I don't bother with left-handed scissors for that reason. I find that I have adapted well to using things made for right-handed people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lefties-do-you-remember-those-lefty-scissors-in-elementary-that-never-worked#post-1014771 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 22:26:23 +0000 deactivated_account 1014771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember them!

If you didnt run to get your scissors fast enough you were stuck with the only 2 green scissors at the bottom of the basket. </p> <p>Oh, how tough it is to be a right handed individual sometimes.. :wink:</p> <p>DH is a south paw and I secretly love when he can't open a can.. I'm like STEP ASIDE FEEBLE MAN.

I think this is the reason I'm better with right-handed scissors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lefties-do-you-remember-those-lefty-scissors-in-elementary-that-never-worked#post-1014479 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 19:34:55 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1014479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't like them and just used righty scissors with my left hand - still do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lefties-do-you-remember-those-lefty-scissors-in-elementary-that-never-worked#post-1014355 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 18:37:49 +0000 prettylizy 1014355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I had lefty scissors with my name stuck on them with a piece of tape. They suck.

I am a lefty but use scissors with my right hand as a result of those awful lefty scissors!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lefties-do-you-remember-those-lefty-scissors-in-elementary-that-never-worked#post-84671 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 21:23:38 +0000 chopsuey 84671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally remember them!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lefties-do-you-remember-those-lefty-scissors-in-elementary-that-never-worked#post-84668 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 21:23:04 +0000 anbanan15 84668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh your paper would always just fold over the scissors when you tried to cut. I don't understand why lefty scissors ha to be so special compared to the white!</p> <p>DH and I are both left handed so it's really nice not having to worry about finding the correct scissors or which side of te table to site on etc. I'm kinda hoping DS becomes left handed as well. We'll see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lefties-do-you-remember-those-lefty-scissors-in-elementary-that-never-worked#post-84656 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 21:19:58 +0000 mediagirl 84656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol! I actually remember those. I also recall they "worked" like righty scissors if you tried to use them with your left hand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lefties-do-you-remember-those-lefty-scissors-in-elementary-that-never-worked#post-84650 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 21:18:19 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 84650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: ha! well i assume after 25 years they've improved on their scissors selection but dang was I scarred for life! My construction paper would always get stuck in the scissors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lefties-do-you-remember-those-lefty-scissors-in-elementary-that-never-worked#post-84643 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 21:15:16 +0000 heffalump 84643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't even a lefty and I remember that! I hope my LO's not a lefty for that very reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lefties-do-you-remember-those-lefty-scissors-in-elementary-that-never-worked#post-84640 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 21:14:30 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 84640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everytime we talk about preschool and kindergarden I have memories of lefty metal scissors that never freaken worked. I wonder if I'm the only one with vivid memories of those. </p>
