What's the meaning of "running with scissors"?

I have always taken it to mean acting recklessly, taking unnecessary risks without thought of consequeces, or perhaps living with incautious abandon...

Running With Scissors Meaning

A possible meaning relates to risky behaviour or taking risks.

For example "Don't you think Bob is 'running with scissors' by riding his motorbike without a helmet!"

i.e. Bob is taking a risk/displaying risky behaviour by not wearing his helmet.

What does it mean?

An error that occurs during the execution of a program. Runtime errors indicate bugs in the program or problems that the designers had anticipated but could do nothing about. For example, running out of memory will often cause a runtime error. You can often recover gracefully from a runtime error.

it means waiting for a disaster to happen. like- you know you could fall and hurt yourself but you run with the scissors anyway

Are you talking about the book by Augustin Burrows? If so Im not sure there was a meaning... what a strange strange life that guy has had...

is this the meaning you are looking for...

Your mother told you to never run with scissors, in case you fell, you could hurt yourself.
