Can you tell I've been a little cranky the last few days? I am now having to endure the irritating sound of the guy in the office next to mine clipping his fingernails. I know a lot of guys do this at work and it's not like I have to see it or anything (and I realize that there are worse things that coworkers can do), but it totally grosses me out (I get grossed out pretty easily, maybe that will change when the baby is born). I keep hearing that "clip, clip" sound and it's driving me crazy. Can't these boys clip their dirty fingernails at home?? Okay, I'm finished venting now.
I FIRMLY believe there are certain things that should be left to the privacy of your own bedroom and bathroom when you are all by your lonesome.
Clipping fingernails (disgusting shudder) is one of them. Gross.
I feel your pain - I'd be annoyed, too. Actually I'd say something but I'm a big mouth like that. (I recently insisted the cab driver change his radio station because the song was making me want to hurt someone.)
No, seriously- Im also very adamant that this part of grooming should be left at home. Just to add, there was this exec. here at our co. that would clip his toe nails! ! !

I mean, if you're an exec, wouldn't you have an office with a door that you could close so that everyone else doesn't have to know about the toenail clipping.
EWWWWW! My ex used to do this in the living room, when I wasn't around to complain, thinking I'd never know. But of course he was an idiot and never cleaned up properly after himself. Only one of a million reasons why we are now divorced. Absolutely unacceptable behavior. I feel for you...

Agreed. One time, a guy was clipping his fingernails IN CHURCH. He was an usher, nonetheless.

Fingernail clipping at work is unacceptable. To keep a set of clippers to take down a jagged nail in the restroom is okay. Otherwise, groom on your own time. If I don't pluck my brows at my desk, you shouldn't clip your nails at yours. It's only fair.
