I think all you pruners will appreciate this scene from the NFGS 2005.

I'd suggest that she pulls those fingers back out of the way

Boy, can I relate to the woman. I am so glad my neighbors fired their previous lawn crew. I caught them more than once pruning *my* plants or the plants belonging to the neighbors on the other side. I also caught them pruning my neighbors' plants, despite my neighbor specifically telling them to *never* prune. Last week, I found old pruning cuts on my paperbark maple and I know who did it. I'm hoping I can fix their botched job without removing too much of the branch. I am so glad they were fired!
Pruners should never make into the hands of certain people.
PS Thanks for sharing the picture, Debbie. I got such a kick out of this pair at the Plant Amnesty booth.
