Especially not me. I remeber the horrors of those
blasted scissors. They wouldn't cut through wet toilet
paper. But what really used to irk me were the left
handed scissors. See, I'm left handed (really, I'm
more towards ambidexterity), but I can't use left
handed scissors. I can only use right handed scisors
and every time I tried to use left I would mess up.
This is probably due to the fact that my mother is
right handed nad when your 3 year old daughter tells
you she needs to use the scissors, you just give her
yours. So I learned to use the right handed ones. 

And when the teachers used to see that I wrote left
handed they were all happy because the left handed
scissors would FINALLY get used. No they wouldn't.
They would set those scissors on my desk (You know,
the standard passing out of scissors) and I would
calmly put those suckers back and pick up a set of
right handed scissors and confuse them. 

Life was so much easier wehn I got to 3rd grade and my
mom got me a set a smaller pair of the big pointy
sharp scissors like she used to sew. Really tripped
out my teacher until she saw I wasn't going to fling
them at the other kids.
