First of all, biting your nails is gross. Do you have any idea how much grossness lives under your fingernails? But what really makes me sick, is those of you who bite your nail down so far that half of your finger tip sticks up OVER the top of your nail. And I see you people biting desperately at it still! It’s not going to get any shorter! Then, why of all the colours in the world would you paint it dark purple? Way to make it stand out! —Kick the Habit Already

I don’t bite my nails because I don’t like those sharp ridges it leaves. That’s why I always keep a nail file with me — if I break a nail I can file down the rough edges.
The longer the nail, the more room for festering germs to make a home. I am digusted by people with talons at the end of their fingertips. Yuck!
I like to keep mine short. I used to get yelled at by my piano teachers to cut my nails when they were long, so I got used to it. I like a little bit of length, but nothing that really extends above the tip of the finger.
LOL my mom always asks “how do women with those long ass nails wipe their arses?” when she sees someone with inch and a half finger nails.
Now toe nails? Nothing creeps me out more than french manicured toe nails that extend past the toe line. That shit’s just NASTY.
* if I hear a clacking sound on the piano keys I know it’s time to cut my nails. You get marked down during piano examinations and competitions if your nails clack against the keys.
can’t bite your nails, can’t clip your nails. so how the fuck are they supposed to be trimmed down? you get hell from assholes for clipping on a bus, ew, it’s gross. you get shit for gnawing on them, ew it’s gross too. well fuck you, maybe i have left over cunt juice under there, and i’nm sucking the rest out, by pretending to bite them. but even if i did, is that any of your fcking business at all?
I am wondering how you get so up close and personal with people’s fingers that you can describe them the way you do. Whatever the reason, just stop doing it then you won’t have to look at all the disgusting fingertips.
I don’t bite my nails but I do bite the skin around my nails…I know, super gross. If I had the choice to chew nails/skin or to not chew them, I would choose not to. Unfortunately it’s not that easy for the majority of nail biters. It’s a nervous/anxious habit that one can’t just shut off.
Noww leemee alone.
force of habit…
“Do you have any idea how much grossness lives under your fingernails?”
it’s coming into contact with that ‘gossness’ that builds up the immune system.
I attribute my bad habit to contributing to my excellent attendance record at work, thanks.

What’s really nasty is seeing someone knawing on their fingers on the bus *shudder*.
You fucking hypocrite.
You know what I’m talkin’ bout.
Also: get that ‘stop and grow’ shit — they make your nails taste like bitter shit and it gets you out of the habit. *shrug*
I wish they made something like that for lip/cheek biters. I have that unfortunate habit 🙁
*not you, iheartthecoast, zed. He’s the hypocrite. 😀
I use hand sanitizer so my hands usually taste terrible but even that doesn’t stop me. It’s not a conscious thing. For me anyway. I wonder if I’m doing damage to my liver… can you imagine? “Woman has liver failure due to ethyl alcohol covered bits of finger skin”. Yuck yuck.
Teeth were fine for nails millions of years. You and your modern world. Bah!
was waiting to see how long that’d come out…
truly that was the only image of googling nail biting that wasn’t either completely fake or gross….
does prove my point how annoying it is though.
only took you 14 minutes to pounce.
My fingers stick out over the top of my nails (when they are cut short) by about half a centimeter. And I don’t bite my nails. Is that still gross?
Hay, I didn’t say that picture was annoying, I just said you’re a fucking hypocrite to post it 😉
Also: three bitchers have commented to me on how adorable you are, zed. SO THERE. heh heh.

I think I also heard the term “hunk” used, as well.
No fucking word of lie.
Don’t forget the scab picker….especially retail staff when they are bored.
And since when did *other people* chewing their nails become *your* business.
Don’t you have to go tattle on a 3rd grader, OP?
