Leaky nearby microwave oven heated the metal part of the scissors?

can microwaves actually heat metal? i thought microwaves needed dipoles, which conductors won't have?
I thought that metal was heated by microwaves, but a cursory search (which I was too lazy to do before) suggests that it isn't.

So I now think my comment is misleading.
