Let's ask LJ a question

Hey,

So...clipping your fingernails in your cube at work (over a wastebasket to catch all clppings).

Gross? OK? Other?

If gross, what happens if you chip a nail?

Ok if it's just one or two clips. Annoying as hell if it's much more than that.

I agree with this.

Thirded. Otherwise, restroom.

Yeah. I'm not sure but I think it's because clipping nails is not at all gross to me but personal grooming in public space is what's gross. So clipping a broken nail is fine because it's short and is clearly not grooming proper. Clipping all nails makes me think next the person is going to floss and gargle.
