(NA) STOP DOING THIS

And just to bring this around to aviation; anyone ever had one of their fellow passengers trim their nails during a flight?

In China and Taiwan, airlines used to distribute nailclippers during the flight, as a gift to passengers, who would all then industriously clip away, all throughout the cabin.

I've only read about this practice. Thankfully I have not experienced it personally.

Here's a Taiwanese version for sale on eBay

So you're all saying that I should bring some clippers to next week's checkride? :)

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.

Just get an app on your phone that plays farting noises on the speaker. Every time your neighbor starts clipping play the app loud enough that they can hear. If they can see you, wiggle your butt in your chair at the same time and sigh. It's pretty likely the clipping will stop after a few episodes of this.
 
UPDATE: basically there are three repeat offenders, a guy and a girl who sit to my right, and another chick to my left. the one girl to my right is probably a once-a-weeker. the guy to my right is a 2 day a weeker. the woman to my left is an every-friggin-dayer. so, about two months or so back, a coworker of mine who is also fed up with the constant nail clipping prints out some 'flyers', basically a printout of a nailclipper inside a red circle with a line thru it, you know the one, the 'no smoking' symbol. she tapes a few of them on cubicles in the area. we think the one woman to my right got the hint, but the guy, that's right, a GUY, who is also a manager, continues to clip his nails. this went on for another good month or so. so we printed out a few of the articles referenced earlier on in this thread, one of the "Clipping your nails is one of the grossest and most annoying things you can do at work" articles and put it on a few desks. we think he got the hint from that. HOWEVER, the chick to my left continued to CLIP, CLIP, CLIP, CLIP, CLIP, CLIP, CLIP, CLIP, CLIP, CLIP, CLIP, CLIP. DAILY. so the other day we had this production issue at work. I'm on calls, working the issue, updating my knucklehead management, yadda yadda. well the issue is finally resolved, one of the big wigs calls me and just as I answer I hear CLIP CLIP CLIP CLIP CLIP CLIP. so I ask the mgr if he could hold on one sec, I mute the phone, walk over to this womans desk, and sternly say WILL. YOU. STOP. CLIPPING. YOUR. NAILS. AT. WORK. PLEASE. Thankyou. and walked away before she could respond.

about 15 minutes later when I was off the phone I walked over and apologized for being slightly irritated, but that I'd really appreciate if she could stop doing that. actually, she was really apologetic and said she didn't realize anyone could hear her. she asked the girl sitting right next to her if she could hear, and she said no. which is really stupid considering I'm a whole extra row over from her and I heard it. anyways, I really hope she got the hint, and for like 2 weeks now we've been CLIP CLIP CLIP CLIP free! WOOOHOOO!!!

Gotta love Corporate America. They expect dedication, loyalty, and teamwork.... until you get the Perp Walk because your "position has been eliminated."
