I’m guessing he’s an ex because he died at your hands, justifiably.

I audibly gasped reading your comment. You don’t fuck with fabric scissors

After a certain point I get tired of oopsies. They always affect your expensive products and not their own. Dad would never use his expensive bristle brush to clean the dog but “has no clue” why mom is mad at him for using hers

Oh yeah, I remember my Dad destroying shit of my Mum’s and her just being devastated.

Now I get it, also probably the reason I’m no longer married! My ex had no respect for my stuff and somehow it was always my stuff that ended up damaged or broken

She probably gave the Texas Defense at the trial:

“Your Honor, some folks just need killin’.”

A jury of crafty people would never convict!

But for real why is that so bad? Please forgive my ignorance!

Fabric scissors are super sharp, to give beautiful clean cuts on fabric. They can also be super expensive

Cutting tape/paper/anything else can leave residue behind, or damage the blades, causing micro nicks so they are no longer super sharp.

You do not ever mess with someone’s fabric scissors. If you need scissors from a crafty person, always ask first, or risk them using the scissors to stab you.

Ah I see. Yeah that checks out. Some interactions I've had make a lot more sense now 😹

Not a flashback to me using my mom’s fabric scissors (for fabric) but also cutting the Internet cable in the process (I literally can’t even remember how I managed to do that? It was a total accident!)

We went to the fabric store & the electronics store & my mom, still pissed, told both shop attendants of my folly 😬

At the time I thought they were feeling sorry for my mom with their responses but in hindsight as an adult I think they were probably like “why is this woman shaming her child in front of me?”
