Ew. Was the nail clipper a customer or someone on the kitchen staff?

Fingernails or toenails?

Ewww...

I always thought that any personal hygiene act must be done in private. Now I realize that I have, once again, overestimated the common sense of the members of the Human race. Is there a rampant barbarian cult out there who train people to make them socially offensive or it is a failure of the gene-pool?

I've already seen that in a bathroom of a Dennys Amy

Some people go out of their way not to have any class or manners.

My boss called me into a meeting and clipped his toe nails the entire time I was in his office. I ran out as quick as I could. EEEWWW!

My former next door neighbor would sit outfront of his house (townhouses) and clip his toe nails. How disgusting. I'd run into my house if I saw him doing it. Why on earth would you want to go outside and do that is beyond me.

I've never clipped my nails in public, but I don't understand why it's so disgusting to you people. No, I don't want other people's nail clippings/hair/dandruff in my food, but I don't understand the strong reactions.

Ew ew ew ew! That's a visual I really didn't need, Amy!
William, the strong reactions are because clipping nails is something that one should do in the privacy of one's home, preferably in the bathroom, over the waste bin! o.O

Horrifying.

People clip their fingernails on subways and streetcars on the odd occasion when I've been on them, and it GROSSES me out. The nail bits land on everybody in the vicinity, and could fly into your eye or your hair. Apparently, if you inform the streetcar driver that someone is clipping their nails, the vehicle is taken out of service, emptied of passengers and declared a health hazard (that's what I was told once).

I was working at a non-profit when this happened (my boss clipping his toe nails). I'm thankfully no longer there.

ICK! The very first time I met the woman who would become my s-i-l, she was clipping her toenails with her feet (and the clippings) on the coffee table of her future mother-in-law (who wasn't home or s-i-l would have been corrected swiftly). This is the same woman who always used to say (of her husband) "My money is my money and his money is my money." She also once corrected her 4-year-old who had told me to shut up by telling him the proper term was "be quiet." Some people just don't have any manners.

What was your momma doing with the sailors when she was supposed to be teaching you how to behave?

This might be the best quote I have ever read. I love it and am stealing it- I hope you don't mind!

Some commuter train passengers where I live seem to think it's the perfect place to clip their nails. Clip, clip, clip, clip as you are trying to read your book. Yuk. Pleeease don't!!
