Fingernail Clipping Etiquette

[Donger]

So, I was patiently waiting on a plane yesterday. That "paperwork" can take quite a while sometimes. Anyway, I noticed that my fingernails were in need of a trim. Naturally, I pulled out my clippers and began clipping away. Apparently, the gal next to me didn't like that I was doing it and called for the flight attendant. He said, "Ummm, sir, that's DISGUSTING! Will you please stop?" I told him that I would once I finished my other fingers. He muttered something under his breath and flittered away.

This wasn't the first time I've clipped my nails on a plane, but perhaps that's wrong? Do you ever clip your nails in a public place?

[Bob Dole]

All the time. Why would you litter up your own house with the clippings?

[Donger]

All the time. Why would you litter up your own house with the clippings?

Good point. Although I hadn't considered the waste issue.

[sedated]

I've clipped them at work, right over a trash can.

although, I did borrow a co-workers clippers to do it, and half-way through I thought, "they probably think its gross that I'm using their clippers."

so I made a joke about clipping my toenails when I returned them.


I don't think it's that gross as long as it's over a trash can or something. leaving clippings everywhere is pretty gross. an ex-roommate of mine used to do that.

[trndobrd]

That's pretty damn disgusting. Don't you have a home to do that in?

[Phobia]

Yeah - it's moderately disgusting. Not that I haven't done it at work over a trash can before. But I generally try to reserve that as a pre-shower activity.

I wouldn't personally be disgusted but I can see how others might.

[Saulbadguy]

I don't see how it is disgusting at all.

[Katipan]

Were the pieces just flipping all over the floor and the plane or were you collecting them nicely to later dispose of?

[Fat Elvis]

Why didn't you just scratch your ass and ask the chick next to you to smell your "butt finger?"

It is about the same kind of gross....

[Iowanian]

Its only acceptable in public if you pull out your pocketknife and cut them down with it.

[Dunit35]

I've seen grosser. But fingernail clippings are disgusting. My brother use to try to hit me with his because I would almost throw up.

[Chief Pote]

What waste....has anyone ever tried chewing on them? I mean after you clip them, it could be considered recycling. I'm down with that.

[Otter]

Anyway, I noticed that my fingernails were in need of a trim. Naturally, I pulled out my clippers and began clipping away.

That's my cue to take off my shoes and start popping blisters and peeling off dead skin, blowing my nose and setting down the used tissue on the center arm rest, breaking out the barf bag for some good ol dry heaves.

Let's see who has the stronger stomach.

In other words, do that in your bathroom, not in public.

[Phobia]

You should be more organised with your time. I think you should have apologised.

[pikesome]

Why didn't you just scratch your ass and ask the chick next to you to smell your "butt finger?"

It is about the same kind of gross....

I'm not sure how these two things are even in the same zip code. Clipping your nails is a personal bit of self hygiene, ass-picking is a smelly, nasty deed that shouldn't be shared even with your SO.

[MahiMike]

You should have bitten them off and spit them at her.

[chiefs john]

Disgusting

[Iowanian]

She should have changed her kotex right there and placed it on the armrest, next to Otter's snotty rag.

The worst thing she did, was tattle to the Stewardess instead of just asking you to refrain from that activity.

You shouldn't feel bad though....You're be forever linked to her "One time I had to sit next to XYZ on an airplane" story for friends over a nice Zima.

[Katipan]

I saw a girl change her tampon in a DJ booth.

Whats disgusting about that?

[Phobia]

I don't see anything wrong with it at all. I empty my claustomy bag on the plane all the time. It grounds the plane for days.

[Brock]

I see broads filing their fingernails in public all the time, but I don't get irate about it. You shoulda done your toenails too.

[Dunit35]

I saw a girl change her tampon in a DJ booth.

Whats disgusting about that?


I could possibly ruin peoples days on here on a story I could tell about a buddy of mine and his ex girlfriend.

[Katipan]

Whats the point of that post without a contributing story?



I could ruin people's days on here with a story i could tell about a midget and his donkey.

[Otter]

I could ruin people's days on here with a story i could tell about a midget and his donkey.

Brad needed money for his meal plan, lay off.

[Bob Dole]

You people who are attempting to equate fingernail clippings with excrement and menstrual fluids are pretty messed up.

[Dunit35]

Whats the point of that post without a contributing story?

A midget and a donkey can't be as gross as this story. My buddy use to enjoy putting the tampons in for his ex. and also use to enjoy doing every sexual thing to her while she on her period.


Fine that's my story... :harumph:

[Otter]

Wow dude, you really need to work on your story telling skills.

[Katipan]

That's not gross.

I knew a guy that would soak tampons in vodka while still in the appliactor and then insert the tampon into his ass.

[Dunit35]

Wow dude, you really need to work on your story telling skills.

I've never been much of a story teller.

[Dunit35]

That's not gross.

I knew a guy that would soak tampons in vodka while still in the appliactor and then insert the tampon into his ass.


OK...you got me on that one...I'm from a small town and nothing exciting ever happens.

[Iowanian]

If I were the person sitting next to the Donger as he trimmed his nails, I wouldn't have said anything, unless he left them around or one flicked on me....then I'd have just sprayed a 1 finger Turbo Farmer blow at him and called it even.

Chics do gross stuff in public all of the time...Filing nails isn't much better than trimming, plucking your eyebrows...might as well wax your moustache while you're at it lady.

[Brock]

You people who are attempting to equate fingernail clippings with excrement and menstrual fluids are pretty messed up.

And 3 inch long eyebrow hair. GROSS!!!

[Phobia]

You people who are attempting to equate fingernail clippings with excrement and menstrual fluids are pretty messed up.

Do you know what gets under your nails every day? Besides, you lost a vote when you ceased all hygenic activity last fall.

[Katipan]

What the hell do chicks do in public?

[Iowanian]

If End is already resorting to that at his age.....he's a dedicated drunkaholic. I guess thats one way for him to pass the breath test at work....as long as he doesn't fart. The Russian Shift supervisor would smell out his gimmic for sure.

That's not gross.

I knew a guy that would soak tampons in vodka while still in the appliactor and then insert the tampon into his ass.

[Dunit35]

Yeah, what do chicks do in public that is gross?

[phisherman]

fingernails aren't all that bad coming from a guy who doesn't wash his legs

Bob Dole didn't cease all hygenic activity last fall. Bob Dole still bathed daily until February 1.

[SLAG]

I got yelled at at work for clipping my nails in the trashcan... Like I make sure my hands are more than 1/2 way in the trash can... now if i have to do it at work i just wait til my supervisors arent looking but i can see everyone looking around to see where those clipping noise is coming from.. hell one girl at work thought it was gross that i was going to drink the milk straight out of my 1/2 pint carton

[Donger]

That's pretty damn disgusting. Don't you have a home to do that in?

Yes. I'm just not there very often. And, when I'm there, I'm not usually thinking about fingernails.

It's the airline's fault; if you make me sit on at the gate for an hour, I'm going to make use of the time.

[Donger]

Were the pieces just flipping all over the floor and the plane or were you collecting them nicely to later dispose of?

No. I wasn't collecting them. They went wherever they went.

[Donger]

Why didn't you just scratch your ass and ask the chick next to you to smell your "butt finger?"

It is about the same kind of gross....

Because my ass wasn't itchy.

[Katipan]

thats pretty gross

[Donger]

I see broads filing their fingernails in public all the time, but I don't get irate about it. You shoulda done your toenails too.

Ha! Hadn't considered that.

[Hammock Parties]

You should have saved them and shoved them in her mashed potatoes later.

FYI the fact that fingernails even grow is horribly annoying. I hate clipping my fingernails. I generally feel the same way about hair growth and taking dumps. All of these things are inconvenient. I just might be the world's laziest person.

[Donger]

thats pretty gross

You've never filed your nails in public?

[shakesthecat]

No. I wasn't collecting them. They went wherever they went.


Classy

[Hammock Parties]

I guess I'm waiting for the day when we can all have our brains transplanted into android bodies.

That will eliminate much of the inconvenience of the human body. Worldwide productivity levels will grow an an astonishing rate. As a species, we'll reach a level previously only dreamed of.

[Amnorix]

I personally wouldn't be disgusted, but GENERALLY acts of personal hygiene are generally not to be done in wide-open public places.

Fingernail clippings have a tendency to fly around a bit, so if there are people sitting in close proximity to you, I'd say that's a definite no-no.

[jspchief]

Is it as gross as some people are making it out to be? No, not really.

Is it impolite? Hell yes. Personal grooming should be done in private. A little manners go a long way.

[Hammock Parties]

GENERALLY acts of personal hygiene are generally not to be done in wide-open public places.


Is masturbation considered personal hygiene?

Really it just means we wouldn't have to stop surfing for pr0n in order to get some sleep, doesn't it... :shrug: :hmmm:

[Katipan]

Nope. What the hell for?

[Amnorix]

Only if done in the shower...

[Amnorix]

You're begging to have serious constipation problems when you're an old-timer... "Inconvenient"? Don't go for like 4 days or whatever and see how "inconvenient" it is....

[Hammock Parties]

Oh no, I fully realize the value in going regularly. Prolapsed rectum is a phrase I hope I never hear.

[Donger]

Nope. What the hell for?

You don't fly much, do you.

I admit it. I was annoyed that the flight was delayed. Highly annoyed.

[Katipan]

If it was for revenge it's not as gross :p

[Gonzo]

Maybe the bitch took some shrapnel!

[Lurch]

Why didn't you just scratch your ass and ask the chick next to you to smell your "butt finger?"

It is about the same kind of gross....

WTF? Gross? Only if you got poop under your finger nails. Otherwise, it's not gross. Pansies.

[Taco John]

Gross.

[Taco John]

This reminds me of the time my wife's gross uncle started picking his nostril hairs in my house and then pinch-brushing his fingers. Yeah, the nostril hair is going into the carpet, but WTF?

I imagine I'd be equally disgusted if some stranger sat next to me clipping his fingernails on a plane. It completely shows a lack of class and respect for others.

[JBucc]

Every girl I've ever known has had to stop in a store or in the middle of the sidewalk to start filing her nails at some point.

[sedated]

Filing nails and clipping nails ain't the same f*ckin' ballpark, it ain't the same league, it ain't even the same f*ckin' sport.

clipping nails leaves, well...clippings.

filing leaves virtually nothing.

the waste that is left behind is directly proportional to the level of grossness.

I wouldn't consider the act disgusting, but on a plane (or enclosed space) any passenger should have the right to stop someone from doing something that they consider inappropriate (within reason).

Nonsense. Filed nails leave a potential airborne residue.

Yes. I'd say that's accurate.

Thats a lie.

Or you know like 3 girls.

Not true at all... My wife refuses to do so in public. I found out that it was classless and disrespectful through her. I suggested she do her nails on the plane. She gave me a look that said, "You think I'm one of *those* types of people?" She explained to me just how gross that was, and after considering it, I think she's right. I don't want people taking care of their personal hygeine issues around me in a public setting. It's just gross.

And I found out from a gay flight attendant.

What about farting on a plane? Is that as gross?

yes, because when someone smells an odor, there are particles of that substance going into your nose.

so, by smelling a fart, you are snorting that person's sh!t.


but, you gotta do what you gotta do. I won't sit there all uncomfortable just cause some snobby b!tch thinks its impolite to poot.

This wasn't the first time I've clipped my nails on a plane, but perhaps that's wrong? Do you ever clip your nails in a public place?What the fug is it with you and hygiene anyway Donger? Seriously Dude. All you ever talk about is hygiene and sex? It must be a fetish with you or something. :shake:

I always think the same thing whenever a new hygeine adventure from Donger pops up. It's like a virtual "Darby O'Gill and the Little People," except instead of Darby O'Gill finding adventure and thrills in the world of the little people, it's Donger finding wonderment and amazement in the world of hygeine.

[FAX]

I strive to abide by the decency rule; if a lot of people think it sucks, don't do it in public.

I believe this applies to fingernail clipping as well as the unsolicited distribution of airborne turd particles.

Not true. I like oil threads, too. And an occasional slum session into the DC Forum.

I did this morning. However, I'm traveling and I noticed that my travel toothbrush was covered in some kind of black material. It smelled like rancid cheese. But, since I know that brushing my teeth is very important, I brushed them with said brush anyway.

I did forget to do that this morning in the shower. Then again, I'm at a f*cking Holiday Inn Express and despite being in their "best suite," the f*cking shower head was not behaving properly.

I haven't read all of the pages... but, it's kinda like sitting next to a person as they pick their nose. Nobody wants to see that, much less hear the clippers as they go to town on your nails.

Just do it away from others...

[mike_b_284]

the fingers are all right, I am told its the toes that are gross to mess with in public. I have met lots of people who are disgusted by feet. I don't understand that.
