It's pretty ridiculous that out of courtesy, you can't wait a few hours to do this or at the very least, take you clippers into the bathroom.

fingernails or toenails??

Either way, if you've got your own office that you can shut the door it wouldn't bother me at that point.
Whoa.... definitely just fingers. Toes would be brutal. Even with the door closed, I couldn't do that.
Fingers only...

Check out JL with the office...Mr. Big timer.

I can understand a toothbrush or even an electric razor at work. But one of more endearing qualities of fingernail maintenance is that you can do it well in advance of any social engagements. Sure, occasionally your hand dips into a vat of calcium enhancer but that's pretty rare. I've been known to walk the razor's edge and wait until the weekend to do it.

It did just occur to me that we have 3 pair at home and I can never find them. Maybe this makes more sense than I thought.

I think its more wierd to brush your teeth in the public restroom than to clip your fingernails at your desk or where ever.

Amen brother! It is my king pet peeve. I really don't care that much about the freekin hygene, it is just the worst sound in the world. As far as the hygene goes, the back of the fingernail contains every gross crusty thing that comes out of or off of the human body along with several crusty gross things from the earth. Do it at home you f'n retards.
