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

I solved the scissor problem whe the Dollar Store came in. I buy about 3 pairs at a time and lay them around the house so husband uses them because they are in plain sight. Have caught him in the past using "GOOD" scissors to wrap Christmas presents. That has changed too now we use gift bags.

The worst way I have seen mine used is when my son took my brand new, expensive sewing shears and cut off his cast with them! Needless to say, they couldn't cut anything after that!
BTW, he is 32 now and I still won't let him forget!LOL

When I found my best pair of scissor being used to cut the hard plastic package wrap from a toy package I thought well they are the best scissors. I bought a more of them. Now all the scissors in the house are the good scissors and my scissors are left alone. No more hassles about scissors. Quality scissors are so inexpensive now compared to years ago.

I'm one of the guilty kids who used to use Mom's sewing scissors for everything but fabric. She never caught me but knew that someone in our house was doing something they shouldn't. She'd yell when she'd find them somewhere not near the sewing machine. We'd all look at her innocently and say nothing.
It wasn't like she actually ever sewed. So we didn't see any harm of it.
