Fingernail Clipping Etiquette - Page 4

**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?

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.

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.

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.

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...

Only if done in the shower...

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....

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

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

If it was for revenge it's not as gross

Maybe the bitch took some shrapnel!

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.
