… you are sitting in your cubicle, concentrating on important reports, preparing for a meeting you have in half an hour. It is nice and quiet as most people that sit around you are on vacation. You’re enjoying the peace and quiet when all of a sudden you hear…. SNIP…. SNIP…. SNIP….. One of your neighbouring cubicle mates has decided it is appropriate to sit at HIS desk and cut his fingernails.,… UGHHHHH!!!
How fucking gross is that? Thing is the guy is actually sitting like 10 cubicles over. That’s how quiet it was… until he decides it’s appropriate to groom himself on company time.
I think this is the most disgusting thing ever. Go to the fucking bathroom and cut your nails or better yet DO IT AT HOME. Freak. —Enough already

If that’s the worst thing going on in your office, then get on your knees and thank God. What a waste of a bitch.
When I was on the subway in Toronto last week a girl did this in the seat across from me. I almost threw up. There’s a time and a place people!
LOL. It’s just cutting finger nails. Are you fucking kidding me?! It’s not like he decided to give himself an enema or something.
you could only hear it, perhaps he was whittling or playing tiddlywinks
Gross. Wait until he gets to his toenails tomorrow, and his pubes on Wednesday.
Anyone who thinks that is overly disgusting is a little bitch, get the fuck over it.
HA, there aren’t many jobs I can think of that requires an enema at work.
doctor and pornstar are the only ones that come to mind….
I’m curious OP, do you consider biting nails at work to be just as gross?
Only you really know but they’re technically at LEAST on the same level…
I have to admit, that sometimes when I get to work and try to type my nails are just a little too long, and I trim them down. But I have a semi-private office and I work with a bunch of girls, so I really don’t think anyone has a problem with it…
I’ll paint my fingernails at work, but not clip them… yay for fumes 😀
The fumes could make a boring day at work more enjoyable for sure! Brilliant, Mind Snap!
Sharpies also do the trick
Manicures on company time? Really? Totally inappropriate unless defined in the job description. Proper time management requires grooming to be scheduled during personal time.
OceanLady: I work in a call centre… I believe that is more than enough explanation lol
PS: Manicures consist of hand soaks, trimming, filing, and then painting nails… I only paint my nails which have grown quite nicely since I was in a cast, and down a hand for over a month… They’re now a sparkly crimson 😀
You know when you get a little nick in your fingernail? And it gets caught in fuzz and hair and all kinds of gross stuff?
I hate that.
^^I agree. Me too. And when you try clipping the nail down al ittle more to even it out and just makes it worse. Ugh.
if you think its acceptable to clip your finger nails at work or in public you are fucking sick…we are not overly sensitive …you are just fucking retarded…use your fuckin brain
Okay everybody at 1:30pm tomorrow, take out your nail clippers and go to town. Then to piss the almighties a bit more go and pick your nose (now that is gross).
