Does anyone else have directional issues when trying to use scissor with your left hand while looking into mirror? (Assuming your right hand in your primary hand, for left handers - does it happen with your right hand?)

I remember my dad doing this back in the 1960s with his camera to create a sort of basic telephoto lens. Didn't work real well because you couldn't get the focus right most of the time, but sometimes it came out great.

It is at that point when Jimmy suddenly realised that the balcony was not designed to support the weight of all the water in his nifty pool design. RIP Jimmy! He had a bright future...except for in the field of structural engineering.
