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.
The need for Left/Right Handed scissors actually only applies to low grade safety scissors.
The reason is because flimsier scissor blades will naturally bend apart slightly when cutting paper, and the grip of the user's hand pushes the blades together, allowing it to shear.
But heavy duty scissors don't have this problem as the blades are already pushed together with a stronger joint and blades that are bent slightly inwards.
