This is semi gross and funny

My co-worker clips her nails a lot at work. This time I heard a "clip" and I big long-ass nail fell smack down right in front of my mouse. It totally flew right over our 4ft divider.

Re: This is semi gross and funny

  • What is it about people clipping their nails at work? There are TWO people at my office who do it and it's so weird. I can hear the clip-clip-clip all the way at my desk. I don't get why they don't do this at home or at least in the bathroom.
  • I don't get why people clip nails in public at all. ?I've even heard it in church. ?It drives me nuts!

  • As a reformed former offender:

    I never knew the noise bugged someone til a co-worker asked me to stop.

    And I did it at work because I never realized my nails were too long until they started hitting the keys on my keyboard.  It drove me CRAZY and I'd have to do something.  Now I go to my car to do it.

  • I think shes like lala - a "strong nailed" person who needs to clip their nails so they can type. I have weak nails too so this is not something I have to do to work.

     

  • I've done it at work. I don't always notice my nails have gotten long enough to poke holes in my gloves before I get to work and, well, poke a hole in my gloves. I've never done it with anyone else in the room, though.

  • I have strong nails, and I type quickly, but you do notice when they start to get too long. ?It's not like it magically happens overnight. ?At the very least, you go outside, or you do it in the bathroom if you just can't take it anymore.

    It does happen overnight, I swear.  One day fine.  The next, auggggghhhh!

    I have the same problems with LLL.  I file her nails one day and the next they are scratch-inducing again.  Drives me crazy.

    And even if one's nails don't grow as fast as mine, I could easily see forgetting about it once you get home.  But I have a memory like that.

    Either way, I agree about going out of ear shot.

  • LLL - that explanation actually makes sense.  Thanks for sharing.

    As for my gross co-worker story, I once walked in on a partner (I'm an attorney) clipping his nose hairs at his desk.  His office door was wide open.
