Our new boss wanted us to cut hair with oven mitts on

Last week, our salon owner got this idea from some online article about reducing repetitive strain injuries. He bought a bunch of big, fluffy oven mitts and told us to wear them while cutting to 'cushion our hands'. Can you imagine trying to hold shears with those things? We all looked like we were preparing a turkey, not styling hair. Clients were giving us the weirdest looks, and one lady actually asked if we were doing a themed event. It lasted about two hours before someone dropped a pair of scissors into a sink full of water. We all quietly went back to normal, and the mitts are now in the break room for actual oven use. Still cracks me up thinking about it.
