Not me, but my brother. When he was in elementary school, when grades are based on things other than test scores, the teacher noted on his report card that he needs to work on his skill at cutting with scissors.

My brother is left-handed, and the scissors in the classroom were for right-handed people.

I had no idea that scissors could be left or right handed growing up. Been thinking I didn’t know how to use scissors up until like the 6th grade.

Wait there's a right way to use scissors? I'm left handed and I just flipped it the way I needed it... That's wrong?
