Fingernail Clipping Etiquette

**Donger** · 03-07-2006, 09:50 AM

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?
