Fingernails - Cut in private or public

[Wangel]

My co-worker, every 3 or 4 days takes out her little manicure kit and starts clipping her fingernails, then files them, then does other things to them. Everytime I hear the fingernail cutter 'click', it tends to strike a nerve in me. Occasionally I'll need to consult with her, and there will be a pile of finger nails on her desk or fingernail dust from filing her nails.

My opinion is that this should be done in private, not in public. It really bothers me to see people clipping their fingernails on the bus or at a restaurant, or some other place and the finger nails will go flying.

Actually, I can't think of any human by-product (non-sexual) that anyone really wants around them. Be it hair, ear-wax, snot, saliva, feces, dead skin, or fingernails.

haha, yeah that's pretty nasty. Just confront her, or is she not very approachable? Be sure to watch out for flying nails...don't get one in the eye!

as in the type used to cast spells. looks like a small doll

course you will need to sacrifice a chicken for the blood needed..

My boss likes to clip his fingernails while I'm standing there talking to him. That is nasty, can't you even wait until I'm out of the room?!?

I just bite them off. Where-ever, whenever

oh man, needs to be private.....
i was taking the mcat back in april and during the last section, the proctor just pulls out a clipper and proceeds to trim up his nails for the next 45 min....talk about hard to concentrate

I agree, hearing that annoying click... click coming from the next cubicle is just annoying. I always wonder why people even bring clippers to work. Why not do it at home? I'm not going to bring my razor/toothbrush/deodorant to work and use it here. I prefer to groom myself in my bathroom, not my cubicle.

Its OK in public if they trim them at about the neck level.

 

[Yeeny]

Private! I hate when people do that in front of me, its disgusting.

 

[Wingznut]

That "click" sound is just awful.

Should I also lock my door when I clip my fingernails in my room? Sometimes people comes into my room while I am doing it, should I stop then?
