Nails

So I have a friend who has invested a fortune in fake nails. Gets them done all the time, has to go for some kind of surgical-sounding prcedure that involves filling in cracks every now and again.
Got a job that prohibits them as she'll be in operating rooms. Was so upset. Has to go and get them removed / unpeeled / amputated. Apparently there's a good shot her own nails will look something less than lovely once the fake ones are off.
I don't get it. Why on earth put those things on? (Admittedly, this is coming from someone who has not had polish on her nails for many a year _ I like mine short, neatly filed, and clean.)
And now that I think of it _ what's the big deal with all the polish and stick on stuff?

GROSS.
I will occassionally get mine polished, but keep them short, and never extend the little germ catchers with press ons.

Somewhere on Cambridge Street, a graduate student is vomiting...
I agree, and keep in mind ladies, guys think one thing when they see nails -- are they dangerous around our junk? yup, we're pigs. :P
Just a little too overenthusiastic in the caressing and *BAM* there you are on a gurney in the emergency department, with a 24 year old resident gripping a surgical stapler in her sweat palms and gazing with uncertainty at your... "junk."
you should've seen this one girl's nails that I used to work with....she jammed a fake nail with the dental drill, and it got all infected, she kept having the nail salon person fill in the holes with spackle or whatever...finally her entire nail fell off...the whole thing...it was all green and oozing puss.
she had to take off all the rest of the nails...guess some of those were getting all infected too...she wore those press on nail thingies during the day.
as soon as the nail grew back, she got her fake nails put back on... :roll:
and unlost, you'll love this...she was a surgical assistant...probably had all sorts of nasty germs under those things.

Silly young thing.

sure...go ahead and blame me
for ONCE im innocent!!!
1. why?-does it annoy your spouse, and stray flying nails land in their hair or drink, so you must clip at work? Those same stray nails could fly into a co-worker's hair, coffee, gummy bears, skittles, brownies, peanut m&ms...yuck
2. do you feel that clipping nails is a substitute for using a nail brush/scrubbing under your nails?-do you scrape out the underside before you clip?
3. would you be offended if the person next to you clipped their toenails? Do you want toe nails in your coffee?
4. would a person flossing in the next cube over annoy you? I feel that is the same thing...flinging unwanted bodily products all over the place.
please discuss...

Oh, please don't.

By that I mean one day I was driving in to work - had a suit and tie on and was set to visit with some clients - and I noticed that I should have trimmed my nails that AM. (I am fanatical about keeping them super short.)
Stopped at 7-11 and bought a crappy nail clipper, clipped them in the parking lot and felt better about things during the meeting than I would have. (Crazy, I know.)
Kept them in there and actually have used probably 2-3 times a year since.
[Worth noting that I have my own office and nobody can hear/see when I do this. I do it over my trash so that I leave no evidence of my laziness induced emergency procedure!]
Gross? Yeah, I guess. But I can cop to it.
but twisty insisty-ed

I went up for a rebound (like the beast that I am) and an opponent hit the ball with some force and it hit my thumbnail, straight on... it hurt so fucking bad I immediately in the middle of play just had to get to the bench...so I did. My finger was bleeding and I was nervous to take a look but it had to be done, so I did... the ball had hit my nail so hard that half of the nail had bent back and was sticking straight up.
Yeah...
I had to push it back down... it was pretty damn painful.
Multiple people in the gym told me they heard the ball hit my nail.
It sucked.

GAH!
1. I do it because sometiems I forget to do it at home, so when I remember (by typing and realizing my nails are too long) I do it then to avoid forgetting more and in turn, being more annoyed by the nails that are too long for my preference.
2. No. It's gross and I should, but I don't. Wanna fight about it?
3. You'll need to elaborate more on the scenario. In the cube over? No. As long as their feet don't stink I don't care.
4. No. Anyone that flings shit from flossing is gross and needs to take Flossing 101.

It was awful. I almost passed out. This is actually the second nail horror story I've had. Care to hear the other?

1. fair enough-i suppose women have it easier as nails clicking on the computer keys aren't that annoying to us.
2. no, but I just hope that you're not that kind of guy that constantly has black junk under your nails-take note guys, this is a HUGE turn of for most girls
3. As in the cube right next to you, and you have full view of said cracked heel, yellowed nail feet-last office I worked at, you could see everybody, see what they were doing, you could see anything that went on at any time...I could shoot a nerf gun at someone across the floor 5 rows over.
4. I have seen people fling shit when they floss...it's not pretty...same with toothpick users....and eating whatever you get out from your between your teeth to me, is like eating your boogers

2. No, I hardly ever have shit under my nails... when I work outside, go camping, or do whatever that gets dirt and junk under my nails, I clean them asap.
3. Okay, given your description, no I'm okay. But I still stand that if I don't have to be a witness to it, I'm fine.
As long as they can clip and not send things flying my way, I'm good. In all seriousness, that isn't a hard thing to do.
