It’s Called PERSONAL Hygiene

Why do people not understand that some things are “personal” and should be done in the privacy of your own home? Every Friday and Monday, two different co-workers (both male mind you) cut their nails at work. This is disgusting. Ever time I hear the “clip” all I can see is their nail bits flying all over the office. I also know a few people (again men) that cut their nails during church….are you serious. How can I listen to the speaker and feel the spirit when all I can here is you nail clipper and I KNOW those are going all over the floor because who carried around a garbage can for their nail clippings?

How can we combat this? First, I think we need to have one voice and work on re-educating men on how hygiene works and WHERE it should be worked. For the time being, whenever I am at work and can hear someone clipping their nails I say as loud as possible “Is someone really clipping their nails? That’s disgusting. Go do it in the bathroom.” I am yet to find a patch solution for the church nail clipper. Any suggestions?

Sit next to them and pluck your eyebrows???
I agree, the madness must be stopped.

I must admit I'm guilty of sometimes clipping at work. But I try and do it "quietly" under my desk so no one can hear. It's kind of a game I play. Can I get a way with it without anyone seeing (I'm in a cude) or hearing. Yes, I agree it's a little disgusting but it's kind of fun too?

Maybe I'll come visit you at work sometime :)
