Why is it that men always clip their nails in public?? My H will clip his nails while sitting at a light in the car! I’ve even see him take off his sandal and start clipping his toenails while sitting in the car! The two attorneys that I work for clip their nails in their office, and the one is not just a quiet “snip snip”....it’s more like “CRACK CRACK”!! It just grosses me out! Recently, I got in my car and (yikes!) I found my husband’s fingernails in my console! SO, men, why is it that you will cut their nails in public??? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

my H doesnt clip his in public but he sits on the couch and does it and yesterday my daughter (1) picked soemthing up to put in her mouth and what was it.......... a toenail clipping.. YUCK@@!!

hb:

I don't clip my nails in public. I go outside in the yard after I've taken a shower (and they're soft - I've broken toenail clippers!) and cut them over the trash can or in the yard.

I do pick my nose in public, though. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

MyLife: Oh, that's just nasty! LOLOL

2long: OH! At least you're considerate....um, where do you put the boogers in the car though (image in head: caked up boogers under the seat...eeewwwww).

<<<<<<<biter--be nice now. Not the toes, though. However, my two-year old does when my back is turned! Agree with o2l-toes after shower--but in the bathroom.

This is bathroom stuff for gray. A guy in my office does it every few days, sitting at his desk. It's not my favorite sound. I'd say most men do it in private, in the bathroom, and carefully dispose of the little daggers. The ones that do it in public sure stand out, don't they?

Hbach: "Where do you put..."

You left yourself wide open for a number of utterly disgusting answers!!! (Can't wait to hear them! Need sumthin to get my day goin already!)

Liny: should I start a thread for "where do you put your boogers??" LOLOL

Graycloud: OH yes, they sure do. My dad will clip his (mind you, he has that nail fungas so they're like 4 feet thick) and put them in the ashtray. They are so sharp, I've actually stepped on one before and hurt myself. Eewwwww.

halseybach,

All of our male grossness is just a subliminal penance for the PMS excuse we get all the time.

NCW: You are truly my hero and I pronounce you spokesman for the male population! Can I get a second for that motion?

Oh NO!! They're rallying against us! HELP!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

LINY:

Yes, so long as I can spell it "2nd"! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

I don't envy you women (sincerely sympathize) for everything your bodies go through. HOWEVER, I don't envy any man (truly empathetic) that has to deal with the repercussions of those changes! Getting back to the original question: kudos to you women! I have NEVER seen a woman cut/clip her toenails.

Perhaps we should dispose of clippings by placing them on the toilet seats we have to leave down.

WAT

You know where all the women's gross remains go? Toilet paper and facial tissue.

When I was single, I used to wonder who in their right mind would buy one of those bulk packs of toilet paper.

Now I know.

And I have 3 sons. If I had 3 daughters I could not imagine the sheer volume of tissue my household would consume.

I mean, how does a female even say they are a member of Greenpeace with a straight face?

Toilet paper is the female equivalent to duct tape.

Oh yeah, one more thing.

The toilet seat issue. I have it solved.

They want the seat down... fine. (then grin evilly)

dewt

WorthaTry: That's horrible! Does it really bother men to leave the toilet seat down? Have you ever left it up then sat down on the nasty rim of the toilet when you needed to...um, well, you know.....

NCWalker: You're right about the toilet paper. I buy bulk (and it has to be the comfy, squishy, expensive kind).

Dewt: ewwww......I've sat on a wet seat before.....go wash go wash!!!

I have two daughters and a wife, and at certain times of the month it seems like we go through a roll a day in each bathroom. AND...it always seems like the bathroom that's out is the one that I'm in! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

And as to nasty habits...nail-clipping is pretty low down on my list. I grew up in the midwest, and it seemed to be an acceptable pastime while waiting for hours for the "women-folk" to finish their shopping.

Higher on my list of pet peeves are:

1) Women applying makeup and/or nail polish in public. Nail polish gives me a horrible headache.

2) Men, or women, picking their noses in public. Usually at a stop light as you pull along side them.

3) And three, and the grossest "popular" habit where I now live (in the west) is "spitting". It seems like 90% of the men around here "chew"; so they're always spitting. At work they spit in the trash cans or on the shop floor; in the car they spit into a can; and then at the stop lights they either a) empty the contents of the can onto the street, or b) Open the drivers side door, stick their heads out, and "evacuate" this large amount of "fluid" that has accumulated in their mouths since the last stoplight! I go on vacations just to get away from the sight of all of it!

So...nail-clipping is pretty tame, in my opinion.

PlumbBob: <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> I apply makeup in the car on the way to work (at the stoplights, not while driving)!

Spitting is so disgusting. Here's a really gross story: when I was about 12, my older brother, myself and some friends were out playing basketball when my brother did one of those "pull it out of your lungs" type of things (you know, the hocker noise?). Well, he just spit it wherever and I happened to be opening my mouth at the time to say something and that yellow lumpy stuff landed right on my tongue!! I've never been the same since. I gag when someone does a hocker.
