The chronic nail clipper

Even though it happens almost every day, I'm always surprised to hear that sound. Im always taken back because first of all, I think its disgusting and rude, and second, I don't think it should be done in the office, yet I hear it all the time. What am I talking about?

NAIL CLIPPING!

I absolutely HATE to hear someone clipping their nails in the office. One of my coworkers clips his nails nearly every day! I always think to myself, "How many nails does this man have? Is he clipping his toenails too?"

What's so difficult about going to the bathroom? I can't see the guy because he sits behind me, but I bet my last dollar that he isnt even clipping them over the trash can either! YUCK. I think what creeps me out so much is the visual. I simply think that is something that should happen at HOME, not at WORK around people. Ewwwww

Oh, before I forget-- Last week while I was downstairs in the little shoppette, guess what I discovered the lady at the register doing? CLIPPING HER NAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They sell fresh sandwiches and stuff in that shoppette. I was appalled and I told the manager that that was nasty. He just shrugged.

Im grossing myself out, so Im going to end this post.

Grooming your self at work: A MAJOR no-no

One of the biggest faux pas and annoying things people do in the workplace is groom themselves.
That stuff should be done in private. Noone, and I do mean NO ONE wants to see how you make yourself look the way you do. It should remain a mystery!
Don't clip your nails at your desk. Don't brush your hair, or teeth. (Yes, people brush at their desks)

I think it's reasonable to straighten your tie, or don a little gloss- even put lotion on your hands, but all the rest can be done at home, or in the bathroom.

I hate to hear the nail clippers snapping while I'm trying to work. I don't want to think about having to navigate through your trail of nail clippings strewn about the floor. (You know these people don't even have the courtesy to clip over the trash can)

Then there are the public flossers! Good grief! Mr./Ms. DISGUSTING, have you any manners, or home training at all?

It's a wonder you got this far up the ladder.

Don't get me wrong. I am all for good grooming, and keeping up one's appearance, but give us a break! I, nor do any of the co-workers in the office, want to know the intimate details of your hygiene routine.

We are grateful that you want to be at your best, but do us all a favor. Keep it in the closet.

Thank you,
