! Luann

I used to carry my good ones in my purse to ensure this didn't happen. No longer a problem.

I have about 7-8 old pairs of Fiskars spread throughout the house. DH knows if it doesn't have a colored handle, don't use it. My Ginger scissors are all in the sewing room where they'll be safe from someone looking to grab the first sharp thing he can find. He thinks sharp points are made to poke holes in cans and knives can fill in for screwdrivers. If I left a good pair of scissors around they'd get the same treatment if they were the first thing he spotted. There's only two of us in the house but you'd be amazed at how many "I don't know what happened, I never touched them" answers I get. It must be that blasted ghost we don't have.
