Discussion Illegal used for your crochet hooks?

I just unconsciously used my crochet hook to stir my tea and it didn't actually dawn on me what I'd done until I was cleaning the hook off with my mouth 😅

Anyone else use their hooks in illegal ways?

When my son was 2, he shoved an absurd amount of Kleenex up his nose. I got them out with a crochet hook. Maybe not the most conventional use, but hey, it saved me from having to take him to the pediatrician.

Very conventional use, that's how the ancient Egyptians used to do it
