What’s the last thing you used a pair of scissors for?

[IHopeYouStepOnALegPiece]

I just cut the top off an open bag of crisps so I can eat the rest in bed without getting too greasy

If I could remember what I last used them for it might help me to remember where I left them. Scissors are forever going missing in my house.

Opening the packaging on a new tape measure.

oh yes!
me too,
forget the blasted Emental, it was passata

We were cutting bacon at about the same time !

Pruning the dead bits off an unidentified Aldi houseplant which I’m trying to rescue.

Opening cat food

i definitely have to have more than one pair - vanishing scissors in this house

To open a fresh block of cheese

The Passata thing drives me mad, why is it perforated when you have to cut the bastard thing anyway!?

pizza cutting with scissors is absolutely a superior way of doing it!

To cut ends I'd weaved in on a hat I'm crocheting.

I have crochet scissors, kitchen scissors, living room scissors and pencil case scissors.

Cut up some Velcro to stick on the bottom of a guitar pedal.

Extracting a 512GB MicroSD card from its packaging. Which involved cutting across the cardboard along the "cut here" line, inspecting it to see why it wouldn't open up, realising it was sealed a good 8mm further down than the "cut here" line, cutting across the cardboard 1cm further down, slipping the plastic inner out of the cardboard sleeve, cutting the plastic in the indicated place, realising this achieved nothing, cutting further down the plastic, realising this still achieved nothing, and eventually stabbing at the plastic film until it ripped open and the MicroSD card was accessible.

So glad of this modern convenient packaging.

Cutting daffodils

Last night, to cut the tagliatelle as I was serving dinner.

Cut my empty moisturizer tube in two so I could get to those last dregs

Gave myself a haircut yesterday. Love the result. 💇‍♀️

Me too, and cutting open a net of lemons after shredding my fingers trying to do it by hand.

Cutting my toenails

To cut ends I'd weaved in on a hat I'm crocheting
Same, but on a blanket rather than a hat

Cutting stems off some roses to go in a vase.

I cut my fringe

Snipping chives over the risotto last night . I’m so pleased to see the fresh herbs emerging in the garden.

(btw , I must have well over a dozen pairs of scissors, several have designated use such as embroidery, paper craft, kitchen scissors, hair cutting, and some of them just lie in a drawer in every room because hunting for the scissors when you need them is one of life’s avoidable irritations. I also have a scissor sharpener, which is a blessing).

Cut a shoe lace I couldn’t get out.
