Bro do you even lift
mother flippin people at work who thinks it's acceptable to CLIP their F***ING nails CLIP CLIP CLIP CLIP CLIP CLIP CLIP
It's freakin disgusting and mother freakin ANNOYING so flippin STOP IT MO FO's!!!!!!!!!

Of course in today's world you can't say anything because it'll be 'discrimination'. I have to figure out a way to get these people to stop. I'm thinking of walking over to the persons desk the next time they start clipping their nails and start trimming my nose hair in their cube.
 
Yuk!
Don't try to outgross them though. You may inadvertently just lower the bar on what is acceptable.
They will be all. Ok, I guess anything goes. Then they are crapping in your cubicle or your shoes.
 
At least they weren't clipping their toenails, like one of my FAs saw a passenger doing. :eek:
 
I have coworkers who not only clip their nails at work but floss at their desk!! That is nasty!

I sat across the aisle from Chuck Norris on a flight from Dallas to LAX, once (Legend Airlines); he clipped his nails, and left the clippings in a neat, little pile on the blue leather seat. It was just as nice as you'd expect.

Maybe he thought a fan might collect them?

Cam Newton flosses at work. The director showed it several times so must not be nasty.

At my last job, we had this old man who'd clip his nails a couple times a month. It was a cubicle farm, so we all heard. One day I had enough and was going to walk over and ask him to stop. When I got over there, though, I saw that he was actually doing his TOEnails. I was so disgusted I couldn't even say anything.
 
one of the many articles online about how annoying and disgusting this is

forget about the fact that the noise drives me (and apparently everyone else I talk to about this) insane, but I just don't understand how someone thinks clipping their nails is 'something to do' while at work.

Flossing doesn't make any noise, so I don't have any issues with that. At least that's hygienic.

agreed. while a little gross, I don't hear it, I don't know about it, hopefully I don't see it.
 
I have a friend that used to work in NYC. She always used to complain about the people who would clip their toenails on the train.
 
Well the thing is with the floss is it slings crap out on theit monitor..it's nasty trust me.
Wiping my butt is hygienic but I won't do that at my desk.
 
I close my office door just to eat.
Back in cube land, I recall how much I disliked smelling other people's food in neighboring cubicles.

I also recall how most people could give a s*** less about how their offending odors bother folks around them.
 
I think the next time someone clips their nails in the office, which will most likely be after lunch, I'm gonna start spraying them in the fkng face with a fire extinguisher.

you have a freakin office door? oh wait, you're "working from home", got it!
 
What I miss most about the cube farm was (rather than calling the extension of the person I needed to talk to internally) calling back in from an outside line and asking for that person. The secretary always asked who was calling, and since most of the prairie dogs were sports fans, I always gave her the name of some player or coach. The whole office could always hear her say who was calling and then the prairie dogs would pop up to try and figure out who was making the call.

That and crop-dusting.
 
A friend of mine worked in cube land, and he told me that it got so bad that the company put out a read, sign and return notice on inappropriate hygiene practices in a cubicle.

He also told me several women got very upset when they could no longer come to work, clock in and then start on their make up, hair and nails.

Ugh.... Step into my office Eman.
Have a seat in one of these chairs..
Choose wisely though. One is my fire'n chair and the other is my promotion chair.

HAHAH Just kidding. They are both my Fire'n chairs. GTFO!!

Edit: And yes, I do believe those chairs were likely stolen from a Holiday Inn

I would'a thought erin would have decorated your home office a little better
 
And just to bring this around to aviation; anyone ever had one of their fellow passengers trim their nails during a flight? Ya know, with the clipping debris flying onto other passengers? Yeah, some people have no class.
 
Thankfully I left the cubicle farm right as they decided to make it more "open space" and lower all the cube walls. F-that. Now I work 40 feet underground in a bunker, with a morgue... much more to my liking. Enough folks here with guns strapped to their waistbands, so no one is dumb enough to clip their nails.

Yeah sure. That's why they put you there.

Seriously, I would go insane. If I go 5 feed down into a storm shelter, I start to panic.
I would have to have TVs on the walls showing fake windows or something.

It really sucks in the winter when the days get short. I only get to see sunlight on the weekends.
 
When you clip your nails at home, save em, then just bring them to work as ammo for your rubber-band sling shot. Next time you hear "clip, clip, clip", launch a mortar into the offending cube. If you hear no further clipping sounds, hide the slingshot and ammo, they may be doing reconn. They'll eventually get the message?
